Ok, first Neel and now you. Both of you have totally shaken my belief about dresses and sneanks. Love this outfit, Shannon! The floral jacket and bright sneaks take a plain black dress from boring to awesome.

Shannon I'm inspired! I still can't bring myself to do the dressy sneaks outfit but now that I have seen this I may just give it a try;).
This is cool! I love how the vans have colour and they are not a true athletic shoe )I haven't quite come to that party yet). Nice styling and you look gorgeous!

You are the EF lookbook as far as I a concerned!

This totally works for me and I think it's the Vans. I have had a hard time with this look using running shoes because it reminds me too much of my work/commuter days when we all wore sneaks but then changed into real shoes at the office. But the Vans are so sleek and the color blends seamlessly with your outfit. Nice job with this trend!

Ha!! Should have known you would nail this as well as you nail everything else you try! This is fabulous fun, Shannon. Just terrific.
Your closet has always been a fab one. But you have now edited and curated it so that it's even more fab.
As to the EF dress, I am jealous as a sibling that I can't wear it. Love it, love the idea of it, and love the look of it. It's the perfect "everything" dress.

*clapping hands* (and yes, I really do clap my hands when I'm happy!)
So glad you all think this works. I feel really good in this and have already had a couple of compliments about the outfit.
I think this works for me personally because of the Vans, as you've noted. I'm pretty sure I would not enjoy the outfit as much with a true athletic sneaker or something with big laces, etc.
Mona, spoff, Deborah - maybe you'll give the sneaks with dress a go???
Suz - I will fully admit that this is the happiest I have been with my closet - EVER! I've edited, edited, edited and worked at finding what is right for my body and lifestyle. I have less in my closet than I have in years and rotate my items with much more frequency but I truly enjoy getting up in the morning and getting dressed. I'm sorry the EF dress didn't work for you (for once my ample curves worked in my favor!) but you can wear J Crew and I can't - so back at ya with sibling jealousy - lol!

Pretty fascinating. I opened the post with some trepidation.
I wonder if my eye sees the Van's, in this color and style, and also combined with your brilliant use of floral, as almost an espadrille. Definitely does not look like the lunch-hour power-walkers.

Hmm. Food for thought. I've been contemplating sneaks with a skirt to the office, but I haven't come up with anything yet that feels right.
-
Transcona Shannon replied 9 years ago
Beth Ann - my feet are incredibly happy today!
unfrumped - what an excellent observation! These shoes probably do skew towards the espadrille style paired with summer florals.
Rachy - for me, it was definitely the shoes not looking like athletic sneakers that made this feel right. Would love to see your rendition!
Thanks all - I'll be wearing this outfit again :)

I like how the sneakers don't call attention to themselves but keep the eye moving around the outfit by picking up the pink in the jacket. There is something delicious about wearing comfy cute shoes in the office. It feels like a treat.
