Great outfit Shannon. I'm not sure what it is about it (I think it is the contrast) but it all works extremely well. Love the new belt. I am such a sucker for metallics.

Very nice...I especially like the belt and semi-tuck. I am looking for a belt like that too!

Great outfit and fab shoes. Do you go sockless with them? Are they comfy?
-
Transcona Shannon replied 9 years ago
Dianthus - I'm a sucker for metallics too and am still trying to find the perfect pewter/silver metallic belt.
MuseumGal - I do go sockless in these oxfords and they are extremely comfy. I will be honest though in that these shoes took quite a while to break in and become comfortable. Now I can walk all day in them no problem.

I like the white and cream look. The oxfords and top bookend each other extremely well.

I think this is great--but I have to confess, seeing an off-white with white will take some getting used to! But you've done a great job of showing me how it does look good.

Really nice, Shannon! I don't always like off-white with bright white, but the way you've bookended the top with the oxfords really works. Well done!

That's a great top, and indeed looks great against the pure white jeans. Smart pairing! The red lips give you the extra bit of contrast -beautiful! Have a great day :)

You are a master at mixing white with sophistication. It absolutely works!
Love the belt, too. An excellent workday choice!

The semi-tuck really works here. I know you are not usually a "tucker" because of your short-waisted issues. This departure from your usual look of "a top on the outside" is fresh and appealing. I cannot seem to get the hang of the semi-tuck or faux-tuck. I am a "tuck it in or go home" kind of person.

Love this. Inspiration for sure. I don't think I have matured enough to mix white and cream (nor do I own the right pieces) but I can aspire to it someday.
When I read this sentence, "I enjoy wearing my jeans rolled in true BF style but thought it would be nice to show more of that crisp white leg today." All I could think was that if I wanted to show crisp white legs, I would need to roll my pants leg UP! LOL
I really have Danier envy. I've been on their site again recently and am trying to resist a few items, a belt being one of them.

Gorgeous from top to toe. Your red specs and lippie add a nice Retro touch. Shannon, you really DO ooze with style and sass.
I love mixing cream and white too. A fun coincidence that you wore this outfit today - and thanks for linking from the post. xo

Well you know I just adore this Shannon :D Gorgeous mix. The touches of dark in the print pick up superbly on your hair, and the light shoes with the look are a perfect match (plus the perforation keeps it summery). All this lightness makes your bold lippie bring even more attention to your pretty face and hair. Really lovely!

Soooo fab! I love the outfit. Perfect, soft, elegant, but the animal print lends a bit of edge. Perfect!

Absolutely fab outfit, Shannon!
The idea of mixing cream and white used to just about give me hives, but I've grown to like mixing shades like that a lot! (Thanks, Angie!)

Haven't read the other comments because I just had to post right away to say how perfect this outfit is! THIS is the way I like to wear black with white; with a beige supporting act and a red lip. Just stunning! I would wear this outfit in a heartbeat and you really nailed the colors. You look fab and your new belt is perfect with this color scheme. Bookmarking to copy.

Well based on your lovely comments, I'll be repeating this outfit!
Thank you all:)
And yes, thanks to Angie for helping us learn to mix different shades of the same color!

Wow, I almost missed this one! So glad that I did not. What a stunning outfit! I adore that blouse on you. And how fun that you matched the blog!
I couldn't agree more about mixing different shades of the same colour. Before YLF I was terrified to do this. Now I do it all the time. I actually find that animal prints can be a real aid to this mixing, whether they are in a main piece (as here) or in accessories. I don't know what it is about them, but they really seem to work.
