A Vest On A Vest- Why Not?
May 20, 2009

In a random styling moment- I ended up wearing a vest on top of another vest. Why not- seemed like a brilliant idea at the time. And with the second vest being such a peculiar one as it is, I think the look works just fine. Definitely something interesting and different.
I’ve worn the blue BCBG vest before and posted on it in the past, but a few weeks ago I had purchased a long black vest that is semi see-through. It is almost a vest-dress really, it is long and has pockets at the side. But, it is still a vest in the top portion design- meaning awkward to wear by itself as it needed some sort of layer beneath it to make it work.
The black vest stops where the picture ends- which makes for an adorable dress- but again, it needs something underneath in order to not be too revealing. So while playing in my closet, I tried it with another vest.


Oh yeah, I also started playing around with my accessories I had forgotten about! Not necessarily for the outfit, but just for play. This was a necklace and earings set that I had dubbed the “rice krispies” accessories- the material is so soft and has a distinct food-like sense about it, I don’t know what it is made of but it is yummy looking.
(And Vanessa, if you’re reading this you’ll remember where they came from maybe! I had nearly forgotten until I recognized the bag it came in, random and unexpected shopping-oh the memories).
Anyway, some random styling but pretty fun in the end- I think I will repeat this look again. It is comfortable and different feel. Plus it is a lovely instance where black and navy look so lovely together.













Totally cute!
You’ve got such a fabulous style … all your own, individualistic and it works, mama! Great ensemble and the jewelry rocks.
Happy weekend,

I am honored by your kind words, Roxy- thank you so much! I love what I do ;D
I love mixing a little imagination with a little history, always interesting and inspiring (at least to me, which keeps me moving forward).
Have a fabulous week, love!
