And the Birks are cute.</p> <p>I do summer black occasionally, but I like to pair it with white. But I don't have a LBD either, so I don't even have anything to wear&nbsp;that is all black, ha.&nbsp;</p> <p>I always admire your lipstick, Shannon. You do such a beautiful job with it and pick such flattering colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-black-a-bold-red-lip#post-1306834 Fri, 18 Jul 2014 02:58:57 +0000 karymk 1306834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I love summer black!

How do you take your pics? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-black-a-bold-red-lip#post-1306230 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 17:35:12 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1306230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Elizabeth - are you wearing "our" dress today? :)</p> <p>Sara - I agree that the 3/4 length sleeve (they're actually full length just scrunched up a bit) reads cooler weather, but my office A/C is positive frigid so warmth was required today. </p> <p>AviaMariah - my feet are VERY happy today!</p> <p>Thanks ladies - feeling kinda "snappy" if I do say so myself. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-black-a-bold-red-lip#post-1306135 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:45:55 +0000 suzyq 1306135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great outfit! &nbsp;And I love your glasses. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-black-a-bold-red-lip#post-1306113 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:23:28 +0000 AviaMariah 1306113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for reminding me to go put lipstick on! &nbsp;I so love this with the birks. &nbsp;Amazing how one little change can make an outfit look so current and fun. &nbsp;Happy feet for you today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-black-a-bold-red-lip#post-1306112 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:22:55 +0000 Nebraskim 1306112@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh. Love the red lip. So chic. I have never in my life worn lipstick or a colorful lip. Makes me feel like a clown (but then, I never wear any makeup at all....) but I adore the look on other people. So sophisticated and especially nice with this outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-black-a-bold-red-lip#post-1306103 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:20:06 +0000 Sara L. 1306103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great!&nbsp; It doesn't look particularly summery to me but it's not because of the black, it's the 3/4 length sleeves.&nbsp; I associate that sleeve length with fall and spring (between seasons).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-summer-black-a-bold-red-lip#post-1306092 Thu, 17 Jul 2014 15:06:38 +0000 Neel 1306092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous shade of lipstick on you Shannon!

This is, for my body type and style, THE PERFECT DRESS! And because I am not seasonally biased about wearing the colour black (I know some who don't like to wear it in summer) I decided to go all black in my outfit today. I popped on my black EF open front cardigan over top the dress (I realize it's difficult to see black layers in a picture) - love how they layer so perfectly.&nbsp;</p> <p>For footwear, I went with my black and white polka dot Birks and chose my black with gold hardware leather handbag. Then for a pop of colour, I chose my red specs and a bold red lip (waving at you Mo!). To finish off the outfit, I went with my gold watch and wedding band.</p> <p>This is the kind of ease and simplicity I've been craving lately and this outfit is the perfect example of where I want to be and continue to go in my style journey.</p> <p>What do you think? Does all black in summer speak to you or do you consider it more of a fall/winter colour? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Dress &amp; cardigan: Eileen Fisher (both from eBay)<br />Sandals: Birkenstock Papillio<br />Handbag: Danier Leather<br />Watch: thrifted </p>
