InVested

What I'm wearing: J.Crew outlet tee, Old Navy vest and skinnies, Ciao Bella boots via DSW, Scarf via SoHo street vendor, Vintage gold cuff bracelet

This was my Thanksgiving day outfit, and it was purposely chosen because it allowed for large amounts of eating. These are my stretchiest jeans with lots of give in the waist, and this vest can hide even the biggest food baby. But beyond it's ability to hide second helpings of broccoli cheese casserole, I also loved the way this outfit looked. I've loved this vest since the day I bought it and wear it almost weekly. The scarf was a last minute addition to my travel bag, but it couldn't have complemented this outfit any better. Here are some other ways I've worn my vest in the past:

Also, I wasn't quite in the mood to take pictures this day, which resulted in some silly outtakes:

1. The stink-eye
2. The ninja

I'm a goof.

Day 8: Dreaming of Fall

What I'm wearing: Gap tee, Old Navy vest, J.Crew Minnie pants, Target sandals, Vintage necklace, Urban Outfitters earrings, Nails: OPI Pamplona Purple+ Sally Hansen Xtreme Rockstar Pink

So I'm officially about a week behind on posting pictures. Work has gotten CRAZY lately since we are currently understaffed. I'm lucky if I get home by 8 or 9 every night. So lets just say Ohio is starting to look a little more inviting every day. I've been dreaming of getting back to school, of crisp Fall weather, pumpkin cappuccinos, football games, and cozy sweaters. I can't wait to style this vest up like this or with a sweater and boots as soon as Fall is here. Until then, it's proving to be a great summer layering piece...I've already worn it twice so far in my 30 for 30 and have to actively remind myself not to wear it every day, that's how much I love it!

Day 1: Starting off with a Blair

What I'm wearing: Urban Outfitters maxi dress, Old Navy vest, Forever 21 flower pin, Target sandals, Mondani bag via Steinmart

It's day one of my third 30 for 30 challenge! I would love to claim full credit for this ensemble, but I had some help from my style inspiration board on Pinterest. This look was inspired by Miss Blair of Atlantic-Pacific, one of my absolute favorite bloggers. When I saw this vest at Old Navy, I immediately thought of her and all of the great looks she's created with hers. Next thing you know, I was standing in line to buy it and already thinking of how I couldn't wait to recreate this vest + flower look. So here is my interpretation...what do you think?
