WIW: White, yellow & taupe

TGIF!!!

It's a long weekend for Canadians as Monday is a holiday - aren't the Fridays before a long weekend delicious? You know you have three whole days to relax and be with friends and family. I love that :)

Today's outfit started with my white sized up skinnies, rolled as BF's. I've paired the jeans with my yellow and oatmeal striped light knit sweater and then added a recently thrifted taupe leather belt with gunmetal buckle and gunmetal and crystal studs. For footwear I've popped on my taupe pointy toe kitten heels and I'm using my snakeskin handbag which also has shades of taupe in it. Jewelry is a silver ring and my white watch.

Does white, yellow and taupe work together? I would have normally worn white footwear and white belt but wanted to change up those elements to something less expected. As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Sweater: Gap
Jeans: Jessica Simpson
Shoes: Cole Haan
Handbag: Elliott Lucca
Belt and watch: thrifted

BTW after today I will be off the forum for a week and will see you when I'm back :)

    I really like the taupe footwear choice... White wold be pedictable and this adds interest.  Great yellow!

    I like the bookending of shoes and belt, it's unexpected. I like that sweater with the jeans a lot!

    Hope you have a great week!

    I like the color choice of taupe here Shannon - it is def. more interesting than white would have been and it looks great!

  • nancylee replied 10 years ago

    I think this is a great and creative color combo, Shannon!  Enjoy your holiday weekend.  :)

    I love the white and taupe. You're bookending watch and jeans too, clever. You look great. Have a fab week!

  • rae replied 10 years ago

    Also a huge fan of the taupe here! It softens the bright white and ties in the bag. Happy holiday!

    This is superb-alicious! Love the yellow and white combo. Have a good weekend, I wish I weren't on call this one. But at least my vacation is fast approaching!

    Very nice and bright combination...these taupe shoes are a good addition!

  • CocoLion replied 10 years ago

    Fantastic Shannon!  I love this.  Those bf jeans are perfect on you.  Just the right amount of ease, and very flattering.

  • Lisa replied 10 years ago

    The taupe is lovely paired with white, nice and soft so that the yellow stands out. 

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    Definitely works!! You look fresh and pretty. 

  • Thistle replied 10 years ago

    Works to my eye! I just love you in yellow and hire to begin with! Enjoy your long weekend!

  • Beth Ann replied 10 years ago

    Love the taupe.  I think it "grounds" the look, and makes is more modern and grownup.

    Have a great vacation, Shannon!

  • Ingunn replied 10 years ago

    I love it and prefer it to white footwear and accessories here. A great outfit on beautiful Shannon - you look terrific in this! Enjoy your long weekend :)

    I also love white, yellow and taupe.  I clicked on it right away when I saw the subject header. :D  Have a great week away.

  • Joy replied 10 years ago

    I can't e press how much I like this color combination and the print and textures going on. A 10 to my eye!

  • hedgiehog replied 10 years ago

    Great combination! The belt, shoes and bag pull it all together. Happy long weekend and I hope you enjoy your time away.

  • Caro in Oz replied 10 years ago

    Great fit & colours - so summery/long weekendy :)

  • Karie replied 10 years ago

    Another delicious outfit! I like the taupe footwear, I think white shoes would have been too much.

    No Shannon outfit posts for a week? HUH? I need my Shannon outfit fix every day!

  • cobaltblue replied 10 years ago

    YES! Gorgeous. You should get some sort of award for this outfit. Or at least be featured in a magazine.

  • ManidipaM replied 10 years ago

    I knew I would like it from the title already...a fresh, modern summer palette. Daisies in urban grit sort of thing. Great fun to see the improvised boyfriends for a new proportion...a little more individual than regular denims and twice as trendy. And how charmingly the oatmeal marl complements the snakeskin! Very pinnable...if only I could handle wearing yellow!
