Thrifting Queen

WIW: Soft Neutrals

October 4, 2013

Today's outfit started with my Cameron BF's to which I paired one of my favourite pullovers. This sweater is just the perfect weight IMHO and drapes beautifully. I've added an Angie faux-tuck to show a wee bit of the snakeskin belt. For footwear I chose my beige Tom suede booties and my handbag gives a double dose of snakeskin as per Angie's handbag-belt bookending trick. When I head out the door, I'll add my white leather jacket. Jewelry is my gold wedding band and rose gold/black watch.

I like the soft colour palette in this outfit - it's soothing at the end of a hectic and tiring week.

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

Sweater: Nygard
Jeans: True Religion
Boots: Toms
Belt: Olsen Europe
Jacket: Danier Leather
Handbag: Elliott Lucca

    Nice, Shannon. Calming, simple and a touch of chic. I think I will take inspiration here for today or this weekend, since I have most of the essential elements.

    You are giving us a great example of belt- bag bookending. The white really makes the outfit shine.
    I want to copy this outfit too, but it is still too warm for a jacket or even the sweater. Thank you for the inspiration!

    Gorgeous. Love the soft colours!

    Love this on you! I agree completely about that pullover. It's a great shape for you. And the snakeskin bag with the leather jacket is so fab. It all works beautifully with the jeans.

    Great finish to a banner week Shannon!

    Wow-- I love how you've started combining more white into your look. It is just as striking with your hair and coloring as the black. The jacket really finishes this outfit.

    Ooh - I like this, and I'm going to copy you today!  **off to get dressed!**

  • celia replied 10 years ago

    This is a beautiful outfit. You know how to do  soft as well as edgy.
    amiable is right, this  is very copycat worthy :)

    Shannon this is a wonderful outfit! Fab with the leather jacket

  • catherine replied 10 years ago

    Wow, Shannon.  I would definitely use Angie's "K" word to describe this one.

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    Killer

    My type of outfit. 

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Adding white to my wardrobe has probably been the single most important "tweak" to my style over the past three months. I now can't imagine NOT having white items.

    Thanks all - and Angie, what a lovely thing to say :)

    Pretty pretty!

    Wearing white makes me nervous. I just know I'm going to spill motor oil or something on it..lol. I admire you ladies who can wear it with aplomb!

  • replied 10 years ago

    More love from me (as I sit here in my jammies) you do inspire me to get dressed. 

  • merwoman replied 10 years ago

    What do I think? Is there anything you can't wear!!! Awesome look, you just know how to put it altogether.

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Amy - do you walk around carrying motor oil very often? - lol!

    Thanks Tracina and Merwoman :)

  • MsMary replied 10 years ago

    Oh my gosh!  This is fab with just the basic pieces, and the jacket and bag make it really sing!!  LOVE!!

I started playing dress up when I was 4 years old and haven't stopped since! My income doesn't match my tastes so it's all about figuring out how to thrift my way to a fashionable life while tossing in a few delectable items.
