WIW: White and the forgotten pullover

In my gigantic purge last week, I came across this silk-linen blend teal pullover that I thought I had lost. It had gotten squished behind the other pullovers on my closet shelf and was basically shoved between the shelf and the wall. I was thrilled when I came across it because this fits in with my new comfort and fab fabric style direction.

So today's outfit started with the teal pullover. I should note that I am wearing a white camisole underneath the pullover because of its sheerness and I'm not sure that it's photographing well as a result. I faux tucked the pullover into my white leather belt, which is holding up my TR Brianna white BF jeans. I'm wearing the jeans full length today 'cause my A/C in the office yesterday was positively frigid (they are working on fixing it) and there was no way I was baring my ankles. For shoes I went with my pewter wedge peep toe pumps which echo the silver buckle on my belt and the silver in my watch. They look a bit dark I think but I didn't want to wear my cream oxfords and my feet needed a break from the bone/silver sandal shoes - so I'm going with these. I kept the large cream handbag I used yesterday and my silver wrap watch again (love this watch!).

What do you think? Does this work? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

    Looks good! Hooray for finding the sweater!

  • Deborah replied 9 years ago

    This most definitely works. The colour of the sweater is devine. His is a wonderful example of a more casual outfit that still looks polished and professional.

    This looks like the sea. I love the contrast between the teal and white. What a great find!

  • Elizabeth P replied 9 years ago

    What a wonderful sweater, you must be thrilled to have found it.

    I'm finding something a bit off with the shoes, but I can't put my finger on what it is. I think it's the shape, not the colour. Minor!

    That sweater is a beautiful color, and it looks fab against the white of your jeans. Yay for finding lost items!

  • dustt replied 9 years ago

    it's a terrific color combo - the teal is a great color with your skin & hair and I like that the metallic of the wedge is just a wee bit darker!! - It looks comfy and cool and very put together!!

  • Ingunn replied 9 years ago

    Wonderful colors! You look pulled together and comfortable. Great re-find, Shannon! Don't you just love it when that happens?

  • sarah replied 9 years ago

    Lovely! I'm glad you are reunited with that lovely sweater.

  • Robidi replied 9 years ago

    You look fantastic in teal!

  • missvee replied 9 years ago

    Teal is a fabulous colour for you. I can see the outfit with black cut out booties too for an edgier look if you fancy a change.

  • Transcona Shannon replied 9 years ago

    Elizabeth - I agree - there is definitely something off about the shoes. Oh well....too late now :)

    Thanks all for the teal sweater love!

  • Jaime replied 9 years ago

    Perfect semi-tuck and I love the jeans with the white belt!

  • JG replied 9 years ago

    More teal sweater love from me! Some color experts consider teal a universal color, but it's tricky on me - too light and I look uninteresting, too dark and I look sickly, too blue, etc so I don't even try. But on you!!!

  • jackiec replied 9 years ago

    One of my fav colour combos! So crisp! You look great! Too bad about the frigid AC at work - I hate that :(

  • Neel replied 9 years ago

    Please don't loose the top again!! :). It looks beautiful on you! And with the white it is absolutely stunning.

  • texstyle replied 9 years ago

    I also love the white jeans with the white belt and you look great in the teal. Perfect comfy, stylish outfit!

  • Angie replied 9 years ago

    GREAT look. That's a gorgeous colour on you, Shannon. And white jeans are always fab. xo

  • Suz replied 9 years ago

    Stunning outfit, Shannon! This colour is beautiful on you. 

  • kellygirl replied 9 years ago

    Wow! Teal is terrific on you! I love it, Shannon. You look fab!

  • replied 9 years ago

    Such a lovely coloured sweater Shannon, I love it! The accents of silver are fab as is the bag. The shoe colour tone with the silver really well. Looking good!

  • Dee replied 9 years ago

    You look great!  Love the outfit.

  • Susie replied 9 years ago

    Oh I love the color and it looks wonderful on you. And white makes everything extra fab!

  • Marley replied 9 years ago

    You look great Shannon!  This outfit is so simple and yet so stylish and chic!  AND - in case you didn't already know it - that teal color is one of your best!

  • Mo replied 9 years ago

    Love it! So glad you rediscovered the sweater. Great color for spring, incidentally, too!

  • MsLuna replied 9 years ago

    Isn't it great when you find something hidden in your closet that is truly a gem! That colour works wonderfully on you, Shannon!

    Also, I saw your last WIW with the EF dress. I'm really liking the direction your style shift is going! I noticed the looks seem to be more simple, streamlined yet comfortable! I'm really looking forward to more!

    Beautiful top color. I don't think the shoes are too dark at all, since gray-blues are nice bookending with the top, and also they're open and summery.

  • shedev replied 9 years ago

    Beautiful top. I think the shoes bookend with your hair nicely.
