WIW: Day 1 of Sona's Dress Challenge

February 4, 2013

It's still pretty cold here but I wanted to participate in Sona's dress challenge this week. This meant tights and layering. I started the outfit with my green & black Ikat print dress, to which I added opaque black tights. On top of that, I layered my black leather blazer (I wonder what the CPW is down to now?). For footwear, I went with my Blondo Vergara boots since the knee high nature of the boots will add extra leg warmth.

For my handbag, I went with my black/cream leather one. I felt like adding a hint of vintage so popped on my Czech vintage black beads necklace - it just sort of peeks out here and there in the cowl neckline of the dress but I like that.

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

Blazer: Danier Leather
Dress: Cleo Petite
Tights: Roots
Boots: Blondo
Handbag: Danier Leather (thrifted)
Necklace: Vintage

    Great look! I was going to join the challenge too but I have to do some crawling around in dusty spaces so a dress wasn't optimal -- I was going to wear my ikat dress today too :) I'll wear it later this week perhaps!

    Great outfit, that green colour is lovely on you.

  • Jaime replied 11 years ago

    The colors of the dress are beautiful on you and that jacket is performing its magic as usual!

    It all totallyworks (especially love the handbag). This is pretty much my formula for this challenge too!

    I always like to see this dress on you. Shannon and of course this jacket makes everything look like a million bucks!

    I always feel so "at home" in a dress combo.

    Ceit - yes, you definitely need to wear your Ikat dress later this week when you're not crawling around!

    Thanks ladies!

    LOVE the colour and pattern on that dress. And of course the addition of the jacket would elevate any outfit. One of my favourites of yours!

    Go Team Green & Black dress! With our matching boots and color combos, we are on the same wavelength this morning, Shannon. So far I am staying warm - how about you?

  • Beth Ann replied 11 years ago

    Love the mix of color, texture and pattern. It's rich and fab!

    This is perfect as is, Shannon. I love this dress (and the leather blazer) to bits on you, and my happiness factor goes up each time I see you wear them, so thank you for making my day:-)

I started playing dress up when I was 4 years old and haven't stopped since! My income doesn't match my tastes so it's all about figuring out how to thrift my way to a fashionable life while tossing in a few delectable items.
