Now listen very carefully... All black is not boring:). It is elegant, chic, edgy modern, stylish....all the things this outfit is:). Those shoes are brilliant. This outfit looks effortless. You look amazing. I feel a copycat coming on.

Nice outfit. This is helping me think about ways to style some textured jeans that I'm struggling to wear.

Definitely not boring...LOVE the pants especially. However, I confess wanting to see something at the neckline....dark scarf? necklace? I am far from an expert, and I struggle with long sleeved black tops myself.

Boring? Never! The shoes star when they are not competing with your adorable clutch. I love the patterned pants.

Agreeing with everyone here, not boring at all! The black outfit has different textures which makes it interesting by itself. Add killer shoes and the *bag of envy* :D and you are done! I must admit I first opened the last pic to check out the shoes :D ..... your description of it sounded so drool worthy! And I wasn't disappointed! Love the pair! Off to wipe some drool off!

Deb - ha ha! I knew you'd have to chime in and saying that all black is not boring - lol!
Aquamarine - I don't really wear scarves (used to but I've gotten away from them) but I did think about a necklace. Thank you for the suggestion.
Neel - the "bag of envy" - so cute!
So I have scrunched my sweater sleeves which IMHO has given the outfit a bit of a better feel - more structure and have decided that due to the impact of the shoes and the fairly strong texture of the pants, simple is a better way to go here.
Thanks for the feedback ladies :)

Not boring, Shannon! I love the mix of texture and subtle pattern. And the bag makes it all pop. But I'll tell you what. When I make the transition to more darker tones in winter I find it difficult for a while. It's harder to see the detail and it doesn't always photograph as well. I sometimes see it all as looking harsh (on me). And maybe it does (on me!) But sometimes I think it's just the change that makes me see it that way.

Yes, the shoes are marvelous! You look terrific, and I think the textures are really interesting, and would be even more so up close.

No way boring; rather, classy and fun!

The shoes and bag are fabulous, but you're the star!

I just know this outfit is even better in person. Dark colors and textures are hard to capture. I like it a lot--and the funky Fluevog shoes are drool-worthy :)

An outfit where the shoes are the star?? AND they are black and white?? How could that possibly be boring??!!

you are the above the title star, the shoes are the co-star, and the pants are the supportive best friend!

Not boring at all, Shannon!! You have the textured pants, the fluid silhouette and the animal print footwear and clutch (with a fun pop of red), so lots of interest going on. This is a great outfit!

Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago
Thank you all so much for reassuring me that this isn't boring. I've been quite comfortable all day running around and these shoes have generated a fair bit of buzz in the office - lol!

It's been covered, but ... not boring at all! I agree that the shoes are much better with plain laces. All that luxe, dark texture really sets off your glowing skin and cheerful red smile.

I missed this earlier but glad I caught it now. Love the shoes and the whole thing!

The pattern on the pants does come through in the photos and adds interest on top of your fab accessories

Boring?! Look, no disrespect, Shannon, but may I get you one of those pocket dictionary things for Christmas? (Excuse me, am clearly not Gen X... Doubtless there's an app these days)
Only thing is I don't think the shoes can outshine you on top of the pants and clutch. Which makes YOU the star of the show. And I don't think you can or want to top that.
