WIW: Back to Work

Wow that week off went by fast! Back at work this morning so time to wear my new green Ikat dress. I've paired it with my very comfortable Clark's black leather sandals and my black/white leather handbag. In case the A/C in the office is cold, I've popped on my white denim jacket. This is my favourite outfit formula of all time - dress, jacket, shoes, handbag...easy peasy...

How does this look to your eye? Proportions ok? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Jacket: BUM Equipment (thrifted)
Dress: Cleo Petite
Sandals: Clark's
Handbag: Danier Leather (thrifted)
Bracelet: thrifted

    Shannon this is such a fabulous dress! Hope you have a great first day back at work. I bet your colleagues missed their resident style icon:)

    Love the styling here, the shoes, the jacket... All perfect.

    It looks perfect for a summer day, and good call on the jacket to minimise A/C. I was going to wear mine today too, but I have to move dusty old boxes all day so I didn't think it would be a good outing for mine :)

    I hope you have a good first day back!

    You look fabulous! Everything works so well together, just perfect. The proportions are great too. The new dress is beautiful.

    WHOA! What a way to jump start a Monday and the first day back to work after a lovely week off!! I love the dress, and I remember that you styled it with the white jacket before. That was my favorite look. And the bag and shoes just top it all off. So well done!

    You look SMASHING, Shannon !
    That dress is fabulous on you, and it also looks great with the jacket and the bag.
    Wonderful!

    Shannon, this look reminds me of an important element of scale -- larger scale prints can be work more sucessfully when they're low contrast. I tried a target dress with a slightly smaller scale, really cool print. However, it was black and pure white and it overwhelmed me completely. Seeing your dress (and how well it works for you) helped me see the difference. Thanks for the lesson!

    I LOVE that new dress on you! What a great color, pattern and silhouette for you. The white jacket looks beautiful with it also!

  • modgrl replied 11 years ago

    Well I guess all good things must come to an end but my goodness back to work with a hiss and a roar.

    Love the dress!

  • Jem replied 11 years ago

    Great outfit! Your new dress looks great with your jacket, purse and shoes you chose, too. Sorry you had to go back to work... ;-(

  • sarah replied 11 years ago

    Thanks for keeping that dress - awesome outfit!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    Ceit - you are going to LOVE wearing this dress! It was so comfy all day - just like we've both said: like wearing pyjamas!

    Thank you all so much for the compliments on my outfit and your sympathy for me going back to work (lol)!

  • Abie replied 11 years ago

    Gorgeous! What a fab start to the week!

  • Sveta replied 11 years ago

    You have one great formula here, Shannon! This outfit is very ladylike but denim jacket keeps it from being too sweet or bomdshell-y.
    You first day to work set the high mark for other days to follow!
