WIW: An Outfit for Inge

A few weeks ago I had asked the forum members for some suggestions on what to wear with my white jeans and got wonderful and helpful suggestions. One that really stood out for me was Inge's suggestion of pairing yellow stripes with white and an accessory in animal print. She had sent a link to a lovely little Gap light weight sweater and I ended up buying it. So today's outfit is Inge's suggestion and I love it - thank you so much Inge! I've paired my Gap sweater with my white jeans, Aerosole oxford sandals, thrifted animal print handbag and my newly thrifted white watch.

As always, all suggestions/comments welcome. Inge definitely knows her stuff 'cause I feel fab in this outfit!

Jeans: Jeanne Bekker
Sweater: Gap
Sandals: Aerosoles
Watch: thrifted
Handbag: thrifted

    Inge has stunning taste. And GREAT ideas. No wonder she's one of Angie's right-hand women!!

    I love this, you look so fresh and summery!

    Great ideas, Inge!

  • modgrl replied 11 years ago

    This is a perfect look for spring and summer! It kind of reminds me of Angie's cover photo look.

  • Jjsloane replied 11 years ago

    Great look - very summery resort. You look radiant and confident!

    Terrific! Inge came up with a good one here!

  • Angie replied 11 years ago

    KILLER

    Pattern mixing, white jeans, slouch, crisp colours, cute shoes = a great combination :)

    Clever, Inge!

    Thank you all!

    Angie - I'm so glad I held out until I found the "right" white jeans. You were sooooo spot on that once I found them, I'd love them.

    Woohoo! Great teamwork brings home another win!

  • greenglove replied 11 years ago

    Lovely, you look so fashionable and sharp, interesting combination. That Inge is a smart one!

    Super outfit! So fresh and sharp. And the bag really lifts it up to another level

  • ManidipaM replied 11 years ago

    Very fresh and happy, but at the same time more sophisticated than just plain perky 'yellow top, white pants' thanks to the patterns! Way to go, Shannon *and* Inge. This is great YLF teamwork.

    Perfect :-) you look great!

  • Astrid replied 11 years ago

    It's perfect! You look simply wonderful.

  • morethanbeige replied 11 years ago

    Absolutely love this!

  • Kiwichik replied 11 years ago

    Lovely. Hmmm I was looking at a bag like your one & wondering if I should get it - hmmm hopes still there as I am SYC for June.

  • celia replied 11 years ago

    That is how you do it. You already have the K word that you deserve from the expert .

  • Meredith1953 replied 11 years ago

    Yellow and white just makes me happy! The animal print purse is beautiful with it. Looks fab!

  • christieanne replied 11 years ago

    Inge has such a flair and great eye. You took that inspiration and made it your own beautifully. What a nice summery look!

  • Inge replied 11 years ago

    Ooh thanks for posting this one, Shannon (and thanks, ladies:-), I was so curious to see you model the sweater. Yellow + grey is one of my favourite colour combos for warm weather, it always feels fresh and elegant. And this time is no exception. You look marvelous!!

    I love how the specks add some extra textural interest (and kind of pick up the animal print in your bag), the sweater fits you beautifully, the white jeans and watch are fantastic (I also like how the white/off white is partly repeated in your sandals), the animal print bag is unexpected and adds extra spunk, and it all just looks so right and very "Shannon". Total winner in my book!-)

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments!

    Inge - I never would have put this together without your inspiration so any compliments I have received are all due to your wonderful style guidance!

  • Sylvie replied 11 years ago

    Beautiful outfit! You and Inge did a fantastic job putting this together. You look summery, stylish and happy!

  • Makrame replied 11 years ago

    Great idea pairing white with yellow and grey! Glad you were able to find the sweater based on Inge's suggestion - looks like a perfect match for your white denim.

  • Aida replied 11 years ago

    Cheerful and bright and lovely! I adore the slouchiness you've got going on here. This sweater will be cute with clams/shorts and sandals for casual weekend looks, too!
