WIW 9/10: Sleeveless Tops Week, Day One -- Black and white and red

Thanks, cjh, for inspiring this challenge! I got this top at the recent YLF swap and hadn't taken it out of the closet before today! It's still ridiculously hot so I am still sporting a white jacket, but the black pants are my homage to fall. The top is a little bare for the office but the a/c is frigid and I don't anticipate taking the jacket off.

Black and white tank: White House Black Market via swap
White jacket: NYC & Co.
Black pants: Ann Taylor
Black and white t-straps: t.u.k.
Red tote: Dooney & Bourke via eBay

I haven't been wearing necklaces much lately, but this neckline felt a little bare for work so I filled it in with a delicate silver necklace I got from an online flash site some time ago. And although I am generally kind of over the pop-of-color-red-bag thing, I like it in this outfit because of the little bit of red in the shoes.

Thanks for looking. I always appreciate your comments!

Great outfit! I've been meaning to wear something similar but my tank has spaghetti straps and I will definitely need to wear the jacket all day. It was in the 90's still last week although it's only supposed to be mid-80's this week, so there's hope for fall and jacket wearing weather in the near future.

Gorgeous as ever, love those killer shoes and pop of red in your DB bag. Cool as a cucumber!

Great nod to Fall with a foot still in summer. I'm always sad when shoes have a fab but hidden lining color, so good job saving the day with your red bag. You have great arms.

You look beautiful! Great job on taking the challenge by wearing something new! I also love the shoes - wow.

I did wear sleeveless for the challenge, and I did take photos this a.m., but so busy at work lately (I work for an election authority) that I'll have to wait to post them later this evening.

Stunning as always, Mary K. The pattern on the top is fun and th shoes are KILLER in my opinion!

Suz

Wow. I really, really like this. And you know, I think you are converting me into a bag lady. Well, not you alone...but you and Angie and Shannon and a couple of other brilliant souls are slowly training my eye to the absolute perfection that the right bag can bring to an outfit. This is one of those moments. And now I want a gorgeous red bag like yours!

Thank you so much, ladies! I am enjoying this outfit today! The shoes were a gift from Hubby and JulieJohn, the red bit in the opening between the toe part and the heel part shows, so that's fun.

Suz, you definitely need to join Team Bag Lady! We have big fun!! This bag was one of my best eBay scores ever. I can't remember the price but the seller had noted there was a very small tear in the leather so I was the only bidder and got it for a song, and I had to search high and low to even see the teeny tiny imperfection. Just looked for it now and couldn't find it!

As you can see from Angie's outfit today, you are in good company with your B&W + red bag! Fantastic look and the jacket totally make that top office appropriate.

Just love those shoes peeping out and the black and white echoed in your sleeveless top. You and Angie are giving me outfit inspiration in black and white spades.

OMG, those shoes are so adorable - like Minnie Mouse but all grown up. LOVE it on you!
