You look polished and amazing in the VC top (mine's red and black) and how cool your black separates work so well together. Love Sona's teal touch with it. P.S. You are a lot braver than I am or I need to reinvigorate my social calendar as I have yet to wear my body-con stripes out. This helps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer/page/2#post-795823 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 08:20:34 +0000 CocoLion 795823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very pretty and flattering. You look really good in black, I'm jealous. I think I've pointed that out, right (the looking good in black, not the envy part)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer/page/2#post-795815 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 07:37:58 +0000 christieanne 795815@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fantastic non-suit Suit! You could go anywhere in that outfit and simply fit right in! Lovely color for you and the purse with top is too perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795798 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 06:18:22 +0000 Deborah 795798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stunning I it's simplicity! I naive been waiting to see this top:). You really should wear this more often. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795778 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 05:24:27 +0000 MsLuna 795778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely as always, Shannon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795694 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 02:54:19 +0000 Suz 795694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, just made it back here now to continue this conversation. </p> <p>I think I share some of your concerns, that certain retro or vintage items might simply make me appear dated vs. funky. I also agree that I will always love some vintage items, and other new items that are vintage inspired. My black crepe jacket, even though consigned is not truly vintage. But with its 3 button stance and shawl collar and pleats it seems to have a vintage vibe. Well, I don't care - I love it. I love how it looks on me, and I love it in itself. I will only get rid of it when a much better replacement comes along or when it wears out. </p> <p>Hmmm. It will be interesting to see where we both take this balance. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795660 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 02:16:08 +0000 Atlantia 795660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, this is great. The stripes are so flattering, and the colors are great. I love that your blacks wound up matching, because this is a great suit look. And, of course, your skill with clutch matching is fantastic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795650 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 02:05:21 +0000 Sarah A 795650@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The top is to die for and i like the suit like pairing matching the jacket and pant color. Simple.... lovely! Your awesome clutch takes this look to the next level </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795604 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 01:02:45 +0000 catgirl 795604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you look amazing! I see nothing overly-bodycon about the top - it's just a beautiful fit. My friend tried on the same top yesterday but was too cheap to buy it even on sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795596 Fri, 14 Dec 2012 00:56:12 +0000 Transcona Shannon 795596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Carole - isn't it amazing how well the clutch and top work together?</p> <p>Rita - one day you will definitely ROCK the daytime clutch! "Long and lean" - like music to my ears - lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795348 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 19:20:37 +0000 modgrl 795348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look so long and lean in this outfit! I love it on you. These pieces do feel really fresh, especially with the day time clutch. I look forward to the time when I don't have to carry my life around with me and can actually sport a day time clutch! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795293 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 17:56:48 +0000 Carole 795293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Does it work! And how! The top and clutch were made for each other. You look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795289 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 17:50:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 795289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure where the shift is coming from either Suz - for me, part of it relates to the "fuss factor" as you call it. I'm enjoying a cleaner look with less pieces on so that there is greater ease of movement, no "over heating", and it makes me feel more powerful in a strange way. I also find this new trend to be more figure flattering which is becoming more important to me. </p> <p>I think there is a danger with retro/vintage looking like a costume and as I'm getting older, I worry more about that. I don't want it to look like I'm actually wearing MY old clothes because I'm now old enough to have worn some of those pieces the first time around - does that make any sense?</p> <p>Having said that there are still some retro pieces I will always keep and wear/use: my red polka dot silk jacket and my grey vintage patent leather handbag to name a few. These can be incorporated into a modern outfit and will still work IMO. Plus - I just love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795264 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 17:20:56 +0000 Suz 795264@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you look fab!</p> <p>And I was going to say exactly the same thing Angie did - you are moving from retro to more modern. </p> <p>Guess what? So am I. Is this a function of seeing so many of Angie's great outfits? I wonder. Or is it just tiring of some of the thrift "failures." I really don't know in my case, but I am disenchanted with my more retro pieces (at least many of them.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795260 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 17:17:52 +0000 Transcona Shannon 795260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ornella - that's quite the challenge! It's been sitting because at my current weight, I did not think it was completely flattering worn on its own (a little too much "exposure" if you know what I mean). However, I decided I'm okay with it as long as there's a topper - so with this blazer, or my black leather jacket or even my black vest or denim jacket. Just not on its own - not yet anyway.</p> <p>Thanks Sveta - I agree the clutch is just perfect with this - thanks to Sona!</p> <p>Thanks Tina! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795239 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 17:01:32 +0000 Ornella 795239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excuse me for asking, buy why on Earth was this divine top rotting in your wardrobe until now? I now give you "Wear this once a week" challenge to make up for the time lost. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795231 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 16:48:56 +0000 Tina.b 795231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit is such a perfect fit. The shape of that blazer is just wonderful. And the teal, love! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795201 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:52:45 +0000 Sveta 795201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is amazing! Suprisingly I like teal and black together and that clutch is just a cherry on top of a very delishious outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795181 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:22:48 +0000 Transcona Shannon 795181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very interesting...I think I commented on that in my outfit post with the green tweed jacket and that is why I questioned keeping it because I wasn't sure that style was still "my" style.</p> <p>I also recently re-thrifted that winter white 3/4 sleeve swing jacket/blazer that I had because it just didn't feel like me anymore and I had absolutely no desire to ever wear it again.</p> <p>Hmmmm.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795179 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:20:16 +0000 Angie 795179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You're moving away from Retro and adding in more Modern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795175 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:16:53 +0000 Transcona Shannon 795175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - may I ask "how" you see my style evolving? where do you think it's going?</p> <p>Thanks all for your sweet comments! I also tried my black vest instead of the blazer and think it will work as well as another way to show off the top without feeling self conscious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795171 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:09:46 +0000 Angie 795171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#4 is KILLER</p> <p>Your style is evolving :)</p> <p>Keep warm!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795164 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:02:31 +0000 Sara L. 795164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the top with the blazer! It seems like the perfect way to wear the top since it makes you a little self conscious. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795163 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 15:02:11 +0000 Raisin 795163@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't believe you're self conscious about that top, it's fab! I love this outfit, probably one of my favorite of yours! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795148 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:46:46 +0000 Amy 795148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You knocked it out of the ballpark! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795117 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:24:51 +0000 Beth Ann 795117@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gorgeous! Simple, with a great silhouette and perfect fits. Very flattering, and the bracelet is a perfect bit of bling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795107 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 14:16:28 +0000 Emily 795107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fab, Shannon! The jacket looks like a perfect fit and the top is gorgeous, I hope you wear it often. I love the pattern mixing with the zig-zag top and snakeskin clutch. I bet the top and jacket would look good with white trousers/jeans in spring... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795099 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 13:58:41 +0000 Jaime 795099@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking good! I can totally see this with the Jeffrey Campbell shoes but I hate to be a horrible enabler...love what you are doing with the clutches also! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vc-banded-tee-leather-collared-blazer#post-795069 Thu, 13 Dec 2012 13:34:34 +0000 missvee 795069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so clean and simple and yet so flattering. Is this the way you think your style is heading? You've got colour and texture and pattern, but nothing shouts look at me. I like it! </p>
