Such a pretty cardi! It seems very versatile and I like the way you've styled it here. The proportions look good to me. Your cape, purse and booties are fab, too!

Oooh! What a great cardi! Is it from the Bay? Gosh, you do well there. I think WInnipeg's store is MUCH better than Kingston's. We get so little here....
I love it with the slouchy trousers and thank you for the shopping...er, styling ideas.... ;-)
That cape is terrific with it all, too.
I see you wear these trousers with both your Sam Edelman's and your Marcies. Even though the heel heights differ. And that seems to work. This is helpful.
The bag is the right choice I think. It looks a bit light for the outfit overall but I suspect it might be the way it photographs.

Thanks Ceit, Rute and Karie!
Suz - yes, the cardigan is from The Bay. I was off from shopping at The Bay for years but have noticed that in the last two years, they have really stepped up their game. Better brands, more size selection and sales more often. I'm sure they can feel Nordstrom breathing down their necks! They do need to improve their customer service though - big time!
As for the shoe/boot options with my slouchy trousers, the way Wonder Woman West tapered the legs, they really will work with almost everything because the heel height doesn't make much difference in how the pant legs drapes, if you know what I mean. I also plan on wearing them with my Jeffrey Campbell three-tone patent oxfords, my blue suede booties and all of my Docs. I'm still debating going and getting the cobalt blue ones and having the legs done the same way.
Have you made a decision on your black slouchy trousers?

Oh, so much happening.
So much drama!
How fabulous.
This neutral outfit (as we know, red is neutral for many of us, and leopard is too - ask MaryK!) is absolutely delightful. If not my favorite outfit on you, then certainly most memorable. Wow wow wow!!!

So great! Of course you must buy something when you've wanted it before the sale AND it's only one in your size. That is a no brainer! I'm glad you found a way to make it work out with the budget.
I LOVE the cape and how it ties this all together!

Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago
Rae - I didn't even notice that! It does look like a vest here doesn't it? Of course it would less so if I was wearing a different coloured top.
Ornella - of course red and animal print are neutrals! I'm so glad MaryK taught us that. And thank you so much for your lovely compliment.
Jenava - I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to buy this sweater. I can see it with all sorts of things and it is crazy good cozy! Glad you like the cape - it's funny how much love it gets on the forum!
Thanks kkards, Lisa and Shedev!

Yes, I thought it was a vest first as well. So it's even more versatile than you imagined, Shannon;-)
I think you made the right decision, it's a beautiful cardi, and you already have so many ideas for how to wear it, and it was a terrific deal, love it!!
The entire outfit looks brilliant on you, and I am in awe of your cape-wearing abilities, so stunning and cheeky!!

You have been doing well at the Bay! I never find anything there, either. I'm glad you were able to get the cardigan at a deal, it looks great! I love it with your red boots and also, I love your cape!

Unusual and striking- a great way to wear animal print without being O.T.T.
You look so cosy and FAB.

A "had to have" I'd say - love the length of it with the pants & the cape is fab too.

Another 10 from you, Shannon! This cardigan is SO fab on you, and I perfectly understand that you bought it. I'm also happy to hear that your home refurbishing is going well.

Love this cardi and can totally relate breaking up your SYB for it as it's not a common one, for sure. Having the sleeves black only, is more slimming and makes a completely other effect. Enjoying the pops of red, including your virtual lipstick, too:-)

The combination of plaid and leopard, with a Sherlock-chic cape shape, no less, just about killed me... and that's before I got to the red leather accents! WOW!
I'm sure that cardi's a versatile buy, given the print and the panels (I like the print blocking, if you will), and I'm sure you'll come up with lots of new outfits to play it in---but I LOVE the print layering of this one. Two classics do add up to extremely modern on you, don't they?

Transcona Shannon replied 11 years ago
Manidipa!!! Oh my - how good to hear from you? We miss you - how are you doing??? I do call this my Sherlock Holmes cape so your reference is spot on (as usual!).
Glad you all like the cardi - I already want to wear it again. I think that's a good sign, don't you?
