WIW: New animal print pumps

I recently ordered these Cole Haan animal print pumps from The Bay and they arrived yesterday. All I can say is LOVE THEM! They are not as grey as they appeared on the website but the card inside the shoe box indicated that because the shoes are made with actual calf hair that the dye process results in different colouring for every pair of shoes. In fact, I prefer the colour that they actually are so that is just fine by me :)

I chose to debut my new shoes with soft black hose, black knit pencil skirt and my asymmetrical ruched tank. On top of that I added my purple Amber Sun jacket. I found out yesterday that my new boss' favourite colour is purple. Why not wear it right? 

I went with my oversized print clutch for a bit more interest and some pattern mixing with the shoes and for jewelry, chose my gold mesh bracelet. Whoops…forgot my lipstick for the pic but you know how that looks.

For anyone wanting to know, the shoes run TTS and fit my bunion no problem so I would say work for a normal width foot with wider tendencies. SUPER comfy.

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

Jacket: Amber Sun
Tank: Attitude by Jay Manuel
Skirt: Cleo Petite
Hose: Hue
Shoes: Cole Haan
Clutch: XOXO (thrifted)
Bracelet: Michael Kors

    Another winner, Shannon! Fab shoes for your collection. I'm looking forward to seeing how you incorporate them into other outfits in the future.

    Home run! Love the combo!

  • lyn67 replied 10 years ago

    Brilliant! I was even wondering if you have ordered them rather  in beige eventually. I would almost call them taupe:-). As you know, I cannot pass over  the biggest clutch in the world without mentioning it's fabness, too:-))

    Love the new pumps with the sheer stockings, the mix with the oversized clutch and the interesting neckline, in other words the whole thing!

    First of all, I love that purple jacket on you! That's such a rich, gorgeous color. And the shoes look great! A fun print and comfy too? It doesn't get any better than that!

    Love the outfit, and that you wore your bosses favorite color :)

    Shoes are so fab!! And Cole Haans tend to be so comfy!

  • Neel replied 10 years ago

    Saving for future reference :). I bought a similar colored boucle jacket yesterday and was wondering how to wear it. Wouldn't have thought of pairing animal print with it!

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    You look sharp. WOW. xo

    Really nice!

  • Deborah replied 10 years ago

    The pumps are lovely. I think you will be so pleased with these. I have animal print grey and black wedge heel pumps and they have been the most versatile shoes. I think these will work with so much in your wardrobe:). Outfit is totally fab:)

    Very beautiful, Shannon! I love your new pumps.  I also love how exuberantly happy you look in these photos.  Nothing so pretty as joy! 

  • Jjsloane replied 10 years ago

    I love the pumps (big surprise) but am concerned with mixing snakes and cats. Yikes. 
    Well it works for you and I'm hoping all played nice throughout the day. 

  • Eliza replied 10 years ago

    Gorgeous!   And a complete slam dunk when you stir in the comfort level.  Thanks for sharing! YLF...

    Oh my - I'm sorry I didn't get back to this earlier. Work is very busy and when I get home my brain is mushy from learning new things all day. As I settle in more it is my hope I'll be able to participate more and read and comment on all if your wonderful threads.

    I felt great in this outfit and the shoes were fantastic. Lots of running around today and not a moment of discomfort.

    I'm going to try and post this weekend about my observations and thoughts regarding my new co workers' style and what I'm faced with.

  • pil replied 10 years ago

    Great shoes, Shannon. The heels look perfect for comfort.

  • Joy replied 10 years ago

    Those are great little pumps. They will fit well into your wardrobe. You look professional, yet approachable

  • Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

    So glad the pumps are working well for you!  A new pair of shoes can up the style quotient and the happiness factor with little fuss.  Yeah!
