It's like jewelry for your pants!</p> <p>Joy - I saw MaryK's outfit - too funny!</p> <p>Suz - you already did this the other day with your column of white and your fab blue floral blazer. So maybe I'm copying you???</p> <p>lyn67 - thank you sweetie :)</p> <p>LMFLMF - welcome Laura!</p> <p>Asingh - interesting comment about retro vs vintage. Does the fact that the jacket is actually from the late 1960's (originally had a matching skirt) make it vintage? I'm thinking the word "retro" refers to how something looks or is styled whereas the word "vintage" refers to the actual date of when it was made. What do you think?</p> <p>I'm seeing lots of love for these loafers. I will be honest in that although I adored the look of them right out of the box, I wasn't entirely sure they were ME or looked good on me. But now that I've worn them quite a bit, I am completely smitten with them both in style and in comfort. Look at that...you CAN teach an old dog new tricks after all - lol!</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vintage-polka-dots#post-960890 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:46:10 +0000 Asingh 960890@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's such a cute jacket, Shannon! I find it more retro than vintage. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-vintage-polka-dots#post-960875 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 15:20:05 +0000 Glory 960875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fab outfit Shannon!

I am really falling in love with oxfords I'm kinda late to it, but they've grown on me and they really make this look, in my opinion.

I usually wear this jacket buttoned up as I adore the peplum effect when buttoned, but today I decided to wear it open in a more "kimono-esque" fashion. This also allows me to do my column of colour for a lengthening effect. My column of colour today is all white with my white BF jeans, wide white leather belt and a slightly oversized white tee. Although I'm still on the hunt for the&nbsp;<i>perfect</i> slouchy white tee, this one will certainly do in the meantime.</p> <p>I've finished off the outfit with my light cream satchel, bone laser cut oxfords and white watch. Again, there are a few shades of white, cream and bone in the same outfit.</p> <p>What do you think? Is the vintage jacket working in a modern way? How are the proportions? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.</p> <p>Jacket: vintage<br />Tee: Joe Fresh<br />Jeans: Jessica Simpson<br />Belt: Danier Leather<br />Handbag: Danier Leather<br />Watch: thrifted </p>
