WIW: Black cardigan for the A/C

In my attempts to stay warm in my office Arctic A/C, I purchased this EF linen-blend short simple cardigan. I adore the simplicity of this cardigan - no bells and whistles in terms of buttons, snaps, ties, design details - just an open, beautiful fabric, soft-to-the-touch, not-too-long, cardigan.

Underneath the cardi, I have on my abstract multicoloured in citron/black/grey/white/taupe drapey tank. I've paired the tank with my slightly slouchy black tapered trousers and then added my high vamp black sandals to elongate the leg line. I added my black/white specs, citron leather clutch and large gold watch for accessories.

Not an exciting outfit, but I feel good in it. Does it look ok to you? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Cardigan: Eileen Fisher
Tank: Laura Petites
Trousers: Ricki's
Sandals: Clarks
Clutch: Gap

    Love the punch of citron with the black. Also I love how sheer the cardi is. Fun topper for summer I am sure :)

    Ditto Joyce's comment! New hair? Looks fantastic and I love the tank - may have to wander into Laura's for a wee peek.....

    I swear, this could be the title of half my warm-weather WIWs.

    That looks like a great cardigan for throwing on with all kinds of things, and I love it with the citron.

    Yep, this is good to me.  I like yellow and black together, fun.

    Love it! The column of black is perfection as it runs straight down to your toes. The hits of citron keep it springy and fresh. Fab!!!

    I am a huge EF fan too.  Love to see other people enjoying her pieces as much as me.  You look terrific!

    Beautiful and polished.  I love the simplicity, and the way the purse pulls out the yellow int he top. Fabulous!

    Thanks ladies - I don't normally wear cardigans as they don't have enough structure for me normally but I will admit, I'm feeling pretty decent in this one :)

    Love the cardi, Shannon, and you've made a great choice here.  The fit is drapey, but not super oversized, which helps give a sense of structure.  I think texture is important, too --- adding visual "weight" and interest.  Well done!

    Super outfit, Shannon! The gorgeous, arty tank and beautifully fitting trousers make this a head-turning outfit on you. The cardi has a luxurious look making it a worthy topper for the outfit, and your sandals, clutch, and watch are perfect accompaniments. Not boring at all; chic & sophisticated.
