WIW: A little houndstooth and a little python

Transcona Shannon

Veteran

Got my SE python booties yesterday and couldn't wait to wear them. I'm not sure this is the best pairing but I think it works and I'll have more time to play with them later - I just couldn't wait, you know?

Today's outfit, along with the gorgeous booties, includes my slim cigarette-type trousers and black/white houndstooth blouse. Accessories are simple with my red quilted handbag, and a couple of rings.

What do you think? Does it all work? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Blouse: Vince Camuto
Trousers: Calvin Klein (thrifted)
Booties: Sam Edelman
Handbag: Nine West (thrifted)

I love that look.

Houndstooth always catches my eye.

It definitely works well, Shannon. The new boots are lovely, and paired with the red bag, give the B&W outfit some flair!

I don't think you had to worry about the boots - they look just great on you! Love the houndstooth blouse also.

Great boots! I'm glad they worked out for you. This outfit is a good first outing for them as it does a good job of showing them off.

Those booties are really gorgeous! I think your're right, you won't have to worry about bookending with these, there's just enough black in them. I really like this outfit, I think it totally works. Can't wait to see what you pair them with next!

Totally my kind of outfit! The black placket and collar make that shirt shine. Great combo with the new boots too!

Yay! Thanks everyone. I'm so in love with these booties that it should be illegal!

Shannon, I think we are on the same wavelength today as I am also wearing my python booties, black skinny trousers and black and white striped oversized shirt.:-)
So of course I like yours!:-)

Love it, Shannon! I tried on that blouse, and it didn't work for me, but it looks smashing on you. I adore your red bag, too. Aren't you glad you didn't wait?!

Yet another gorgeous Shannon day!!

How do the booties fit? You ordered the larger of your two sizes, right? That makes me sad since the larger of MY two sizes is no longer available....alas....

You look great! Kinda rock-and-roll with those python booties.

Suz - I wear a 6 in Clarks and Docs and a 6.5 in everything else. I ordered these in the 6.5 and they are perfect.

Joy - yes, the shirt is from NAS and I'm very happy with it.

Thanks for your lovely words ladies!

Hmm. Yes, that was my worry, Shannon. I take a 6.5 or 7. I think I would need the 7 in these if you took 6.5.

Ah well. I did get my Stuart Weitzman's after all!

Whoa, what a fantastic pattern mix - was this the first inspiration upon seeing the booties? Can't wait to see what else is up your style sleeve!

Transcona Shannon

Veteran

Yes Suz - you DID get your SW's! And they are GORGEOUS!

Una - yes strangely enough, this was the first outfit idea that popped into my head when I put the booties on out of the box last night. And I have NO IDEA why!!!

I absolutely love the houndstooth blouse. It is a great way to do this print in an unconventional way.

Oh Shannon, the booties really are perfection on you!! And I love this entire outfit, fabulous silhouette on you. The houndstooth blouse is brilliant with the black pants and the python print, and the splash of red makes me happy.

Love your WIW posts, you just continue to knock it out of the park.

I love the pattern mixing but most of all I love the addition of red to a black and white ensemble. I must get a red bag, however all I'm finding is more black bags.

I am clearly missing out on the python boot trend. I want a pair now. Love the playfulness of the shirt -- the graphic lines play really nicely with the pop of red and the boots are a unexpected organic element. You go!
