I love the colors, the drape and structure, the length of the dress, the patterned tights. Everything works beautifully. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1446368 Tue, 24 Feb 2015 05:48:37 +0000 Eliza 1446368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love everything about this look. Sophisticated, today and great use of color and proportions. </p> <p>Sorry for the migraine and understand how one can hi-jack the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1446206 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 21:45:05 +0000 AM 1446206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great success!

Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1446205 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 21:43:44 +0000 Anonymous 1446205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great look.

The shine of the patent &amp; the texture of the hose add so much to this look - the devil is in the details </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1446111 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 19:02:49 +0000 catgirl 1446111@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done, Shannon.&nbsp; I think your closet is versatile enough to accommodate a sliding scale of drape/structure options however you want.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1446108 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 19:01:30 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1446108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So after I got dressed and posted this thread, I got hit with a nasty migraine (it's been hovering for a couple of days) and ended up going back to bed rather than to work. On the bright side I can wear this outfit tomorrow since nobody other than YLF saw it today!</p> <p>Joy - I consider my EF drape front short sleeved dresses summer dresses but this EF dress has long sleeves and is a bit of a heavier fabrication meant for fall/winter. I tried my summer ones with tights but they did not work at all.</p> <p>Angie - it was just a matter of time wasn't it? In fact my first shopping search for spring is a sharp shoulder blazer - more about this in an upcoming post.</p> <p>Thanks for your feedback ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1446048 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 16:53:29 +0000 Windchime 1446048@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it! Some people would look staid in a burgundy dress and black blazer, but your tights and shiny boots keep this outfit from looking anything like staid! I learn from your reflections about structure vs. drape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1446041 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 16:46:57 +0000 Karie 1446041@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another great look! I love patterned tights, and I love houndstooth, and my local Macy's carries Hue, so...I'll be right back... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1446020 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 16:11:30 +0000 Suz 1446020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful, Shannon!

I love the hose, Shannon. You look Playfully Professional.&nbsp;</p> <p>(I was wondering when your love for structure was going to re-surface).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1445968 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 14:50:15 +0000 Anonymous 1445968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks successful. How do you feel? My EF dresses are for summer. I have tried a blazer but it hasn't looked right to my eye. Maybe an assymetrical jacket? Your dress looks great with the blazer. I am watching your outfits closely as this is inspiring stuff. I would love to find a way to winterize those summer dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1445955 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 14:28:13 +0000 Jaime 1445955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Classic Shannon - you look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1445946 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 14:10:09 +0000 jackiec 1445946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up as usual </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1445944 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 14:07:10 +0000 Robidi 1445944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1445943 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 14:00:58 +0000 Nebraskim 1445943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well done.

And, hah, I wear houndstooth tights today, too:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1445915 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 12:41:36 +0000 rute 1445915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love your posts! A great inspiration for work looks! I love that you always add your personal edgier element, like booties or pattern fab tights! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-red-black-drape-structure#post-1445909 Mon, 23 Feb 2015 12:22:51 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1445909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm working towards finding my "sweet spot" with drape and structure. I'm wanting the ease and comfort of my EF pieces to be combined with sharper shoulders and structure.</p> <p>Today's outfit started with my dark red EF drapey dress. I then added my houndstooth patterned tights for a bit of fun and pattern. On top of the dress, I added my black suit blazer - this is the structure that will keep the drapey dress "in check" and give me a more prominent shoulder line. Black patent pointy toe booties and rectangular black patent clutch add even more structure - and a bit of shine.</p> <p>Rose gold/black watch, gold wedding band, red specs and red lipstick finish off the outfit.</p> <p>Thoughts? Tweaks or suggestions? As always, all comments welcome.</p> <p>Blazer: Nygard<br /> Dress: Eileen Fisher (eBay)<br /> Tights: Hue<br /> Booties: Ara<br /> Clutch: Danier Leather (thrifted) </p>
