WIW: Dancing Watermelon

July 25, 2014

I have to say that for a $20 tee, this Victoria-era ballerina tee has held up incredibly well.

I've paired my dancing tee with my black/white striped tube skirt and then to further play up black and white patterns (and for comfort) added my black/white polka dot Birks for footwear. If the office is unbearably cold, I'll pop on top my faded denim/leather mixed media jacket. For accessories I went with my watermelon handbag, red specs and silver watch, wedding ring and bracelet.

Sooooooo glad it's Friday :)

So what do you think of this outfit? Does it all work together? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Tee: Smart Set
Skirt: Vince Camuto
Sandals: Birkenstock Pappillio
Handbag: hospital gift shop
Watch: Gucci (thrifted)

    What a beautiful outfit Shannon!  Love that tee.  The bag adds just the right dose of color.

    You look cute. It must be the tee that brings in the kinda playfull vibe.

  • annagybe replied 9 years ago

    Ooh really well done.

  • kerry replied 9 years ago

    Perfect proportions, as always. Love the denim vest with it. Hmmm, maybe I need a denim vest :)

  • Suz replied 9 years ago

    Adorable, Shannon!! 

  • Jaime replied 9 years ago

    Perfect pattern mix!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 9 years ago

    Thanks ladies :)

    Kerry - just to clarify, the denim piece is a jacket not a vest. It just looks like a vest because the sleeves are leather and it fools your eye.

  • jackiec replied 9 years ago

    So cute! I love the title and popped straight in when I saw "watermelon" :)

    Thanks for the clarification - I thought it was a vest too. 

    Fun :)

    You know it took me a bit to get the watermelon reference. I thought you were referring to yourself as the watermelon, and I'm like that's bad self love! Then I realized it was the handbag. Clearly I did not get enough sleep .

    I love the striped skirt and graphic tee together.  Very modern and interesting look. 

  • Transcona Shannon replied 9 years ago

    LOL Anna! You just totally made my day :)

    Especially LOVE this outfit with the jacket. It adds that great bit of modern fabness, Shannon. Another killer look. xo

    You really have this nailed down, don't you!  I love this t-shirt with that skirt - ups the coolness factor by 10.  Great for a Friday look too, and the pop of colour in the bag adds polish.  Lovely:)

    Your Friday looks have been spectacular!  Love the playful edge of the black/white.  I'm loving mine with flats, too.

    Joy - actually one of the Executive Director's told me she loved my jacket and my whole outfit. I thought that was nice.
