I've had these shoes for a couple of years now and they have been a fabulous neutral summer shoe. I now can't imagine my wardrobe without at least one nude/taupe shoe.</p> <p>Mochi - the simple silhouette of this outfit really pleased me as well so I appreciate that you commented on that.</p> <p>Beth Ann - when a combination gets suggested by another Fabber and it works, I always wonder why I never thought of it before. And I didn't think about peeking toes being more summery. Great point!</p> <p>Thanks Diane, Debbie and Carole :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983819 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 14:55:43 +0000 Carole 983819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>One word, GORGEOUS! The orange top is perfect with the skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983813 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 14:51:08 +0000 Beth Ann 983813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't you love it when a new combination emerges from the closet as a clear winner?&nbsp; All the better than other YLFers thought of it!&nbsp; That's the beauty of the forum.</p> <p>This is perfect for your fully-evolved summer work style and I like seeing the peeps rather than the pumps in July.&nbsp; They're a little more relaxed which suits the weave of the sweater, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983783 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 14:17:25 +0000 Debbie 983783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love tis looks. The accessories work well together and you look happy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983768 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 13:58:13 +0000 Mochi 983768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, heavenly awesomeness! Who would have thought to juxtapose those two colors, but they look made for each other. Earthy and bright. And a clean, simple silhouette. Of course the bag does its part by adding the lustre, texture and pattern. One of my favorites! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983764 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 13:56:07 +0000 Anonymous 983764@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This really works to my eye. It's a lovely colour combination. The accessories work well with the skirt and sweater too. It makes me happy to look at it, so win, win </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983753 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 13:49:45 +0000 Sara L. 983753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the orange top looks great like this.&nbsp; I tend to struggle with orange because I have lots of black in my closet and I'm worried I'll look like Halloween.&nbsp; I love those shoes and I may try looking for something similar for this fall.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983712 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 13:09:39 +0000 Transcona Shannon 983712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Carla - it's funny you mention the skirt length 'cause I wasn't wearing it very much the last while because it felt too short to me. A simple let down of the hem half an inch and now it feels just right!</p> <p>Sarah - unfortunately the waist is indeed too high on the skirt for a semi tuck, otherwise I'd be all over that.</p> <p>Ornella - doesn't it amaze you when people remember your individual wardrobe items? I have such a terrible memory that I'm never able to provide specific suggestions like that.</p> <p>Joy - thank you so much for the suggestion :)&nbsp;what should I wear tomorrow??? - lol!</p> <p>Astrid - I can never remember either. And then I feel kind of bad about it because I don't want anyone thinking it's because I don't pay attention. I just can't remember.</p> <p>Elizabeth, Eliza, Suz and Betti&nbsp;- thank you very much.</p> <p>Ceit - I think I would have preferred the ladylike vibe of the pumps - darned toe :(</p> <p>Claire - this bag was one of my best NAS purchases from last year. And do you think I should hire Shevia and Joy on an ongoing basis??? </p> <p></p> <p>ETA: janeabc - cross posted with you! "look so young" - ooooohhhhh, you just made my day :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983700 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:59:22 +0000 Anonymous 983700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This works really well, but the bag makes it 'WOW'! That is such a pretty, melon-y orange on my monitor. Lovely for summer! I'm so glad you hung on to the skirt and listened to your personal stylists. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983695 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:55:00 +0000 Betti 983695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this, it looks stunning on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983691 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:53:24 +0000 Anonymous 983691@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfect save for that skirt! It looks really good with that orange. I like your peeptoes, but the other pumps would be good too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983661 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 12:30:47 +0000 Suz 983661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks terrific, Shannon!

I'm always in awe when people remember specific items they can suggest, I can't keep track of who owns what at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983642 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 11:57:03 +0000 Anonymous 983642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW! That turned out fabulously. The reptile bag is perfect with that skirt and the shoes drool-worthy. I'm humbled that you tried the suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983632 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 11:42:57 +0000 Ornella 983632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those ladies know *your* wardrobe for sure :-)</p> <p>You look great Shannon. The pattern/textural interest of the bag seals it all.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983628 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 11:38:42 +0000 Sarah A 983628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! This is great. I read some where that orange works with any shade of brown and it sure does here! I am not sure if the skirt waist is too high for this... but I might consider a partial tuck. Super bag! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983623 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 11:31:06 +0000 Carla 983623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this outfit, Shannon! Your legs are so shapely and trim, and the skirt length and heel height ( and colour) are working for you. The bag is perfect.<br /> This is a very chic outfit. I can believe the happiness factor! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-thanks-to-shevia-joy#post-983621 Thu, 18 Jul 2013 11:24:44 +0000 Transcona Shannon 983621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The last time I wore this skirt, I had mentioned it was becoming an orphan. Shevia suggested I pair the skirt with a bright coloured solid top and taupe shoes and Joy further suggested my Cleo orange light knit sweater.</p> <p>Well those ladies seem to know a thing or two because I LOVE this combination!!! I paired my taupe knit pencil skirt with my orange light knit sweater but had to swap my taupe pointy toe pumps for my Boutique 9 laceless peep toe oxfords. I have a tiny sore on the top of my right big toe where the pumps touch and I knew the shoes would just irritate the heck out of it. But I think these shoes work as well.</p> <p>For my handbag, I went with my snakeskin satchel (waving to bag twin MaryK) and jewelry is a gold ring and watch.</p> <p>Happiness factor in this outfit is extremely high and I'm definitely going to keep the taupe skirt now. Thanks Shevia and Joy :)</p> <p>So what do you think? Does the combination look good to your eyes? Anything you would tweak? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Skirt &amp; sweater: Cleo Petite<br />Shoes: Boutique 9<br />Handbag: Elliott Lucca<br />Watch and ring: thrifted </p>
