WIW: Red & Gold

This is a different colour combination for me and quite fall like. I picked up these red jeans (waving at Mona - red jean twin) in early summer and have been waiting for the cooler weather to bring them out. I love the deep red colour and the fact that I didn't have to hem them! I've paired them with an animal print, knot front tank and topped that with my gold linen blazer. It's still early enough in fall to wear the linen blazer but I'll have to put it away in the next couple of weeks.

I've been getting itchy to wear my necklaces again (yay Team Necklace) so pulled out a mixed metals necklace, my gold oversize watch and my snakeskin handbag for accessories. For footwear, I chose my Pura Lopez brown suede bootie sandals.

What do you think of this ensemble? Do the colours and proportions work? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Jeans: Reitmans
Tank: Nygard
Jacket: Talbots (thrifted)
Shoes: Pura Lopez
Handbag: Elliot Lucca
Necklace: Lia Sophia
Watch: thrifted

    I like it Shannon! Really great colours on you, and the red jeans are excellent!

    I love those dark red jeans on you! The fit is perfect. Your animal prints and necklace are just the things to go with the spicy red. Mmm-mmm!

    I love the gold jacket on you and it looks great with the red jeans, which are great in themselves.

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    This is a fabulous into-fall transition outfit, Shannon! You've evoked the warm colours but kept it all light....it's gorgeous.

    I might just have to go check out those red jeans. They are terrific! Leave no retail stone unturned, as Angie says.

    Love your necklace, too!

    Oh I'm sooooo relieved - whenever I try a different colour combination for me, I wonder if it translates well to real life as opposed to how it looks in my head!

    Thanks for the positive feedback.

  • Angie replied 11 years ago

    Wow!

    KILLER Autumn look - especially with the bag in #3.

  • MNsara replied 11 years ago

    Great pairing of the leopard with the dark red and camel! It does have a distinctly autumnal feel. Your fab handbag adds a lot of sophistication to the outfit ;-)

    Looks like the Elliot Lucca handbag was a great NAS buy for me (and the others who bought it as wel) - thanks for pointing it out Angie!

    Isn't it WONDERFUL not to have to hem pants? Really like the jacket, pants and bag together. These are unusual colors together but they work.

  • Krista replied 11 years ago

    What a great mix of items, Shannon! I would not have thought to put these things together but they look fab on you. And the jeans are from Reitman's, hmm? I'll have to check those out ;)

  • Beth Ann replied 11 years ago

    Yummy! You look fab in this combination. Love the animal print with the red. How do you manage to look so great every day?

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    I love it, and you have me so antsy for fall!

  • Kiwichik replied 11 years ago

    I love seeing red & leopard together. This works really well.

  • Mona replied 11 years ago

    you can never go wrong with red and leopard and gold. I wore almost similar combination yesterday while visiting Thames.
