A Vested Interest

Guess Heels\F21 Leather Pants\American Apparel Tank\Calvin Klein Clutch\Express Belt & Cuffs\Fumblin' Foe Vest (c/o Collage Boutique)


I must say my fashion senses are highly attuned to exceptional outerwear, which is the only downfall when it comes to summer and its warmer temperatures. However, even though I am currently shedding those extra winter layers for a cooler and much lighter wardrobe, I am always searching for exceptional layering pieces for spring. I have been searching high and low for those lovely pieces of outerwear to add to my current spring wardrobe, and stumbled across this vest in the process.

I must say that I was so excited by the versatility of it that I was almost tempted to shoot it being worn in many different ways. It can be left open to swing from side to side or even buttoned down the front, and the buttons and collar leave a wide range of options when it comes to styling. However, I decided to belt it and add those leather pants that have been tucked away in the back of my closet just longing to come out and play for some months now...

Looks like with spring arriving we are all just dying to come out and play, and do it in a fresh new wardrobe as well.

  3. Great look! Loving the sleeveless jacket look for spring and have been playing with fun ways to incorporate it into my looks. Love the color, cut and length on this one...and the addition of the high contrasting color belt!
