You came up with a great outfit and I LOVE the Kelly bag!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885956 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:59:14 +0000 Aida 885956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Perfectly cute and perfect for transitional spring! The colors in your tee are going to play really nicely with all of your spring and summer things. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885675 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 19:05:29 +0000 kellygirl 885675@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gosh, this is awesome, Shannon! I think you are onto something with that fab graphic tee. Of course, you are making me wonder how much you spent on it --lol! Definitely more fun than a plain tee and it looks fab under the blazer. Glad to share my name with such a stylish handbag! (So glad she is not a Kellie or a Kelli!)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885656 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 18:48:34 +0000 Sona 885656@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ love the tee witht his. fab, fab friday outfit! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885553 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 17:07:11 +0000 Angie 885553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It virtually looks black :).

Get us out of the deep freeze!<br /><br />Dianthus - I've looked at so many graphic tees that I wouldn't wear over the age of 16. Maybe it helped that this one was found in a "mature woman's" store - lol!<br /><br />MaryK - sorry to make you burst. It was pure dumb luck!<br /><br />Angie - thank you! Just to clarify, the blazer is actually navy not black.&nbsp;<br /><br />Thank you all so much for your lovely comments.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885529 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 16:33:58 +0000 Angie 885529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You wear this look SO well! That's a fabulous tee and it's stunning under the black blazer. The blue and grey bits are picked up by the colours in your hair. Attractive https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885523 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 16:30:12 +0000 cheryle (Dianthus) 885523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I find many graphic t's are very young looking but this one is really nice.&nbsp; I love the colors and soft pattern.&nbsp; I also like the green bag with the blue/green of the t.&nbsp; Very nice all around.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885504 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 16:13:54 +0000 MsMary 885504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Shannon, you rock a graphic tee like nobody's business! <br /><br />And that bag! I swear, I was reading your post and saying to myself, "If she thrifted that amazing green bag, I am going to burst with envy!!" <br /><br />*burst* https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885499 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 16:11:37 +0000 Carole 885499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fun and fantastic outfit, but that bag! good heavens how do you score such lovelies when thrifting?!?!? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885480 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:41:40 +0000 Beth Ann 885480@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wonderful new selections -- the tee and the jacket.&nbsp; This look is great for denim Fridays at work.&nbsp; It's relaxed and just a little playful, but also work ready and top of the line --- quality and fit.<br /><br />Now.&nbsp; If we could just get out of the deep freeze!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885475 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:36:02 +0000 rae 885475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Gorgeous! I love how the printed tee works like a shell. And the navy blazer is perfect - looks like you have always owned it, if that makes sense. Like it totally fits into your wardrobe with no effort. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885446 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 15:07:49 +0000 texstyle 885446@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Very nice new tee - if I can even call it that.&nbsp; I have been on the lookout for something similar too.&nbsp; I think you scored with the navy blazer and&nbsp;the green accent of your bag makes it interesting and fresh for spring.&nbsp; Love this outfit on you! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885434 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 14:47:07 +0000 nancylee 885434@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I really love this whole outfit, Shannon...and that printed tee is fabulous! &nbsp;You always give me something new to consider..whether it's a new way to&nbsp;combine the pieces you already own, or trying a new trend. &nbsp;Fab! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885431 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 14:40:51 +0000 Glory 885431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Like this tee so much I have investigated. The forum enables me way too much. I think it is perfect for work and weekends. You mention is was a bit pricey for a t but I think you will get lots of wear out of it which means it is worth several of the other t's.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885427 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 14:37:29 +0000 Transcona Shannon 885427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ *clapping hands*<br /><br />So glad you all like my new tee - it is a bit more special than just a regular tee, isn't it?<br /><br />Shevia - I will definitely be wearing it without a topper once the warm weather arrives. I can also see it over a pencil skirt for a de-bomshelling look, with any pair of jeans, with my white jeans, etc.<br /><br />Krista - don't you hate it when those last minute meetings squash your casual Friday look?<br /><br />Raisin - when I was paying for the tee, I kept thinking "I could buy 2 or 3 tees at another store for this price", but would I want to wear them as much?<br /><br />This green handbag is one of my best thrift scores ever - this will be the second spring/summer season I've used it and it's still going strong. Love the color and shape. Sorry Ingunn - you won't be getting it any time soon - lol! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885408 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 14:19:23 +0000 Ingunn 885408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love how the t-shirt is modern and the bag and blazer adds structure. You look great! Please send your gorgeous bag to me when you are tired of it https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885343 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 13:39:29 +0000 Sara L. 885343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love graphic tees under blazers!&nbsp;&nbsp;The boots cuts and boots look great and I love the bright green bag.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885341 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 13:38:34 +0000 hedgiehog 885341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ First, let me say I LOVE the bag. This is a really great outfit. I like your new tee, but to my eye it looks nicer than a tee. The navy blazer pulls it all together perfectly. Great way to start Spring. YLF! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885319 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 13:18:34 +0000 Astrid 885319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I LOVE this. I would wear it just like that myself. I love the bootcuts for a change, the fierce docs, the blazer over the 'spring' tee. And of course the color of your handbag, it's great. You look fab! <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885271 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 12:22:22 +0000 Raisin 885271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I love your new tee! &nbsp;The colors are gorgeous. &nbsp;Tees are getting pricey these days aren't they? &nbsp;Seems like $50 for one is no big deal now, and many are up to $100! &nbsp;But you picked a great one! &nbsp;I love it with the jeans and blazer. &nbsp;Perfect transition to Spring. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885258 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:53:12 +0000 Anonymous 885258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ *Something borrowed and something blue* Well you do have a bit of blue on today:) <br />Anyway, I digress! i like your thinking with regards to spending more on something you will wear the heck out of and as Deborah said that looks so much more than an ordinary tee. I really like this friday look on you and the colour scheme is lovely and spring-like, fab! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885257 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:52:18 +0000 Krista 885257@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love this - so fab! I am living vicariously through you today as I had planned to wear something similar but a last minute important meeting at "The Board Office" has squashed that plan. &nbsp;I don't have the guts to wear jeans in front of my Superintendent yet..... even if it is Friday! ;)<br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885254 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:48:13 +0000 Anonymous 885254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Love this -- I hit upon this as one of my spring uniforms too I love the graphic T with the blazer. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885253 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:47:05 +0000 Deborah 885253@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Lovely. &nbsp;That top doesn't look like a tee, it looks much "nicer" than a tee if you know what I mean.the navy blazer was quite a score...I'm on the look out for&nbsp;one as well. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885251 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:46:31 +0000 Jaime 885251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Working backwards I love the green bag! The t-shirt looks great - will you wear it without a jacket when it is warmer? I think you are absolutely right to buy something you love than a bunch of cheaper and lesser substitutes. And great find with the jacket! Navy excellent! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-something-old-something-new#post-885249 Fri, 22 Mar 2013 11:37:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 885249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I've been looking for a loose fitting tee with some sort of graphic print on it with white as the background colour to help me transition into spring/summer - something I could wear on its own with jeans (denim and white) or with pencil skirts and blazers for work. I found this lovely polyester blend tee last night at Laura Petite that fit the bill. I love its soft fabrication and drape and its slight nod to tie-dye. BTW I have never spent this much on a t-shirt but am learning that if it is "the one" for me, I will wear the heck out of it and therefore is worth the dollar amount.<br /><br />I popped on the tee this morning and paired it with my Kut from the Kloth baby bootcut jeans. I always feel tall when I wear these jeans! On top of that, I've added a newly thrifted navy boyfriend blazer. I've been looking for a navy blazer since last summer for both dressy and casual wear and found this last night at Value Village. It's exactly what I was looking for, is a petite cut and fits perfectly.&nbsp;<br /><br />For footwear, I've got on my trusty Doc Marcies and it was time to bring out my green handbag (known as Kelly) for spring.<br /><br />I like how this all works together - what do you think? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.<br /><br />Blazer: Ricki's (thrifted)<br />Tee: Laura Petite<br />Jeans: Kut from the Kloth<br />Boots: Doc Martens<br />Handbag: Cleo (thrifted)<br />Watch: Calvin Klein (thrifted)
