WIW: Boot Camp Day 1

I'm glad it's Casual Friday (Denim Day in my office) so I don't have to think too hard about how to work my mini boot into my style. If you wanna know why I'm not wearing a shoe on my left foot here's the story http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....re-walking.

These Wit & Wisdom skinnies are no longer very skinny but that worked to my advantage this morning as I could stretch the pant leg over the brace. Then I just slip my foot into my Under Armour sandals. In order to keep my heels approximately the same height, I chose for my shoe my pretty pointy toed black leather/animal print Fluevog oxford. If you're only gonna wear one shoe, might as well make it fab right?

With the dark jeans, I chose my simple but favourite sparkly hi-lo navy sweater that DS gave me for Christmas last year. When I head out the door, I'll have on the Spiegel leather jacket and to change things up completely, I chose my two-tone vintage Fossil handbag. I like how it is totally opposite the black and navy colour palette and kind of works with the animal print in the shoe. For jewelry, I'm wearing my rose gold/black watch and gold wedding band.

Does this work together? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Sweater: Laura Petite
Jeans: Wit & Wisdom
Shoe: Fluevog
Handbag: Fossil
Watch: Fossil (thrifted)

Whoops….realize I forgot my close up still shot at the end. Sorry 'bout that!

    Love this Shannon! The choice of bag is brilliant.

    Gorgeous!  You're looking especially amazing lately.

    You are all so sweet :) So here's something funny...my local Value Village thrift store has a rack in the shoe department for "single" shoes and I always thought how ridiculous that is. But hey...now I can see the point!

    More thumbs up from me. Mismatching is a style and you rock. xo

  • Sona replied 10 years ago

    TS: the single shoe shelf makes me both want to laugh and cry. Seriously you  did such an incredible job making lemonade with the lemons (feet) in this outfit. Lets consider this sparkle and pattern ( the shoes!)

    :)

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Sona - I know what you mean about the single shoe shelf. I realized eventually that there are amputees that would be wanting/needing just a single shoe so it totally makes sense.

  • modgrl replied 10 years ago

    Oh No! Did I miss your update on your foot?! I hope you are doing ok! You certainly look great :) I love the sparkly sweater. It is very festive and fun for a friday!

  • Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

    Atta girl!  That's the way to take on adversity.  I do hope you can keep your foot elevated, a least a portion of your day.  And I'm loving your slouchy skinnies!

  • LACeleste replied 10 years ago

    Shannon,  You are such a wonderful and fashionable example of a positive attitude.  Great smile!

  • Emily replied 10 years ago

    You look great - I hope your foot is better soon!

  • shedev replied 10 years ago

    Nice outfit Shannon. Hope your foot feels better soon.

  • Caro in Oz replied 10 years ago

    Fab imo :)

  • CocoLion replied 10 years ago

    You look fashionable and I want to hug you now with your mis-matched shoe.  

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Thank you all SOOOOOO much :)

    I will admit that I found my mismatched footwear very fun to wear and had a few comments at work about my one wild shoe!

  • peacechick replied 10 years ago

    I couldn't even tell you had a brace on! Heal quickly and I think you look great! Love the sparkly sweater and wild shoe!

  • Debra replied 10 years ago

    Looking great :)

  • Marmee replied 10 years ago

    You're rocking the boot!  Love the black and navy together.  When I was in the Steven Alan shop in San Francisco this week the SA told me that black and navy together are hot right now!  (My husband asked me if he said that I looked hot in black and navy!)

  • gryffin replied 10 years ago

    Shannon - you are absolutely the Queen of Brace Chic!!  Who knew that a brace could become a fashion statement!!  (hey assymmetry is totally on trend right?!)  Your outfit and attitude, brace and all, are totally fabulous!!  I only hope you soon feel as good as you look!! 

  • RoseandJoan replied 10 years ago

    Shannon you look so fab I did not notice the mismatched shoes.

    I hope your foot heals soon.

  • kkards replied 10 years ago

    Nice to see that despite everything, you are smiling! Love the outfit, that sweater is just great!

  • Deborah replied 10 years ago

    Love  this!  Simple, modern and very cool looking.  Does it feel funny wearing only one proper shoe? 

  • goldenpig replied 10 years ago

    You look great! Hope your foot heals soon! You are rocking the single shoe look!
