Thanks Suz, Harmonica and Lisa! I think I'm going to LOVE wearing this blazer! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593649 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 20:26:45 +0000 Lisa 593649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely color blazer on you. And I like it paired with the black and white, very striking. Nice job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593590 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 19:11:32 +0000 harmonica 593590@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is totally YOU, so don't change a thing.

Obviously I have to get shopping! And I did take my Saras out for a spin today. </p> <p>So glad you had a great meet up with Dianthus! This is a fantastic, fun outfit. I am sorry the top is annoying. I wonder if there is a quick and easy fix. That fabric tape? But it might get a little sticky. Taking it off might pose problems. I can just hear your husband..."A sexy sticky-tape.." </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593490 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 17:27:27 +0000 Transcona Shannon 593490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Sona, Rae, MaryK, Brenda, Una, Parsley, Sveta, morethanbeige, Ana and Christieanne! Your comments are very kind.</p> <p>Rae - I can see me quickly falling in love with a strong coloured blazer. According to your recent rubric (I read on the other thread) a coloured blazer could work with your style provided it has the strong shoulder and structure you like.</p> <p>Una - I will always be a fan of black and white being the classic foundation of an outfit. It always makes me feel good.</p> <p>Ana - in my life, matchy-matchy is not a dirty word! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593471 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 17:14:53 +0000 christieanne 593471@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That top is so great under the new jacket - too bad it's a pain to wear because it's a great underpinning!<br /> Not too matchy matchy for me - love magenta jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593461 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 17:04:32 +0000 Ana 593461@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Shannon. This outfit is completely awesome! I love how "matchy" it is, with all the graphic, black and white on your top, shoes and bag, and all the stripes! I know that word has kind of a bad connotation, but you make it look very hip and purposeful. Love it! I hear you on the raw edges. I especially have this problem with knit cotton jersey and raw edges. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593457 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:59:42 +0000 morethanbeige 593457@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks so fantastic! And with that purse! OMG </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593453 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:56:24 +0000 Sveta 593453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, your outfits just getting better and better with every day!<br /> How lucky you are to be able to rock such a a strong color as in this jacket. Every thing in this outfit is perfect but I don't agree it is AGLO - not in my eyes anyway. I think it is perfectl streamlined and purely Shannon-like! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593440 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:45:33 +0000 Parsley 593440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My goodness, Shannon! This is just another fantastic outfit!<br /> The details really make it, IMO: the black &amp; white bag, the Docs, the striped lining of the jacket, the dots on your hose. All the little things add up to making an exceptional whole.</p> <p>Your new jacket looks great, too. That bright magenta looks super on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593399 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:01:31 +0000 catgirl 593399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful! Black + white + a strong color seems to be a go-to formula for you, and I love how it allows you to get so much use out of the Saras! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593397 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 15:58:28 +0000 qfbrenda 593397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, very snazy... and very YOU. Well done! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593392 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 15:53:34 +0000 MsMary 593392@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! To have my name mentioned in the same breath as you in this fabulous outfit is high praise indeed! I don't know how you keep getting fabber and fabber with each passing day, but you do! I LOVE this! I would totally wear it exactly. as. is. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593391 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 15:52:50 +0000 rae 593391@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't change a thing! Love it all - the magenta blazer is perfect for a cool spring day. I have many jackets, but only one colored blazer (orange). Now I think maybe they are a possible answer to my spring UWP topper quandry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593385 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 15:48:22 +0000 Sona 593385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>lovely. the shoes and bag give it that extra pizazz! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593378 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 15:38:24 +0000 Transcona Shannon 593378@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Celia - I'd be flattered to be jacket twins with you!</p> <p>Rita - oh my...I think my striped top and your striped skirt photoshopped together would be fab! But possibly cause vertigo for those who looked at it too long (lol)!</p> <p>Claire - my office light definitely shows the colours more truly in my clothing. I have a huge south facing window in my office so lots of natural light - plus it's a little later in the morning so no longer dark! And yes, I guess the top is worth fussing over a bit!</p> <p>Thanks Natalie, Carole and Jem! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593365 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 15:15:18 +0000 Anonymous 593365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon! I usually click on Angie's blog post first, but how could I with your bright magenta blazer vying for my attention?? The color looks richer in this photo than the ones you took at home. Gorgeous! I love the entire outfit and I'm sorry you have to fuss with your top occasionally, but I think it's worth it to look this fab! The hose, the skirt, that bag and the the Docs together? *plonk* You Look Fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593359 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 15:04:57 +0000 Jem 593359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's a great outfit! I'm glad you found your blazer, even though it's not green. The magenta is really pretty on you! It's great with this outfit, too!!! I know what you mean about those crazy layers. I bought a midi skirt with similar ruffles on it and they want to roll up, too. I think your top is worth the effort, though, it's fantastic! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593353 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:52:57 +0000 Carole 593353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolute perfection! I love this so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593335 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:38:32 +0000 modgrl 593335@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG Somebody photoshop our tops and bottoms together today!! I am wearing my pieced skirt!! How fun! I You look perfect from head to toe. Love those doc's and the purse together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593334 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:38:19 +0000 celia 593334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>:) I became very chummy with Jacob this year, although I haven't bought that much I enjoy browsing their collection and have several items on my wish list.<br /> I have seen the jacket you are saying but what attracts me most is the magenta color, I have been going back and forth considering if I should buy the jacket or the trench and at this point the trench is winning because I think I can get more use of it.We will see, maybe we'll be jacket twins </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593331 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:34:27 +0000 goldenpig 593331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, can you get any more fabulous! This is true Shannon style! I love everything about it--the tiered stripe top is perfect with the bright pink blazer and the Docs and black and white handbag are the perfect touch! </p> <p>Welcome back Kristin! And I can't wait to see that Shabby Apple skirt on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593329 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:32:00 +0000 Transcona Shannon 593329@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jean - a little of MaryK and Angie? Wow - that's quite the compliment! Thank you.</p> <p>Celia - didn't mean to buy your jacket (lol)! I've never bought anything from Jacob before and was quite pleased with the quality of their items. They also have this blazer in a sumptious dark blue/purple colour...just saying.</p> <p>Beth Ann - I have TONS of bracelets and watches and have no idea why the heck I didn't put one on this morning! Duh!</p> <p>Manidipa - I'll pass your message onto Kristin! And great minds think alike - I'm hoping this will work with my Shabby Apple skirt as well since there is a magenta colour in the vine in the pattern. It won't be ready until Monday, April 16th (my seamstress is quite backed up with graduation season around the corner). She's taking in the sides to narrow the width, shortening it by one inch and putting in a kick pleat in the back. I can hardly wait to get it back! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593327 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:26:39 +0000 ManidipaM 593327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tell Kristin we'd love to see more of her on the other end of the camera, too! :-D</p> <p>And you look TERRIFIC, Shannon! I see what you mean in terms of channeling MaryK, too. This is definitely an ALGo outfit, in the best possible way! LOVE the way the striped top, piped bag and colour-blocked Docs play off each other --- and even the blazer has a stripey lining! That colour is scrumptious on you, by the way. (Wonder if it would go with your --- hopefully now altered? --- bird-print skirt?) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593325 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:25:31 +0000 Beth Ann 593325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very smart, vibrant and crisp. This blazer will be a perfect addition to your wardrobe! BTW -- do you have any bracelets or watches that you usually wear. Now remember, I love doo-dads and gee-gaws, but I can see something strong and simple on your wrist in this ensemble! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593323 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:25:09 +0000 celia 593323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you look more perfect????That outfit is fabulous!You look fabulous!<br /> I am so glad you met another YLFer, it is always fun and people are everything they seem to be on the forum, kind, intelligent woman.<br /> You kind of bought my jacket though :)I have seen it at Jacob but haven't pulled the trigger and probably will by the trench-coat instead.That color is amazing.</p> <p>Once again, you look fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593320 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:21:42 +0000 greenglove 593320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wouldn't change a thing! Great look for you, I love the stripes and the bold color of the jacket. The bag and shoes echo the graphic qualities of the top. You look stylish and oh so fab! Looks like you are channeling both Mary K and Angie a bit! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-team-wear#post-593316 Wed, 11 Apr 2012 14:17:07 +0000 Transcona Shannon 593316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought this magenta coloured blazer on Monday when I went shopping with Dianthus (have I mentioned how enjoyable that was and what a sweetheart she is?). I love the bright cheery colour and slight masculine shape of the blazer. I’ve popped it over my VC tiered tee, black midi pencil skirt, small polka dot hose and Doc Sara oxfords. I feel like I’m kind of channeling MaryK in this ensemble! It’s quite cool here today so I figured this was a way to be warm enough while bringing a spring colour out to play.</p> <p>So how does this look to your eyes? Any changes you would make? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Comment on the VC tiered tee: I love the look of this tee but it drives me crazy! The ends of the tiers tend to want to roll so throughout the day (several times) you’ll find me smoothing my hands all of the top laying back down the tiers. I don’t regret the purchase but I would not buy anything tiered with raw edges again. My Cleo black/white tiered dress is far better as the ends of each tier are finished and heavier so they lay completely flat and don’t move.</p> <p>Blazer: Jacob<br /> Top: Vince Camuto<br /> Skirt: Taifun Collection (thrifted)<br /> Hose: Hue<br /> Shoes: Doc Sara oxfords<br /> Handbag: Danier (thrifted)</p> <p>P.S. My sweet Kristin is back from vacation so much better pics coming your way! </p>
