Celine Sunglasses, Madewell Dress, J.Crew Denim Vest, DIY Painted Vintage Brooch (instructions here) Elizabeth and James Blazer c/o, Gap Belt, Miu Miu Pumps, Alexandra DeClaris Clutch

About a week ago, I bought my first denim vest (which is now on sale) since my last one I had in 3rd grade that I paired with a Hypercolor shirt. For such a simple fabric, it adds a nice edge that a light chambray or full jean jacket just don’t offer. I’ve been throwing it over t-shirts and lace dresses, but have also found it’s just as versatile tucked under a blazer on gusty days.

    I love the denim vest brings the edge and casualness to the look. It is great the vest also make the outfit warm for early spring or late fall seasons.

    Very classy! It’s the perfect relaxing Sunday outfit.
    I bought a denim vest from H&M a few summers ago, but it’s been neglected for months. I need to start wearing it this spring!

    Your DIY broach matches that dress perfectly! Still on the fence about the denim vest, but I like it layered here!

    Luci’s Morsels – fashion. food. frivolity.

    This look is horrible. It looks like a mishmash of pieces that you threw together in a poor attempt to keep up with other style bloggers. Your talents lie outside of fashion.

      Yes, totally weird! Thanks for being the brave one to say say, amidst all the blinded gushing.
