You look perfectly put together, just as you do every day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808768 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:51:32 +0000 Transcona Shannon 808768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Charmian - yes, the red lip is to go with my purse - I didn't want the purse to be lonely - lol!</p> <p>Amy - these oxfords are one of my fave shoe purchases this year. Very comfortable.</p> <p>Tina - you are going to love your slouchy skinnies!</p> <p>Una - I definitely prefer these to the Gap BF's but I will say that the BF's were a great learning experience. It's like they were the "training wheels" for this style, you know? And strangely enough, these have helped me like the BF's more...it's a win-win!</p> <p>Thank you all for your lovely comments - always nice to know I'm not headed in the wrong direction! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808764 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:49:01 +0000 Sona 808764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am loving the outfit. every part of it-clothes and shoes itself. I just don't feel this bag with this outfit though. I realize the bow is sort of in juxtaposition to the menswear style but I am feeling one of your amazing clutches more with this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808726 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:27:51 +0000 catgirl 808726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, I feel like all your struggles with the Gap BFs really paid off, because you are styling these like a pro! How do you think they compare? You seem much more in love with these. Glad you are finding so many ways to wear them. PPW is going to be down to nothing soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808721 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:21:50 +0000 Vicki 808721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Shannon, do I LOVE the way your top plays off your shoes! You look spectacular and if I had that top, I'd copy you in a hot second. I also adore the way you've added the red lip color to accompany your cute handbag. Perfect and I wouldn't change a thing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808712 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:15:55 +0000 Tina.b 808712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a creative blend of pieces that work together so cohesively. The blazer gives you great shape up top, balancing the slouchy skinnies. Just lovely!</p> <p>I was looking for new jeans just after Christmas, and was interested in trying some new shapes. I've tried on so many boyfriend jeans and have never found them flattering on me. Same thing that day, they do me no favours. Then the store owner suggested slouchy skinnies, and I immediately thought of you. Tried them, loved them, bought them. No idea how to style them, but I'll be turning to you for inspiration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808702 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:03:20 +0000 Anonymous 808702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Coming back to say that I actually like those jeans. I really do. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808695 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 17:00:06 +0000 Amy 808695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it all, Shannon, but I'm really drooling over those Jeffrey Campbell shoes. They're TDF!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808678 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:44:40 +0000 Charmian 808678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the "tension" here in this outfit -- ladylike vs masculine, soft tee vs hard edge, etc. This definitely works! And ... are you deliberately choosing a bright lip to play off your purse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808659 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:21:21 +0000 annagybe 808659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808658 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 16:19:22 +0000 kimlee 808658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it, Shannon. You've mixed ladylike and menswear in a fun way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808613 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:22:26 +0000 Suz 808613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this, Shannon. The juxtaposition of the ladylike bag with the menswear shoes is a great touch! And you know i love me a gentle grey toned leopard! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808611 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 15:18:37 +0000 Anonymous 808611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am laughing! The only thing I would probably change for me, is to do a boot instead of the oxfords But that is mostly because I don't own a pair yet that work for me!</p> <p>I am going to try and recreate this look myself, Shannon, I like it so much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808589 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 14:51:01 +0000 Nadya 808589@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the slouchy, a little bit faded jeans against the refined wing tips! Another great outfit, Shannon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808581 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 14:39:45 +0000 Day Vies 808581@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the shoes, the tension between fitted and loose, and the juxtaposition of feminine and tough. Enjoy -- what a fun outfit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808575 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 14:35:05 +0000 Transcona Shannon 808575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ceit - it's so funny 'cause after I put it all together I thought "huh...I think I'm wearing something Ceit would like" - lol!</p> <p>Mochi - yep, same woman. I'm not sure what the heck happened but I'm all over trousers now. I think I just needed to find the ones that worked for me and stopped trying to cram myself into ones that look great on others, you know?</p> <p>Thanks Zap and Raisin! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808537 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 13:02:38 +0000 Mochi 808537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another winner. Is this the same woman who hated trousers so recently? Can't believe it. I love your shoes. I love your pinterest board, by the way. You really know what you like and it works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808533 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:57:59 +0000 Raisin 808533@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks really great Shannon. The shoes really go well with the shirt without being matchy-matchy. I can see why you love those jeans, they look great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-slightly-menswear-inspired#post-808527 Fri, 04 Jan 2013 12:40:03 +0000 Anonymous 808527@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look fantastic.

This pair is the one size up and I also have a pair that is two sizes larger than my regular size - I pick them up after work today from being hemmed just a wee bit more and will try those next week.</p> <p>I've paired the jeans with a couple of older items in my wardrobe - this v-neck animal print short sleeved silk tee and a charcoal herringbone blazer complete with elbow patches. Once I got that together I thought the outfit had a bit of a menswear vibe so went with that and added an old leather belt with metal studs and large gunmetal buckle and my three tone patent oxfords. I like how the cream in the oxfords picks up the cream in the tee and lightens the outfit a bit.</p> <p>Then for a ladylike juxtaposition, I added my black/red KS handbag and a strong red lip.</p> <p>Not sure this photographs as well as it looked to me in the mirror but I'm really pleased with this outfit and my happiness scale is right up there. </p> <p>What do you think? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome</p> <p>Blazer: Gap (thrifted and altered)<br /> Tee: Nygard<br /> Jeans: Canyon River Blues<br /> Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell<br /> Handbag: Kate Spade (thrifted)<br /> Belt: thrifted </p>
