WIB and I'm keeping it ALL!!!

Today was a banner shopping day. I went to get undies at Sears and it turned out to be a an amazing trip.

In addition to the knickers (which I will not be showing you - lol!), I found:

1) My perfect white shirt: who knew it would turn out to be a Sears Jessica brand petite. But if fits great, has a wee bit of stretch and is a lovely weight (not too light, not too heavy).

2) A colour block black and cobalt blue pencil skirt by Jones & Co.

3) A black and cobalt blue striped silk blend shirt with an interesting nude coloured (but not see through) side panel by Attitude by Jay Manuel. It matches the skirt PERFECTLY!

The skirt and blouse will be mega workhorses for me under my various toppers and with various other tops and bottoms.

Then I arrived home to find my Sam Edelman red booties had arrived. Amazon never ceases to amaze me - I just ordered these yesterday morning! They are a gorgeous red leather and a 10 out of 10 for comfort on me. Love the heel height, the height of the bootie shaft and the amount of gap. Angie - thank you for recommending these!

Can you tell I'm smiling all over the place???

    YAY!!!!!! You look great! What a way to start your weekend :)

  • Mo replied 11 years ago

    yay indeed! SO nice to not have to be on the returns merry go round! Great buys!

  • annagybe replied 11 years ago

    Great stuff. I've never understood why Sears in Canada was so much cooler than Sears in the US. I used to buy MakeUpForever at the one in Vancouver, BC before Sephora started selling it.

  • Carole replied 11 years ago

    Wow, score. Love everything, especially the killer boots!

  • replied 11 years ago

    Hooray, the shopping goddesses smiled on you!

  • Sylvie replied 11 years ago

    I thought at first that the skirt and top were a single dress. I was going to gently nudge you to return it because it looked like the nude fabric at the sides was poofing out. Then I realized it was a top and skirt and I was seeing the width difference between the top and skirt. I guess you can keep them. ;-)

    Good grief!! You are on a roll here wtih good shopping fortune!!

    How fab to find a great white shirt, and those red booties are amazing. I'm really looking forward to seeing all the fun ways to style those :-)

  • Ingunn replied 11 years ago

    These garments are all perfect on you! Well done:)

  • jumpingfrog replied 11 years ago

    You look great! I love the red boots.

  • replied 11 years ago

    You did GREAT. I love every one of those items on you. I think the dress is especially smashing.

  • replied 11 years ago

    Woo hoo! I am loving that white shirt. The fit looks perfect; so crisp! The skirt and top combo is genius and should offer a ton of versatility since they can be split up. Love the booties too. That red is fab on you!

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    Wow, how fun! Sears, I didn't know you had it in you! Love it all, especially the booties.

  • Sona replied 11 years ago

    yay for an awesome shopping score!! I have been lusting after a black and cobalt skirt for ever and then kaboom I saw your post and ordered one from macy's. TS induced inspiration!!!

    :)

  • merwoman replied 11 years ago

    GORGEOUS!!!
    There's nothing else to add - except you look amazing, and you are radiating happiness!

  • Makrame replied 11 years ago

    Very nice! Gorgeous dress-like skirt/top combo and beautiful booties; I am jealous of the great fit on the shirt, too! Great finds!

  • Vicki replied 11 years ago

    Quite the success today and to think it all began with undies! From shirt to boots and your workhorses in between, I'd say you had a great day! Camera doesn't lie! Aren't those cute red booties waiting for a certain something to arrive?

  • catgirl replied 11 years ago

    Those are some fab finds, Shannon - you truly do leave no retail stone unturned. :)

  • cheryle (Dianthus) replied 11 years ago

    Very nice. Just goes to show we should never write off a store as we can often find gems in unexpected places.

    Absolutely love the blue/black. I thought it was a dress at first.

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    I guess I probably should have posted the skirt and blouse separately so that y'all didn't think it was a dress - sorry 'bout that!

    Vicki - that "something" you're referring to actually arrived. Here's the post about it http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....n-trousers

  • Kim replied 11 years ago

    Shannon, did you order the boots from Amazon.com? Did they ship them to your HOUSE?? Uh oh, I could be in real trouble here...

    What kind of shipping did you pay (if you don't mind saying)?

    ETA I'm asking because Shannon and I are both Canadian and cross border shipping can be expensive, but if they'll ship it to my house for a reasonable fee....Like I said..Uh oh...

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    Kim - I ordered them online from Amazon.com yesterday morning and they were delivered to my house by the always welcome UPS man at exactly 2:30 this afternoon. The boots were the same price as on the Nordstrom website ($160) and with shipping/duties/dollar conversion came to a total of $221.10. But they got here the next day (whoo too!) and Nordstrom's shipping is a bit more.

  • Caro in Oz replied 11 years ago

    Wow great haul.

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    Wow. This is what I get for going to the mall, shopping for undies myself! I come back with undies, Shannon comes back with a freakin' HAUL!!!!

    Seriously, I had hoped to come back with the portobello skirt from Cleo that you so kindly showed us, but guess what? They were totally sold out of all sizes in our store! Must be a pretty nice skirt.

    You look AMAZING in your crisp, clean white shirt. And that skirt/top combo is just unbelievable. What an amazing set of pieces. I didn't go into Sears when I was at the mall. Clearly I will have to return and go there!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    Suz - I can look in my local Cleo and see if they have your size in the skirt if you'd like?

  • Elly replied 11 years ago

    Wow Shannon-- you look like your having great fun!

    I love the boots and the white blouse, awesome!

    Not super sure about the top that matches the skirt. It could just be the picture/flash, but the fabric and piecework looks a bit cheap/shiny. Also, I;m not in love with the width of the shirt/sleeve attachment, but it could be just an awkward photo.

  • cheryl replied 11 years ago

    Sounds like a happy happy day. Yay! Great finds.

  • Deborah replied 11 years ago

    No question they are all keepers! Nice haul.
