WIW: Gold, black & real shoes

My physiotherapy on my ankle has started and I've been given the ok to try out shoes today, as long as they aren't high heeled. So my outfit started with my choice of shoes - my flat animal print/black leather pointy toed Fluevog oxfords.

To book end the golden animal print portion of the shoes (which photographs so much lighter in my close up shot for some reason), I chose my metallic gold slouchy sweater that I bought last year. I've semi tucked and added a black leather belt to my TR Cameron jeans. Jewelry is my rose gold/black watch and gold wedding band. I then chose my black leather handbag with gold hardware and because it's a beautifully mild day today, will be wearing my Club Monaco black wool wrap cape-style jacket when I head out the door.  Because I'm trying out a bit of a daytime smokey eye for makeup, I put away my strong red lipstick and am wearing Quo pale burgundy lip gloss instead. I'm not normally a lip gloss gal, but I love this one.

So what do you think? Does this all work together for a casual Friday? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Jacket: Club Monaco (consignment)
Pullover: Esprit
Jeans: True Religion
Shoes: Fluevog
Belt & handbag: Danier Leather
Watch: Fossil

    Yeah! Love this Shannon! I swear, you are looking so great lately (not that you weren't super before). Something has clicked for you.

  • Aquamarine replied 10 years ago

    Your sweater fits right in with Angie's blog post today! I love it! Hope your foot stays happy today.

  • Jaime replied 10 years ago

    Good work healing! I just love those shoes and your new bag and the sweater is the perfect way to tie them together!

  • E replied 10 years ago

    I love the whole outfit but omg that cape! With that bag! Perfection on you.

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    Works beautifully, Shannon! And I love that sweater and shoes on you. So great you have the green light to take off the boot! 

  • lyn67 replied 10 years ago

    Fluevogs just pull on together all the other beautiful items you wear today! Happy your ankle is healed!

  • Elizabeth P replied 10 years ago

    Perfection!  I hope all goes well with the foot... no sudden twisty turns!

    Need you ask?  Amazing look, I say! :)

    Perfect...YLF!

    You look terrific!  Teh whole outfit is fab, so glad you got to wear your Fleuvogs. I bet that alone lifted your mood.

    I hope all goes well with the ankle. 

  • Lisa replied 10 years ago

    This is a great casual Friday look and the perfect sweater to sport on all the upcoming holidays too.  Nice!

  • Neel replied 10 years ago

    Yay for the ok to wear shoes!!!!!!  I am sure you are much happier now, though with lesser choice of shoes!

    Love the gold sweater and the jeans is superb!  I have a wardrobe hole for faded jeans.  The cape sweater is very cute!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Thank you all for your lovely comments - this sweater is one of my favorite purchases from last winter so glad to be able to pull it out again.

    And my excitement about wearing a shoe was short lived unfortunately. My ankle is killing me already and I had to put the boot back on. It's obviously not ready yet :(

  • Emily replied 10 years ago

    Congratulations on being back to real shoes!  And what better pair to celebrate.  Every time you wear those I consider buying them.

    You look equal parts casual glam; like you're ready to power through work and have a fun weekend.  Well done.  I like your makeup, too.

  • Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

    Shiny Shannon!  Love this look -- that sweater was a great purchase, and the Fluevogs are da bomb!

    Sorry to hear your foot protested.  Sigh.

  • LACeleste replied 10 years ago

    I was so happy for you when I saw plural shoes in your title!  Looking great Shannon!

  • Diana replied 10 years ago

    Hooray for real shoes!!!!!
    I think this is fantastic for casual friday, and I love the bit of daytime sparkle.  Have to say though that I think the outfit underneath is being outshined by the amazing CAPE!!!  Seriously, it's fantastic on you.

  • Jjsloane replied 10 years ago

    Simply divine. I hope the shoes support you today - great to see both feet back in them!

  • karymk replied 10 years ago

    Oh Shannon This has to be my favorite outfit that I've seen since joining the Forum.  Do you even KNOW how good you look in those jeans? I have to copy cat this today, I am just sorry.  I will send you a pic later in the day, right here!

  • rebekahphoto replied 10 years ago

    you look great! I love the sparkly gold sweater with the animal print fluevogs...course I love animal print shoes and fluevog! 

  • replied 10 years ago

    Gorgeous sweater.  I think you have a great eye for picking clothes.  You're looking as fab as always.

  • AviaMariah replied 10 years ago

    I don't think I've seen those shoes before and they are great!!  I love them with the gold sweater and it reminds me of Angie's casual holiday formula.

  • kkards replied 10 years ago

    even from the thumbnail picture, i would tell that top was something special. this is fab casual friday look! and glad that you are back to real shoes!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Emily - thank you for the make up compliment. I'm not used to wearing eyeshadow and usually make my lips the centre of attention. It's fun to try something different.

    Diana - this cape jacket was one of my best consignment finds ever. It has been a workhorse for two years now and shows no sign of slowing down. Such a lucky find!

    karymk - oh my...I'm humbled by your comments. Thank you so much.

    Thank you all so much for your feedback :)

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    Killer in every way. Red lippie, texture, shine, and a retro cape. Shannon casual at her best. 

    Yay for two shoes. 

  • Debra replied 10 years ago

    Gorgeous look Shannon, love everything :) sorry you had to put your moon boot back on :)

  • replied 10 years ago

    I read the description of what you were wearing and I had an image in my imagination... then when I clicked on your photos I wasn't disappointed.. You looked just as fab as I imagined! Just gorgeous. And hurray for both shoes!

  • El Cee replied 10 years ago

    You look amazing -- golden and just glowing! Love the Fluevogs. Sorry that you had to return to the boot, but at least your adorable shoes got to take a brief outing. You look lovely with the burgundy gloss... just as nice as the bright red and a fun little change. Your cape jacket is gorgeous. What a find!

  • Parsley replied 10 years ago

    I absolutely LOVE this outfit on you, Shannon! The metallic sweater and animal print have so much pizzazz!
    I want to see a closeup of your makeup!

    Sorry to hear that you had to put the boot back on, but it sounds like you're making progress, anyway.

  • Aida replied 10 years ago

    Lovely! I read the description before getting to the photos and wasn't sure what to expect without your signature bold red lip. I like the softer gloss with the smokier eye, it's fab! I think it works especially well with the high shine sweater, though going back to bold and red + smoke for a holiday party a la Angie's post today would be super. Lookit you and your two shoes, huzzah ^^

  • peacechick replied 10 years ago

    Agree you look just like what Angie's example would be today :) Congrats on getting back into real shoes and hope the physio goes well.

  • sarah replied 10 years ago

    This looks super fab. Good luck with your recuperation.

  • Windchime replied 10 years ago

    I was going to share your joy about wearing two real shoes and then saw that you had to go back to the boot. But you are making progress!

    I like your idea of building an outfit using footware as inspiration. And you sure pulled it off with style! The result is amazing. Perfect, really.

  • Amy replied 10 years ago

    You look incredible, Shannon. Take it easy on that ankle!

  • Debora replied 10 years ago

    You are a knockout in this, Shannon. The gold goes so well with your coloring. So glad you are back in shoes again!
