The sweater is a departure from your usual style, but what I found interesting is that it looks 2000% fabulous on you. (Sometimes we don't wear certain styles because they don't look very good on us, IYKWIM.) I think if this were an *ordinary* cascading cardi and was not EF quality, it would look meh on you. I am always so impressed by your style.
Shannon, you look arty and stylish. I've followed previous discussions in this forum in the past about style identities and veering from them, and my opinion is that experimentation is important and brings joy. I love that book by Trinny & Susannah, "Who Do You Want To Be Today?" To me, that's the joy of dressing up!
Definitely different, but excellently executed! I think you are ready for the zombie apocalypse brigade in this outfit Hehe. A lady after my own heart. I'll start work on a "chain mail" (i.e., soda can tab) vest for you. Hehe.
New to the forum but I have seen a lot of your WIWs and seriously this is my all-time favorite look of yours. Simple black dressing underneath really highlights the sweater. Lovely!
Lovely! The cut and drape of the sweater is really nice, and the sleek boots go a long way to streamlining this (as much as it could be hehe). Though I must say I like it with the clutch included because it adds a bit of lightness (that's just my thing with black feeling heavy, I think). This sweater could also be fun on the weekend with lighter elements, say a light top, jeans, and tall boots; you could really work the cozy angle for a weekend outfit!
Rae - I'm laughing at your comment on my boots. These have got to be at least 10 years old. I'm not sure if they're entirely in style but they sure are warm and comfy.
Aida - I know what you mean about adding lightness and love your styling suggestions. I will definitely be playing around with this sweater to see how many ways I can make it work.
Thank you all for chiming in - I truly appreciate each and every comment
I am having so much trouble keeping up at the moment, hence my late visit to this post. Shannon this might be my favourite outfit of yours ever! And that's saying something because I love all your outfits. You wear this beautifully. I was all for this sweater and I am thrilled to see how stunning it looks on you. This is perfection!
This is very, very much my style, so of course I like it - but it looks particularly good on you, with your excellent choice of accessories and coordinating clothing pieces. I can see how it's a departure from other things you've posted, and I know I'm new here, but to me it seems to fit your overall image even though it's a bit of an outlier.
