I am impressed with your VV find. Good for you! Now look at it, Madame, on ne se mouche pas de pelures d'oignons!<br /> (literally: you don't blow your nose into onion peels - meaning you have luxurious things). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shades-of-grey-a-little-vintage#post-599682 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 03:59:21 +0000 Amy 599682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good GAWD that watch is an unbelievable thrifting score!

DID YOU HEAR THAT??? </p> <p>Shannon, not only are you a shopping genius, but you look amazing. I LOVE this outfit. That blouse is just divine on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shades-of-grey-a-little-vintage#post-599663 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 03:22:38 +0000 Jaime 599663@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the length of your skirt looks perfect here actually.

The watch is like the thrifting holy grail. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shades-of-grey-a-little-vintage#post-599651 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 03:04:45 +0000 Debora 599651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Major score with the watch -it's gorgeous! I love that blouse so much on you. You look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shades-of-grey-a-little-vintage#post-599562 Fri, 20 Apr 2012 00:40:38 +0000 Aida 599562@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty! Lovely blouse (of course I'm biased as I also have it ^^), it just works perfectly with the charcoal pencil skirt. WHAT a find on the watch! Love how your purse and shoes pick up on one of the smallest colors in the blouse, very nice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shades-of-grey-a-little-vintage#post-599510 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 23:32:34 +0000 Jonesy 599510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look awesome, professional, and chic! I am dying over your Gucci thrifting story. I like the length of the skirt--looks good to me :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shades-of-grey-a-little-vintage#post-599501 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 23:19:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 599501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can't help but notice that a few people commented that they'd like to see this skirt a bit shorter. May I ask if that's a common thought in my outfits? Is there no love for midis on this shortie? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shades-of-grey-a-little-vintage#post-599487 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 23:00:40 +0000 lpr200 599487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it, but I agree with rachylou! And I'm wildly jealous about the watch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shades-of-grey-a-little-vintage#post-599467 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 22:03:47 +0000 rachylou 599467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that blouse with the skirt and plum accessories!</p> <p>I *am* wondering what the skirt would look like just above the knee. Just. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-shades-of-grey-a-little-vintage#post-599445 Thu, 19 Apr 2012 21:05:19 +0000 Meredith1953 599445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very beautiful!

I’ve paired it with the Halogen pussy bow blouse (hi MaryK!), nude micro fishnets (it was -6 this morning!), my plum suede Mary-Jane pumps and my vintage plum Cartier handbag. </p> <p>I’ve also included a close up of my Gucci watch. I actually found this at my local Value Village about three months ago where they were charging a mere $23 for it. It was absolutely filthy and didn’t work but I knew what it was and thought it had major potential. I took it to a local watch repair shop where they cleaned it, put in a new battery (that’s the only reason it wasn’t working) and then promptly told me the retail price/value of the watch was $445. Those are four real diamond chips on the face and the watch is a combination of sterling silver and etched platinum. Who the heck takes something like that to Value Village???</p> <p>I feel pretty in this outfit – I hope it looks good. As always all comments/suggestions welcome. Anything you’d change in this outfit?</p> <p>Blouse: Halogen<br /> Skirt: Cleo Petite (thrifted)<br /> Fishnets: Hue<br /> Shoes: Clarks Artisan<br /> Watch: Gucci (thrifted)<br /> Handbag: Vintage Cartier (consignment) </p>
