WIW: Cobalt & White

I'm so in love with all things white this summer - it's bordering on an obsession!

Today's outfit started with my white blazer and underneath that, I have on a  colourful Cleo tank purchased a few weeks ago. I like the gathered neckline of this tank and the detail of the navy shoulders (which are nice and wide, which I truly appreciate). I've paired the tank with my cobalt knit pencil skirt and for footwear, my silver/bone sandals. 

For accessories I'm wearing my white watch and carrying my light cream handbag. Again, there is a mix of white shades in this outfit.

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

Shout out to MaryK for her fabulous white blazer inspiration outfits :)

    Gorgeous! I think you are getting ME obsessed with your white blazer. I also love those sandals. Where did you find them, again? :)

    I think it works wonderfully. Smart, crisp, classy and I am in love with your shoes :)

    Great summer look. Love the bag and shoes with the jacket. YLF.

    Ditto - I have several new pieces of white too - and we are in Winter. Sooo happy with them too.  Your outfit is crisp office glamour!.  White just seems to lift your spirits doesn't it?  Well that is a good enough excuse to war it anyway. Love the shoes too.

    How nice to see you TS. I wasn't expecting you this morning, but so good to see you. Hope all is well. You're looking beautiful as always :) and I agree with you about the color white.

    I am with you on the white obsession and this looks great. I am impressed again with what a good choice those sandals were for you!

    Love Love - incorporating my fave colours of cobalt and white. Fresh and crisp.

  • lyn67 replied 10 years ago

    Hope you feel better Shannon! And, I also love whites on spring/summer time. That was one of my first aknowledged lessons here when joining YLF, and now I cannot live without!

  • Lantana replied 10 years ago

    This all works beautifully and you look summer perfect. The top offers other possibilities for bag colour, do you ones in coral or blue?
    I adore and covet those shoes.

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    I see we have a fair bit of "white love" here! It really does make everything else in the outfit pop doesn't it? And yes Archer, it does indeed lift the spirits.

    Raisin - the shoes are from Canadian Footwear. They have a number of shoes/boots from the Fugitive line and all the ones I tried on were incredibly well made and extremely comfortable. Definitely worth checking out. Here's the Fugitive page on their website if you're interested http://www.canadianfootwear.co.....earchFullt

    Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. I'm feeling pretty snappy in this outfit :)

    ETA: Cross posted with you Lantana! Ooooohhhhh....I love the idea of a blue or coral handbag. Hmmmm....I thought I was done shopping for summer....

  • Karie replied 10 years ago

    Very chic - I love the colors. Those shoes are fab-a-licious!

  • Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

    Love white and bright floral together!  And its been a revelation to realize that all the whites in an outfit needn't "match."  The subtle variations in your outfit add depth and softness.  You look great!

  • hedgiehog replied 10 years ago

    You look lovely! White has never been a go to for me but I've incorporated it in small pieces. I think the top works well with the skirt and you can probably wear it with other pieces as well. YLF!

  • shedev replied 10 years ago

    You had me at cobalt. Those shoes are really fab with your style.

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    White makes it all right :). I am SO with you, Shannon. Fresh, crisp and modern.

    Welcome to Team White, where we are constantly praising its magical powers.

    KILLER outfit!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Karie - I cannot say enough how glad I am I bought these shoes. These truly are MY summer white sandals. Love them!

    Beth Ann - I never would have had non matching whites in an outfit pre YLF. Actually I'm not sure I would have worn anything white period. I really like the varying shades of white and cream.

    Thanks Shedev and Hedgie!

    Angie - I am so glad to be a new member of Team White :)

  • MsMary replied 10 years ago

    This is fab, especially with the jacket!  Yay, Team White!!

  • Sveta replied 10 years ago

    White is on my mind too - out of 4 days this week I wore something white for 3 of them!
    Actually I thought it is a bug I caught from Angie...:-)
    Everything looks better with white blazer! Love your outfit Shannon. so summery and bright - and those white shoes are darlings!

  • DonnaF replied 10 years ago

    I especially love how that top shows off your waist and how those shoes showcase your shapely legs.  I can't imagine any white shoes looking better on you!

  • Caro in Oz replied 10 years ago
