I don't know why I didn't think of this combination before. I've paired my black clams with this floaty white/black/green/blue striped blouse, more green with my Poetic Licence pumps and then even MORE green with my handbag. Then I've added a pop of white with my watch.
What do you think? Does this work? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.
Blouse: Cynthia Rowley (thrifted)
Clams: Reitmans
Shoes: Poetic Licence
Handbag: Cleo (thrifted)
Watch: thrifted

WOW! Wow-wow-wow! This is spectacular, Shannon. Absolutely brilliant. Why *didn't* you think of this before?! Spots and stripes, and a triple dose of that emerald green --- so very modern classic, so very on-trend. BEYOND fab!
(And talk about figure flattery! This makes you look like an IT...)

So fab and timely with Angie's post today, on Karen's outfit!:-)

This is lovely! Such a lovely silhouette and it flatters your figure to perfection. The green is such a great color on you Shannon. The crops are a good length too. I'm making this a favorite so I can reference it for summer when I planning to attempt crop pants again:)
This outfit is right up there with Karen's this morning! I love, love LOVE it. The shoes really tip it over the edge to fabulosity. And I can't believe you thrifted that shirt! The stripes are so great....I love how there is a black stripe at the very bottom. Brilliant!

It is exciting to find new combinations in one's closet, especially when they work together as well as your outfit does!

Fantastic outfit, Shannon! It is sort of a variation of Karens outfit today, don't you think? Love it.
Diana replied 11 years ago
Shannon, this is SUCH a flattering outfit on you. The greens and blues are so lovely as well.

Now *this* is how to do matchy matchy! Love all the colors as well as the mixed patterns. The graphic white stripes look so modern and fun. Could totally see this with some sheer black tights for a transitional outfit, too. A timeless color combo.

OH SOOO COOL! Im a sucker for stripes and I LOVE LOVE LOVE This outfit. You know I would so wear this outfit.

Note to self - repeat this oufit. Thanks for all the positive feedback - I was worried it was too matchy-matchy in terms of the green but I guess not.

Oh yes, that works. (Wearing green and black today myself, but with much less panache.)

Love it!
Matchy-matchy in the best way. Love the green!

Oh, wow! My matchy-matchy heart is all aflutter over this look!
If you want to know the truth, you had me at the thumbnails...

One of your best, Shannon! And this is "matchy" in the modern fashion sense, not in the toddler sense!

Flying to Winnipeg to snatch that blouse!

Yeah baby! I love the stripes! Very polished with the touches of green echoed throughout the outfit!

This outfit is so chic but then the shoes add a touch of wit and elevate the look to another level.

Love! Perfect length on the cropped pants, and these colors are all up in my brain right now too :D I wonder how your cream loafers would look here?
Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago
Oh no....Heather is going to steal my blouse and Una is going to steal my handbag! Better lock the doors tonight (lol)!
Aida - didn't even think of the cream loafers - gonna try that next time. Thanks!
Thanks everybody. I felt good in this outfit all day so is definitely a "keeper" combination.

Matchy matchy me loves this outfit! Those green polka dot shoes are so cute and I love the bag! Next time you can change it up and wear it with the cobalt pumps too (you kept those Kate Spade pumps, right?)
Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago
Oooooh yet another shoe option! You bet I kept those cobalt pumps Natalie!
I started playing dress up when I was 4 years old and haven't stopped since! My income doesn't match my tastes so it's all about figuring out how to thrift my way to a fashionable life while tossing in a few delectable items.
