WIW: Slouchy & new-ish floral top

June 10, 2013

I bought this top about two months ago and have been waiting for summer to arrive to pull it out. It's an interesting floral-type print and I love the oversized look and all the colours in it. I've semi-tucked it into my black slouchy trousers and added my black Clarks sandals for footwear. Accessories include my green handbag and a simple oversized black/white men's watch. I think the top would work well with white bottoms too.

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

Top: Cleo Petite
Trousers: Joe Fresh
Sandals: Clarks
Handbag: Cleo
Watch: Calvin Klein (thrifted)

    Gorgeous top, Shannon! It looks great with black pants and I think white would look very fresh for Summer.

    How did I know it would be "Cleo Petite"? You look terrific and my compliments once again to the magical clothes fairy known as Cleo Petite.

    You look great, the colour is stunning with the black and I think we will be seeing a lot more of this top over summer :)
    Love the green bag too...

    Super outfit. I agree about the whitepants, the ones you wore the other day would be great.

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    So pretty, Shannon. I'd love it especially on a cloudy summer day.

    Great top! I agree, I think with white bottoms and your silver and white sandals would be an excellent look too.

    Love the grown-up floral and the modern proportions, Shannon.  And how comfortable this would be be!  This top would do well in a summer travel capsule, because it could work with so many bottoms.

    Adore the green bag!

    The top is gorgeous, but the green bag really takes this outfit to the next level. I love how expertly you accessorize your outfits!

    Sorry I'm so late in getting back to this thread - it has been one CRAZY day!

    Thank you for your lovely comments. The outfits was indeed very comfy and I'm looking forward to wearing the top in other outfits.

    Great outfit!  Those are my favorite colors in a floral pattern...

  • Deborah replied 10 years ago

    This is such a lovely top and I love it on you Shannon.  Beautiful and simple combo and the green bag is a little unexpected and I really like it.  I could imagine red footwear too an alternative.
