WIW: Floral moto & cream oxfords

June 16, 2014

Today's outfit started with my blue EF drape front dress. I love being able to just pop these on over my head and I'm essentially dressed. I've added my floral moto as a topper for protection against the A/C. I really like how the grey/purple/cream of the jacket looks against the blue of the dress. 

I then added my cream laser cut oxfords for footwear, to bookend the cream in the moto and bring out those lighter tones. I remember saying I would never wear oxfords with a dress….I have learned to never say never!

For accessories, I chose my large cream handbag, my taupe/silver leather wrap watch and silver wedding band, and my purple/clear specs.

Feeling good and ready for action! What do you think? Does it all work together? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Moto: Club Monaco
Dress: Eileen Fisher
Oxfords: Dolce Vita
Handbag: Danier Leather
Watch: Fossil

    The jacket does look fantastic against the dress. You are a natural member of the oxford with dress club Shannon!

    There is no end to your glorious style, Shannon. I just love seeing what you wear each day. Your new do and specs kick it all up a notch. You look a little like Jamie Lee Curtis. 

    Killer outfit. This is YOUR look. xo

    Great look! I love the moto and the oxfords really add a great twist to your look!

    You look great.  I always love your outfits, they have the perfect mix of dressed up and casual.

    Mona - these oxfords are in their 3rd summer now and still going strong!

    Ceit, Shevia & Deborah - glad to see I can pull off the oxfords/dress combo :)

    Angie - when you refer to "YOUR look", I assume you mean a dress and jacket?

    Thank you all for your lovely comments - appreciate you chiming in :)

    I shouldn't speak for Angie but when she says "your" look, I'll bet she means beautifully coordinated, thoughtfully assembled, thoroughly modern, and fab! Oh, and yeah....also a dress and jacket. :) 

    This one really does strike me as uniquely "Shannon." It has a tiny hint of retro in the oxfords. Modern in the simple dress. Trendy and feminine and even a bit rugged in the moto. (That moto is pretty amazing). 

    And yes -- the jacket looks wonderful with the blue of the dress.

    Such a great outfit! Really like how the colors of the jacket and dress play together, and the oxfords are unexpected but fun.

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.
