WIW: Brianna & The Stripes

Friday we had Cameron and The Polka Dots and today, it's Brianna and The Stripes.

It's the debut of my newly eBayed True Religion Brianna white jeans. It's funny how our office allows blue denim jeans only on Fridays but white denim can be any time. I guess it is seen as dressier. 

Anyway, I've paired my TR Brianna's with my yellow and oatmeal striped light weight sweater. It's quite cool here today so I will be comfortable in pants and a sweater. I've added my snakeskin belt for a bit more pattern and a hint of taupe and then my taupe patent pointy pumps for some ladylike footwear. I've added my gold watch and wedding ring for jewelry and my cream satchel for my handbag.

What do you think? Does it all work together? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

With the addition of my TR Cameron's and my TR Brianna's, I finally feel in a good place with my jeans. 

Sweater: Gap
Jeans: True Religion Brianna
Belt: Olsen Europe
Shoes: Cole Haan
Handbag: Danier Leather
Watch: thrifted

    Great ray of sunshine for a dreary day!

  • TraceyLiz65 replied 10 years ago

    Love the pop o folor in the sweater and the mixes of neutrals with the shoes, and purse!  

  • Debra replied 10 years ago

    White jeans always look fantastic and how you have added the yellow stripes...........brightens up my wet winter day, great outfit :)

  • replied 10 years ago

    Ah, Brianna and the Stripes... That could maybe be a bit of an Indie band :D
    You look good today Shannon. I love the yellows, gold, white nude tones. Fab length on your jeans too. Glad you are sorted with your jean capsule. It was worth the effort of getting the right pieces.

  • ruthe replied 10 years ago

    Good morning. Yes, it is strange that an office would allow white jeans any time and denim only on Fridays. I agree with you about the white jeans looking dressier tho. I've been retired so long now I don't know what's really allowable and not. You look so nice, as always.

    You look fabulous!!!  The white jeans are smashing, the striped sweater a great pop of color but still meshes soooo well with the jeans, and I love the cream handbag to reinforce the soft light color scheme. Soooo fab!!

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    You look like a ray of sunshine, Shannon! Gorgeous! Those jeans were a perfect purchase. Enjoy them! 

  • Krista replied 10 years ago

    Perfect summer outfit, Shannon! YLF!

  • Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

    Yes, Shannon, these pants are the bomb. It's a great example of the value of upgrading an item when it's proven its usefulness in your wardrobe. The TRs are exceedingly flattering.

    Sweater is a slice of Summer and, paired with the refined taupe accessories, is perfect for the workday.

    So glad you have a cool day!

  • MsMary replied 10 years ago

    Love this.  You look like one tall, cool, summery drink of water!

    Diane - thanks for the comment on the length of the jeans. I always find it slightly scary when taking pants to get shortened and hemmed. I've actually started pinning them myself before I take them to the seamstress since I have become quite particular about the length. Let's see...we've covered doo-wop and Indie bands in the last few days...

    Ruthe - obviously everyone's work environment has different dress codes. I'm looking forward to the days when I no longer have to pay attention to that either :)

    Beth Ann - that's exactly what these jeans are - an upgrade. Once I bought my first pair of white jeans and realized (much to Angie's delight I'm sure) how versatile they are and how much I enjoy wearing them, it was time to find "the pair". 

    Thank you Ceit, DonnaT, Tracey, Debra, Thistle, Suz, Krista and MaryK :)

    I'm really loving mixing white, cream and taupe together these days too - who knew?

  • Sara L. replied 10 years ago

    My old office also allowed blue jeans only on Fridays, but colored denim could be worn at anytime.  You look great and that yellow/grey top is one of my favorites on you. 

  • Sveta replied 10 years ago

    Yellow and white is such a great summery color combination and taupe is a nice addition to it.
    I am wearing a light sweater today too - yay for the cool down!

  • CocoLion replied 10 years ago

    Fantastic outfit and the Brianas look like a great find.

  • annagybe replied 10 years ago

    Nice.

  • replied 10 years ago

    Gorgeous!  Funny about the white jean office code.

  • Elizabeth P replied 10 years ago

    Another great outfit Shannon.  The jeans are a GREAT investment!

  • Ornella replied 10 years ago

    Simple and sophisticated. Great observation about the white jeans.

  • Ariadne replied 10 years ago

    Beautiful!  You're looking extra amazing these days.  I haven't had much time for the forum lately, but do I spy a new haircut and some weight loss?  

  • Jjsloane replied 10 years ago

    YLF! Great jeans and outfit!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Thank you all so much for your lovely comments.

    Ariadne - nice to hear from you! I am growing my hair into a bit of a different shape. And yes, a bit of weight loss with hopefully more to come. Thanks for noticing :)

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    As fresh as lemonade! SO FAB.

  • Helena replied 10 years ago

    I have a massive stripe problem (addiction really!) ... so I  definitely love this, very fresh, light and perfect for summer.

  • dlb1960 replied 10 years ago

    Love that sweater! A winning combo as always!

  • amiable replied 10 years ago

    Wow!  A really terrific combo!  You rock those jeans!
