There is something delicious about wearing comfy cute shoes in the office. It feels like a treat.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1289294 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 14:16:27 +0000 Neel 1289294@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg!!

These shoes probably do skew towards the espadrille style paired with summer florals.</p> <p>Rachy - for me, it was definitely the shoes not looking like athletic sneakers that made this feel right. Would love to see your rendition!</p> <p>Thanks all - I'll be wearing this outfit again </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1288454 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 18:03:30 +0000 rachylou 1288454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. Food for thought.

I opened the post with some trepidation.</p> <p>I wonder if my eye sees the Van's, in this color and style, and also combined with your brilliant use of floral, as almost an espadrille. Definitely does not look like the lunch-hour power-walkers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1288372 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 16:00:52 +0000 catgirl 1288372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY!

I feel really good in this and have already had a couple of compliments about the outfit.</p> <p>I think this works for me personally because of the Vans, as you've noted. I'm pretty sure I would not enjoy the outfit as much with a true athletic sneaker or something with big laces, etc. </p> <p>Mona, spoff, Deborah - maybe you'll give the sneaks with dress a go???</p> <p>Suz - I will fully admit that this is the happiest I have been with my closet - EVER! I've edited, edited, edited and worked at finding what is right for my body and lifestyle. I have less in my closet than I have in years and rotate my items with much more frequency but I truly enjoy getting up in the morning and getting dressed. I'm sorry the EF dress didn't work for you (for once my ample curves worked in my favor!) but you can wear J Crew and I can't - so back at ya with sibling jealousy - lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1288212 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 12:57:40 +0000 Diana 1288212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! You look amazing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1288198 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 12:25:27 +0000 Suz 1288198@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha!! Should have known you would nail this as well as you nail everything else you try! This is fabulous fun, Shannon. Just terrific.&nbsp;</p> <p>Your closet has always been a fab one. But you have now edited and curated it &nbsp;so that it's even more fab.&nbsp;</p> <p>As to the EF dress, I am jealous as a sibling that I can't wear it. Love it, love the idea of it, and love the look of it. It's the perfect "everything" dress.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1288191 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 12:16:20 +0000 Thistle 1288191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous. I think you nailed the look for sneakers in the office! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1288187 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 12:13:03 +0000 Aquamarine 1288187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This totally works for me and I think it's the Vans. I have had a hard time with this look using running shoes because it reminds me too much of my work/commuter days when we all wore sneaks but then changed into real shoes at the office. But the Vans are so sleek and the color blends seamlessly with your outfit. Nice job with this trend! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1288176 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 11:55:30 +0000 Jaime 1288176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are the EF lookbook as far as I a concerned! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1288174 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 11:55:01 +0000 Deborah 1288174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I'm inspired! I still can't bring myself to do the dressy sneaks outfit but now that I have seen this I may just give it a try;). </p> <p>This is cool! I love how the vans have colour and they are not a true athletic shoe )I haven't quite come to that party yet). Nice styling and you look gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1288167 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 11:37:04 +0000 Ledonna N. 1288167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely and the bomber is um "the bomb". </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1288164 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 11:31:42 +0000 spoff 1288164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well Shannon, you just healed my poision eye for the sporty luxe look. It's one trend I swore up and down was not for me and there you are looking so fantastic in it .Well done </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1288162 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 11:29:02 +0000 Mona 1288162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, first Neel and now you. Both of you have totally shaken my belief about dresses and sneanks. Love this outfit, Shannon! The floral jacket and bright sneaks take a plain black dress from boring to awesome. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1288159 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 11:25:36 +0000 Anonymous 1288159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, this is cute, Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-sneakers-with-a-dress-for-the-office#post-1288158 Thu, 26 Jun 2014 11:22:20 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1288158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This could also have been titled something like "Sporty for the Office".</p> <p>When I saw Angie's blog post about sneakers with a skirt or dress, I wondered if there was a way this could be worn for work. Then I thought of my pinky-red Vans. I prefer the look using a sneaker without laces - a sleeker, slip on style.</p> <p>So today's outfit started out with my Vans - it's fun starting an outfit with footwear, don't you think? I then chose my EF black drape front dress. The beauty of this dress is how easily it can be dressed up or down. It is unbelievably versatile. On top of the dress, I added my floral silky bomber jacket - adding a bit of sporty luxe to the outfit. Accessories are simple with my black leather handbag (I actually would have preferred my sleek black patent clutch but needed a larger bag today), silver wedding band and my purple/clear specs.</p> <p>Happiness scale? Off the charts! I love how this is sporty but feminine and in my office, still very appropriate. Would love to know what you think of this outfit. As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Bomber: Smart Set<br />Dress: Eileen Fisher<br />Shoes: Vans<br />Handbag: Danier Leather </p>
