WIW: Sci Fi Friday

Today I'm going to be moving a bunch of medical equipment and reaching up and crouching down a lot so a dress just wasn't going to work for my activities. But I looked at this as an opportunity to break out my new sci-fi inspired Eileen Fisher metallic short sleeved top. 

I've paired this shiny beauty with my white BF jeans and a wide wide leather belt, with a faux tuck. This top faux tucks perfectly and stays put. 

For footwear I've added my bone/silver sandals which are now absolute faves in my closet. I love how the silver straps bookend the silver top. I've added my light cream satchel for my handbag and jewelry consists of a silver ring and a cream/green acrylic bangle made by a local artist. 

I'm over the moon with happiness on this outfit - I'm loving the mix of whites (pure white, light cream, bone), something I never would have done pre YLF.

What do you think? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

    Beautiful! I was going to wear my white jeans today too, rain be darned but I have some dirty boxes to move so it wasn't a good idea!

    Stunning! This is simple, modern elegance at its best. Shannon you are looking amazing. I am noticing a difference in your figure particularly in the hip area. Those white jeans are such a good fit.

  • Mochi replied 10 years ago

    Future looks really good here, Shannon. I love those sandals. You have a way of transforming shoes that look okay into majorly delightful footwear and outfit components when they're on your feet, combined with all your other stylish pieces. You look great.

    Great outfit!  I love the way the metallic top is echoed in the strap on your sandals.

  • Jaime replied 10 years ago

    You were so smart to buy those shoes. I love the silver with silver and the mix of whites and the jeans look truly splendid on you!

  • Joy replied 10 years ago

    Brilliant! One of your best! *standing ovation*

    Shannon, this is gorgeous! Those sandals have already paid for themselves, don't you agree? They are incredibly versatile in your wardrobe, and e very clever choice. I LOVE the metal and shades of white.

    My inner nerd is THRILLED by this :D :D :D    You look AWESOME.  I can't decide what my favorite part is - the shoes?  The top?   Oh, wait, I know... it's your big smile at how AWESOME you look  :D  .

    This is for you.  If anyone gives you a hard time today, just quote Kirk:

    Deborah - thank you so much :)

    Mochi - your comments about the shoes are very interesting because I was thinking how these didn't look that exciting from the stock photo and yet take on a completely different personality when on the foot. I think that's why so many posts with links to items asking whether or not we should order are difficult - how it looks in the pic can be completely different to how it looks on.

    Joy - you can sit down now - lol!

    Shevia & Ingunn - yep, these shoes are perfect for me!

    La Belle - OMG - how did you know I'm a HUGE Trekkie??? LOVE IT - thanks!

    Thank you for your lovely comments Ceit and Andrea :)

    Brilliant!! No wonder your happiness factor was high, Shannon. This is just so fantastic! You are seriously making me want a pair of those shoes! 

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    KILLER

    You knew that right? :)

  • rae replied 10 years ago

    LOVE. So glad you kept that top. It is stellar!

  • Janet replied 10 years ago

    I absolutely love this. Can I just say this is the first time I have been tempted by EF anything? If I hadn't already bought a silver top recently, I'd be trying this too! You look gorgeous.

  • Raisin replied 10 years ago

    That is some serious sci-fi fabulosity!

  • rachylou replied 10 years ago

    You sport those shoes perfectly! I'd end up looking flat-footed, I'm sure.

    But haha - I'm having a *normal* moment: You really gonna move *furniture* in that fancy tee?

    I should not talk. I've been known to wear ballgowns to do housework ;>

  • Thistle replied 10 years ago

    YLF!!! Seriously awesome. Love, love, love the sci fi touches.

  • MsMary replied 10 years ago

    Those shoes with that top?  OMG FAB!!!

  • Caro in Oz replied 10 years ago

    Perfect :)

  • Runcarla replied 10 years ago

    You just keep hitting the mark, without loosing who you are in the outfits. I love this outfit. What a way to end the week.

  • JulieJohn replied 10 years ago

    Aiiiyeeee! That is the sound of me screaming with delight! Silver with multi-whites is so deevine I can't stand it.

    I think this top would go great with blue jeans, something like a classic blue convertible car with chrome trim.

    Now I'm off to faint on my Star Trek TOS bedspread! (*I wish*)

  • Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

    Love the richness of the metallic. It gives such nice depth with its shine. Needless to say the silhouette is stellar.
