WIW: Spring Flowers

April 15, 2015

Another warm day in The 'Peg so more bare legs and spring looks :)

Today's outfit started with my favourite wardrobe item of all time - my black EF drape front dress. Remember this one? This is probably the most worn item I have ever owned and I will be wearing it a ton again this Spring/Summer.

I topped the dress with my floral silky bomber jacket, scrunching the sleeves to add some structure.

My PF is acting up a bit today due to a lengthy walk last evening so chose my Naot shoes for comfort (note to self: need to source extremely comfortable and supportive running shoe). I'm falling more in love with these shoes each time I wear them.

I didn't have time this morning to change out my handbag so I hope the citron looks ok with this.

So does this all work together? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Jacket: Smart Set
Dress: Eileen Fisher (eBay)
Shoes: Naot
Handbag: Sergio Ferretti

    I'm loving your springtime looks, Shannon. Great bomber! I totally think the citron bag works, in fact I think it adds to the Spring effect. It echoes nature blooming away in all its glorious colour. Perfect!

    Fab! I am surprised every time I read these shoes are Naot and think I must check them out! And get a floral jacket.

    Gorgeous! That bag is stunning!!!

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    This is a terrific and fun look on you, Shannon. That bag was the best buy of the year! 

  • AJ replied 10 years ago

    Looking lovely, Shannon! The floral bomber and shoes add a touch of feminine playfulness (because they are not as serious as a blazer and pumps) that I adore. YLF!

    This floral bomber is fantastic! And this is a great look. Well done!

  • Elizabeth P replied 10 years ago

    Of course I remember the dress :)
    Great look Shannon... I am hoping to find a floral bomber at some point myself, it really does add some fun to an outfit.  This looks so fresh.
    I saw it was going to 24 there today... WOW!!

    Citron has to be a neutral. It looks great with anything. I think that EF dress is the same one that a friend has and probably wears 4-5 times a week. The beautiful floral jacket gives it a great spring look. YLF.

    Terrific!  I love it!

  • Sara L. replied 10 years ago

    Great look!  I love the colors in your floral jacket.  Those shoes are great with the straps that cross in front.  Dramatic yet simple.

    Thanks everyone :)

  • Karie replied 10 years ago

    That floral bomber is beautiful and it looks fab with your EF dress. I predict a lot of wears for both items!

  • Karin L H replied 10 years ago

    Great look! Love that bomber jacket.

  • Astrid replied 10 years ago

    Of course it works! You look great, Shannon.

  • Carole replied 10 years ago

    Such a beautiful bomber! Love how you've used it here:)

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    Killer

    And brought a Spring smile to my face.

    Thank you again ladies - it's funny, when I bought this floral bomber it was quite a wildcard for me. Although I have always loved florals (especially on a dark background), a bomber jacket wasn't quite "me" due to the lack of structure. But I've ended up wearing this item much more than I thought I would so once again - you just never know do you?

  • jackiec replied 10 years ago

    LOVE all of this. The black, the floral, the shoes, and especially the pop of citron. Wow. Enjoy the heat in the 'Peg ;)

  • Aida replied 10 years ago

    Fun! The floral really brings the black to life. Citron bag totally works to my eye, it picks up on the bits of yellow in the jacket :)

  • Keturah replied 10 years ago

    SUPERB! I love that jacket, and the shoes and bag are just fun!


    xoxo. Mille says hi :)

  • MTBGirl replied 10 years ago

    Superb outfit! That jacket seems like it was made for you and your coloring!

  • Sarah A replied 10 years ago

    Looking great! I love the little V created at the top of the criss-cross straps on your shoes :)  I like the longer bomber with the dress too (as opposed to a cropped jacket length)...
