WIW: Amity & Eileen

First off - Ceit - you were RIGHT! My jacket is the Amity after all - yay for jacket twins :)

I picked up my jacket from alterations last night and joined Team Wear today. I actually started the outfit with my new Eileen Fisher drape dress (Angie you were also right - the medium is the perfect size). I adore how this dress feels on - the softness, the movement, the comfort…I can see I may be purchasing more EF dresses in the future. 

I added my fun large dot hose and my black patent booties.

Then to top it off, I popped on my new indigo blue leather jacket. Now this is a less form fitting and more boxy style for me and I LOVE IT! I think it's a bit more modern with the nod to the oversized look. I normally wear a medium in Danier jackets but am unable to do up that size, which is fine as I wear them as indoor blazers. But I wanted this jacket to layer over a sweater and be able to do up comfortably so I could wear it as an outdoor jacket if and when Spring ever arrives (we're getting another huge dump of snow as I type this) so got it in large. 

My black handbag, red specs and swipe of red lipstick finish off the outfit.

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

Jacket & handbag: Danier Leather
Dress: Eileen Fisher
Tights: Hue
Booties: Ara

    TS -- there you are in "my" jacket!  Gorgeous.  Love black and blue together, and love the dot hose.

    Another super edgy polish, Shannon! Love the dots, and the bl&navy!

  • El Cee replied 10 years ago

    You look very sharp in your new leather jacket. (Yay Team Wear!) Black and blue is such a stunning and on trend combo. Love your dotty hose.

    Whoa - LOVE!

    April - I didn't know you had this jacket too? Yay for jacket triplets!!!

    These dotty hose are about 2 years old and I have looked all over to find a replacement pair but alas, Hue does not make this pattern anymore :(

    Thanks for the lovely comments ladies - I'm feeling pretty darned good in this outfit I must admit :)

    Ooh, I love the polka-dotted tights.  The new jacket looks great!

    You've made great purchases, Shannon.  These items are a great boost to your already fab style.  Love the rich blue with the black.

    I so understand the sizing question. I just bought the navy gap moto that Sveta posted, and kept putting on L, XL, back to L, XL.  Sigh.  It came to to a decision about how I wanted to layer --- as a blazer or outerwear?  I chose the indoor version.  With leather, I think I'd need a really lightweight jacket for indoors, so, unless it was paper thin, I'd make the same decision you did --- room for layering under.  The large you're wearing has plenty of tailored structure and doesn't add bulk at all.

    Killer

    This used to be such a Shannon-look. I love that it resurfaced. xo

  • rae replied 10 years ago

    Ooh, I can see the yummy color much better here! Fab outdoor jacket!!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Beth Ann - I do find now with leather jackets I really have to ask myself the question about how I intend to wear it because different purposes may mean different sizes.

    Angie - is that why I feel so good in this today? Dress with topper with booties did indeed used to be my favorite formula.

    Rae - isn't that indigo color gorgeous?

  • Neel replied 10 years ago

    Wow!!! I love the boxy look on you!! Awesomeness top to bottom!!

  • Emily replied 10 years ago

    <3 the dark blue and black, and the polka dot hose are a perfect touch.  Looks great!

  • MsMary replied 10 years ago

    Wowza!  This is just spectacular!!

  • Vicki replied 10 years ago

    Wow, do you look gorgeous, elegant and stylish, Shannon!  Love the black, blue and your pretty red lipstick.

  • catgirl replied 10 years ago

    Beautiful! And yes very old-school Shannon. That color!

    I sized my Vince jacket to wear as a layer rather than over layers. To me that is the key to an indoor leather jacket.

  • Debra replied 10 years ago

    Perfect !!!!!!! Gorgeous dress and I love that jacket. YLF :)

  • Helena replied 10 years ago

    love it!

  • unfrumped replied 10 years ago

    Fantastic jacket color. I think you were right to get the dress and feel free to use it as a "substrate" , a simple base for all the other parts of the outfit. And great that the fabrication feels so good to wear.

  • Sarah A replied 10 years ago

    Great to see you new Eileen Fisher out and about and with the Danier on top.  Amazing!

    LOVE!!!
