Quite different too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1473074 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 09:55:08 +0000 Elizabeth P 1473074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, strange. I know I commented on this because my outfit was very similar when I saw it... Only I was in bootcut jeans and waterproof, warm, winter booties :(. Just wanted to echo my love for this, esp your proportions. Totally nailed this one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1473059 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 06:29:42 +0000 Lyn D. 1473059@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving your booties too Shannon, Great outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1473027 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 03:25:40 +0000 Sara L. 1473027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great look! I love the booties. I have a similar pair of black ones and I love the idea of nude ones but I can't decide if they'll get enough wear once the weather warms up. I bought the black ones in the fall so don't have any history with them in the summer. I'm really loving the look on you though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1473026 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 03:21:32 +0000 Anonymous 1473026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the architectural simplicity and structure that your top gives this outfit. It is a nice change from soft draped pieces. The blouse thingy is a Find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1473023 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 03:12:03 +0000 Deborah 1473023@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab outfit Shannon! And thanks for the inspiration. &nbsp;There is just something about simplicity that you cannot beat. &nbsp;This is elegant, modern, infact it ticks all my style boxes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1473013 Sun, 12 Apr 2015 02:44:54 +0000 dashielle (Ann) 1473013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently purchased a similar pair of booties due to my love for the black pair that are workhorses in warmer weather, and am taking note of this simplicity that you have so perfectly rendered. You've inspired Deb and you both sucked me in...I hope to do you proud off to make a virtual outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1472358 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 18:00:47 +0000 Keturah 1472358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I typically am not much for the peep toe, stack heel booties. They are too 90s to my eye. BUT... I love them on you! I love how simple your outfits are. They are simple, but not too stark or urban. Just...chic and sleek!&nbsp;</p> <p>mwahs and love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1472347 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 17:37:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1472347@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Una - every once in a while I feel a pull toward my retro loving side but I find now that I can incorporate that in small doses and still maintain the simplicity side I'm wanting to develop.</p> <p>Overall I'm looking to have outfits that are simple overall but where each element fits perfectly, the outfit overall has an element of edge (usually my footwear), feminine but not girl (if that makes sense), comfortable but not sloppy and pairs elements of tailored/slim fitting and fluidity, but not voluminous. I'm still madly in love with Eileen Fisher clothing and style so will continue to wear and purchase her items as I adore the quality, comfort, and ease but will not be looking for her oversized type of things - more like slim leg trousers with a drapey tank and one of my structured toppers, that sort of thing. Does that make sense? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1472340 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 17:12:41 +0000 catgirl 1472340@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the direction I've been headed too, Shannon, so of course I love it.&nbsp; My only challenge is that when I feel like stepping it up, my shadow style comes out and I have nothing flamboyant or statement-y anymore!&nbsp; The Era challenge really brought out this fact for me.&nbsp; This duality is a constant push-pull for me, between my UWP/RATE side, which tends toward simple&nbsp;distressed edge, and my Indian&nbsp;love of OTT color and print.&nbsp; Are you finding this at all? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1472300 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 16:26:10 +0000 Anonymous 1472300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love!

My legs don't look short in this outfit which is interesting. I'm thinking it has to do with the color of the booties matching my skin tone quite well but I'm not sure.</p> <p>dakotacheryl - thank you :)</p> <p>Suz - it's going to be +10 today and it's dry so warm enough in my world to break out peep toes. Aren't these oh so comfy? I'm still thinking on getting the black too but now that I have my ankle strap pointy toe pumps, I'm not sure I could justify the need. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1472143 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 12:24:49 +0000 Suz 1472143@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous look on you, Shannon! Just gorgeous. Love those booties and am jealous you can wear them. (It's still way too cold to do that here...) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1472135 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 12:11:12 +0000 dakotacheryl 1472135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this Shannon...great outfit, and you look fabulous in it !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1472120 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 11:28:54 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 1472120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes it really does work. &nbsp;It is interesting because a cropped pant with a horizontal line should be leg shortening in theory but to my eye, this outfit is having the opposite effect. &nbsp;Very nice silhouette and proportion Shannon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-simplicity-1#post-1472119 Fri, 10 Apr 2015 11:19:16 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1472119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm loving simple outfits these days - good fits, less layering, that sort of thing. And today's outfit is going to be one of my favourite silhouettes this spring/summer - fluid over slim.</p> <p>My outfit started with my slim leg dark wash jeans. I rolled the jeans to showcase the new camel coloured peep toe booties. I chose my black asymmetrical drapey black blouse thingy (with black cami underneath for modesty). My citron handbag adds a pop of colour and some visual interest with texture. And then I finished off the outfit with my silver/taupe wrap watch, silver ring, red specs and red lips.</p> <p>So what do you think? Does it work? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Blouse thingy: Smart Set<br />Jeans: Wit &amp; Wisdom<br />Shoes: Steve Madden<br />Handbag: Sergio Ferretti<br />Watch: Fossil (eBay) </p>
