White leather & red specs

I'm debuting two new things today - a drapey hi-lo black and white graphic tee and my red Coach specs.

First to the outfit - I found this drapey tee last night, ripped off the tags and joined Team Wear this morning. It's nice and soft, the hem length is perfect for me and I thought it would be a cute piece for layering under jackets for a bit of whimsy. It's difficult to tell in the photos but the pic is of a Victoria-era dancer.

I paired the tee with my ponte knit dress style trousers - these things are crazy comfy and cozy for the cold weather. And the best part is they don't sag and bag by the end of the day.

I topped the tee with my white leather jacket and chose my black patent booties for footwear. These booties are been tremendous workhorses for me. My cobalt/cream/black quilted handbag and a silver ring are my accessories. And of course, my red lipstick.

I'm also wearing my new red glasses that came in yesterday. They are an oversize geek-chic kind of look with red eye portions and then the arm are clear (difficult to tell in the photos). I totally love these glasses and wow - is it ever nice to be able to read again!

So what do you think of the outfit and the glasses ladies? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Jacket & handbag: Danier Leather
Tee: Smart Set 
Trousers: Laura Petite
Booties: Ara

    Love your new glasses, Shannon… the color and shape are so flattering on you. Your new drapey T-shirt is very nice and looks great paired with your leather jacket and fun colorblock handbag. Fabulous outfit!

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    Fun specs! You look great, Shannon. A fantastic outfit. That white leather jacket is the same workhorse as your black one. Beautiful. 

  • Jaime replied 10 years ago

    Love the glasses! The tee looks great under the white leather and the trousers look like they hold they shape amazingly well for ponte knit.

  • dianne replied 10 years ago

    Love your glasses Shannon!! Your outfit looks great- I especially love the white leather jacket!!

  • April replied 10 years ago

    Fabulosity.  I didn't think there was a leather jacket that I want that I don't already have, but may have to reconsider that opinion...

  • Sara L. replied 10 years ago

    I love the graphic tee under the jacket.  I'm also looking forward to seeing the tee by itself to get a better look at it.  Love the specs!  So cool looking.

  • Glory replied 10 years ago

    Love the entire thing. The new t is great! and the glasses are powerful! They really suit!

  • Nebraskim replied 10 years ago

    Super love the red specs. Great color or you. I admire your devotion to open necklines (and the assymetrical necklines like the one from yesterday). I get too cold with my neck exposed and actually don't care for the swanny look of my neck. I wear turtlenecks (standing, not rolled over) pretty much 8 months of the year. Or fill the open space with a scarf. You are giving me courage to try to wear more open necks, although not until we can get past days where the high is only 8F.

  • Mellllls replied 10 years ago

    Fabulous. The glasses suit you. I also like your booties.

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    Woooohoooo. The new specs are killer fabulous. The colour is sensational, Shannon. Fantastic casual outfit. Modern and Crisp. 

  • pil replied 10 years ago

    Wow, great glasses!

  • carambola replied 10 years ago

    Your new glasses are gorgeous - just perfect for you! Love your outfit too. You look terrific in black and white.

  • Emily replied 10 years ago

    Wow, Shannon!  The glasses are amaaaazing!  You look SO fab.  

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Thanks for the glasses and tee love ladies!

    Angie - I was especially excited to unveil the new red glasses to you since we'd been discussing red as my new spec color. So glad they meet with your approval :)

    Sara - I will definitely be showing this tee at some point without a topper.

    This outfit is another one that fits my new style criteria - some drape, some structure, great fit, a little trendy and a little bit of edge. Feeling good today :)

  • JulieJohn replied 10 years ago

    Those glasses are the bee's knees, Shannon! And I really like the crispness of this outfit. Glad you are comfy and cozy too - a big bonus!

  • Greyscale replied 10 years ago

    Super fab.

  • Sarah A replied 10 years ago

    I must have missed your new rubric  "some drape, some structure, great fit, a little trendy and a little bit of edge". I really see it working here! Looks great I really dig the high low T and fantastic choice for the spec. The clear side is so cool!

  • shemarie replied 10 years ago

    Wow! I love it all.  The whole outfit it fabulous, but your amazing eye for details really, really sets this apart! The red glasses and that fabulous color-blocked bag take a great casual outfit and really elevate it even further.   

  • Caro in Oz replied 10 years ago

    Spec - tacular :) :) Truly love this outfit - one of your best imo.

  • Elizabeth P replied 10 years ago

    Overall, a resounding... wow!  The specs are spec(tacular)
    And now, where did you find that tee?  I think I need it :).  I've been wanting a b/w graphic tee since last summer...

  • Ingunn replied 10 years ago

    I love your new glasses, Shannon! You look spectacular in them. Great outfit today, too - how do you manage to keep it up day in, day out! You are on a roll! I adore the white leather jacket.

  • deb replied 10 years ago

    Love the new specs and the lipstick looks really good with them.

  • catgirl replied 10 years ago

    Very fab! Red is a neutral in frames too.

  • Karie replied 10 years ago

    Red is certainly your color, girlfriend! Those specs are gorgeous, and so is your entire outfit. 

  • Joyce B replied 10 years ago

    Looking great, both the outfit and the specs! You know how to make your outfits look happy.

  • Petite Marj replied 10 years ago

    I just love the sassy attitude you bring to so many of your photos! So much fun...you look quite fearless too. As I have said before, you sure know how to "do winter!"

  • Joy replied 10 years ago

    Love it all, Shannon, but those new specs are so fab on you!
