WIW: Sveta copycat

I loved Sveta's outfit she posted the other day with her floral frock, white denim jacket and teal handbag. There was something so very fresh about the white jacket over top a floral dress that had a black background - something I had never thought of putting together. So I am shamelessly copying that look today with my floral frock with black background, white denim jacket, green handbag and neutral footwear. 

I hope I did you proud Sveta and thank you so much for the inspiration :)

Dress: Cleo Petite
Jacket: BUM Equipment (thrifted)
Shoes: Boutique 9
Handbag: Cleo

    You look incredible Shannon!  I'm surprised you hadn't thought of this, it looks  very "you".

    Now off to look for Sveta's inspiration outfit... :)

    Looks great Shannon! I ordered a white denim vest, I want to try it with my dresses. You and Sveta inspired me!

  • Eliza replied 10 years ago

    This is one of your best IMO. Gorgeous look from great inspiration.
    That dress fits to perfection and the bag adds even more wow. I need one summer dress outfit that works as well as this one does for you and Sveta. Inspiration all around!

    Gorgeous!

    Your version is fabulous too, Shannon!
    Hi, kitty cat!

  • Karie replied 10 years ago

    Very pretty! I love your green handbag, and apparently kitty does too :)

  • Jaime replied 10 years ago

    Shannon I am glad you managed to fix those shoes because they look perfect here. The jacket and dress are a terrific match and I love the green bag too!

    I just adore YLF copy cat outfits!! And this one is absolutely fresh and lovely, just like its inspiration!

    Love it!

    You look great! I like the white jacket and light shoes with that dress. Very fresh and summery.

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    K-word worthy. You and Sveta are style inspairations :) xo

  • Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

    So fresh and un-fussily feminine.  The white denim jacket keeps a floral from any hints of twee, but still adds some brightness and "pop."

    Hope you feel great today back at work!

    Looks great, and I love the cat shot!

  • unfrumped replied 10 years ago

    Looks great! That dress is a great example of a summery "black" print due to the selection of the fresh colors in the print.

  • MsMary replied 10 years ago

    So fun!  You two are gorgeous style twins!

    I do so love me a white denim jacket...

  • Thistle replied 10 years ago

    Totally terrific!  Great copy cat from a terrific inspiration!

  • Transcona Shannon replied 10 years ago

    Thank you all so much for your lovely comments - all credit goes to Sveta for her great outfit inspiration.

    I may need to look at replacing my floral frock unfortunately - it's getting a bit tired looking in spots and is getting quite a bit of pilling :(

  • replied 10 years ago

    How exciting! You used it all up, and now you can find something else spectacular. Well done, frock!

  • replied 10 years ago

    I remember you saying you were going to try this and it came out great! That white jacket is super sharp against the black background of the dress and your emerald bag is eye-popping arm candy. Love it!

  • Joy replied 10 years ago

    Your floral dress looks even more summery with the white jacket. I love your green bag with this outfit. Lots of inspiration from you and Sveta. There may be at least one more copy cat this week;)

  • Laura (rhubarbgirl) replied 10 years ago

    Very nice, and I really like the cleaner touches of the bag and jacket with the traditional floral print.

  • Sveta replied 10 years ago

    How did I miss this post?!! <jumping up and down in excitement>
    I think you outdid your humble inspiration, Shannon - you look spectacular - but then you always do :-)
    Too bad about the dress but I think it earned a retirement by now - you wore it a lot last year didn't you?
    Actually I must confess that I bought my dress because I liked yours very much: I am not big into florals but this black background and abstract watercolor inspired flowers were just the ticket for me - inspired by you! See what goes around comes around...:-)

    Fab outfit & fab inspiration :)

  • Deborah replied 10 years ago

    Im doing a bit of a happy dance!  Everytime I see this dress it makes me smile.  You always look wonderful it in.  Great pairing with the white jacket!  No need to look anywhere else for inspiration, there is so much of it here on the forum.
