I'm fortunate in that my work environment is on the more business casual side (denim only on Fridays though) so I'm able to wear something like this. And once I thought about it, I'm just as covered (if not more) as when I wear my black pencil skirt.</p> <p>Merwoman - you're so sweet This blouse was one of my favourite summer purchases last year and continues to be well loved!</p> <p>Lisa - aaaahhhhh you have a keen eye and caught the cobalt stripe in the bag. Isn't is fab?</p> <p>Mochi - wow! I don't think I've ever been called "mod and gamine" before - thank you!</p> <p>Soobee - uh oh...look out Mr. Soobee...let's hope it's the shopping spree!</p> <p>Kelly - oh trust me, I have BAD days.</p> <p>Angie - you are sweet and sensitive all rolled into one beautiful package :)</p> <p>It's funny because I actually haven't lost too much more weight but I'm losing inches thanks to the workouts. And it's all about getting into shape, not getting skinny so I'm quite happy with the results so far. Thank you all for your sweet comments. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silky-cobalt#post-1015308 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 00:26:29 +0000 Angie 1015308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Killer terrific. Your weight loss is very noticeable, and I highly commend your efforts. Not that you didn't look fabulous before. Just want to be sensitive to the whole of you - whether there is less or more to love. </p> <p>Go Team Black Face Watch. So retro and fab. I love my new back face watch and wear it all the time. Great find, Shannon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silky-cobalt#post-1015292 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 00:17:37 +0000 Anonymous 1015292@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not everyone could wear this outfit but it looks fabulous on you.

I must say that I feel rather sassy today :)</p> <p>Shevia - I expect some reciprocal inspiration from&nbsp;<i>your</i> silky shorts outfits, ok? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silky-cobalt#post-1014603 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 12:27:06 +0000 Jaime 1014603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As was hoping you are providing excellent ideas for wearing my new silky shorts. And I happen to have a gap striped sweater in exactly those colors. Oh, great outfit in case that wasn't clear! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silky-cobalt#post-1014600 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 12:20:22 +0000 Suz 1014600@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit, Shannon, and I love the watch!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silky-cobalt#post-1014571 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:32:29 +0000 Deborah 1014571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Shannon:) &nbsp;I love this outfit. &nbsp;The black and cobalt combo is very attractive on you and I know I have mentioned in previous posts how much I like those shorts.... well I am liking them more and more;) &nbsp;You are looking very trim and there is a streamlined effect to the top that really works. </p> <p></p> <p>And love the watch :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silky-cobalt#post-1014570 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:31:59 +0000 Anonymous 1014570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great, Shannon! That top is magically slimming (and is genius at highlighting your hard work!).</p> <p>Love the new watch. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-silky-cobalt#post-1014564 Tue, 27 Aug 2013 11:28:42 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1014564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another scorching hot day today - in fact this entire week is over +30 Celcius with high humidity so that the temperature feels anywhere between +38 - +41 Celcius. Uggggghhh...</p> <p>So what does a gal wear to work when it's that hot - silky shorts! Today I paired my thrifted black silky shorts with my black and cobalt silky tee. I added a black leather belt and a semi tuck. For shoes I chose my trusty black sandals and picked my cobalt/yellow clutch for my handbag. A gold watch and wedding band round out the outfit.</p> <p>This outfit is very comfortable, nothing too restrictive and still appropriate for my business casual office. What do you think? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Bonus pics of the Fossil rose gold and black watch that came in the mail yesterday. I've posted a couple of times in the past 6 months about looking for a rose gold watch but I wanted something different. While hubby was searching on eBay for these particular photography umbrellas he is after, he spotted this one - it was brand new with the tags and at half the price of full retail. He said to buy and I did! I need to have a link removed so am not wearing it today but wanted to show it to you. I think it's ironic that this watch has a black face which Angie just posted about yesterday in her second blog post with 6 fab finds.</p> <p>Shorts: Baby Phat (thrifted)<br />Top: Attitude by Jay Manuel<br />Sandals: Clarks<br />Clutch: Trouve<br />Watch: thrifted </p>
