WIW: Singing the Blues

Today I'm wearing various shades of blue with white and a touch of black. I started with these dark navy/ink blue trousers. Then I added my white with blue animal print blowsy top and finished it off with my blue vintage blazer. For footwear I'm wearing my Clarks black sandals (hopefully can wear shoes next week - the toe is healing well) and my black with white trim leather handbag. Jewelry is my oversized gold watch.

You'll notice I have another colour coordinated kitty with Dusty Bottom!

Does this colour combination work? Proportions ok? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Blazer: vintage
Top: Reitmans (thrifted)
Trousers: NJP Petites
Sandals: Clarks
Handbag: Danier Leather (thrifted)

    There's that cool blazer again!

    I like this outfit a lot, the blues and blacks look very nice together.

    Of course it works! I love blue and black together. You look great. :)

    Love this! I wore a very similar outfit today but the color scheme was navy, brown and cream:). I really like this type of combo on you Shannon, it's really put together and slick.

  • Makrame replied 11 years ago

    This is great, and I like your color-coordinated furry accessory!

    Your thrift finds are amazing, as usual.

    Beeeeauuutiful!!!!!

  • Suz replied 11 years ago

    You are the prettiest bruise I've ever seen (black and blue). And it's great you match kitty.

    That blue is lovely on your Shannon. Although, honestly, you look pretty darned amazing in every colour I've seen you wear.

    I love that jacket on you! Fantastic outfit - you are hitting them all out of the park.

    Thanks all - pre YLF I never would have combined blue with black and now I think it's one of my favourite colour pairings.

  • Sara L. replied 11 years ago

    Great outfit! I like the blue and black together, although I wasn't expecting too. Navy blue just isn't one of my favorite colors.

  • Angie replied 11 years ago

    So chic! Kitty adds extra pattern mixing potential to your outfit.

  • rae replied 11 years ago

    Yep, blue with black is a fave of mine, too! So rich looking.

  • catgirl replied 11 years ago

    Oh, Shannon, you look so tall and elegant in this outfit! LOVE IT!

  • JR replied 11 years ago

    Wearing my colours are you? ;o)

    Seriously, Shannon, this outfit flatters and slims you so well, it's awe-inspiring. And the colours work very well on you too. I am taking notes.

    Shannon, this looks so great on you - no wonder you were saying you were kind of going back to separates and away from dresses. Not that you don't look great in dresses too. But this is so chic and flattering on you! Love the blue with the black.

  • Mona replied 11 years ago

    As always, you look so elegant and well put together. Blue and black look beautiful together.

  • annagybe replied 11 years ago

    You and kitty are both fabulous! Hope your toe continues to heal rapidly.

  • MsMary replied 11 years ago

    This is so fab I can hardly stand it! I just love your sassy poses, too! And Kitty is the icing on the cake!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago

    Both Dusty and I thank you for your kind words! I'll be glad when I can wear closed shoes though - my poor piggies were chilly today!

  • Caro in Oz replied 11 years ago

    Relaxed chic - you look great. I love black & blue together.

  • JulieJohn replied 11 years ago

    Resplendent!

  • cciele replied 11 years ago

    That shade of blue is so fantastic on you I can't comment on anything else right now. Please wear more of this color!

  • morethanbeige replied 11 years ago
