WIW: White, yellow & cognac

Ever since Inge found me this Gap sweater last summer (waving to Inge) and showed me how white, yellow and cognac can work together, I've been slightly obsessed with the colour combination. 

Today's outfit started with my TR Brianna white baby BF jeans to which I added my yellow and oatmeal striped light weight sweater. I would have normally chosen my animal print belt for the first hit of cognac and some pattern mixing, but I've been missing some of my vintage elements lately so chose instead my vintage men's tribal leather belt. To further play up the cognac accents, I am wearing my Blondo bone and cognac sandals and am using my cognac vintage-inspired Fossil handbag. Jewelry is my gold wedding ring and an old thrifted copper coloured watch.

I don't think I have the length of the jeans right - does the cuff need to be a bit higher? 

What do you think of this combination? How are the proportions? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Sweater: Gap
Jeans: True Religion Brianna (eBay)
Sandals: Blondo
Handbag: Fossil
Belt: vintage
Watch: thrifted

    I like the cognac with the yellow and white!

    I think your jeans to be shorter, so you can see skin between the top of the sandal and the cuff of the jeans.

    Super combo! I agree with Ceit about rolling the hems up just a tad more.

    Have fixed the cuff ladies -I made it a smidgen narrower but one roll higher. Thanks!

    Love the cognac accents with this. Agree that the roll could be a bit higher but really you look fab as is.

    Love this. The cognac accent is perfect and you look amazing in that sweater. And Shannon, your hair is looking really great.

    Looking lovely, casual and lean.

  • merwoman replied 10 years ago

    Thinking along the same lines of Deborah - your hair is looking even more fantastic than usual. Seems slightly shorter and maybe sleeker? Outfit is fab - what a fresh (to me) colour combo. I've got a lot of love for cognac and will be trying this out!

    Thank you ladies - I'm so glad I'm wearing pants and a sweater today. It is positively freezing in my office today :(

    Ahhhh....my hair...well it's actually the longest it's been in some time now and I'm loving the swideswept bang. I have changed the product I'm using in my hair as of about two weeks ago so that it's less "poufy" and stiff looking and more natural and free-moving. I'm much preferring it this way. Thank you for the lovely compliments.
