See my vest, See my vest
May 19, 2013
It's not made of real gorilla chest, but it is a nice vest. It was a dollar find that I was never able to style to my liking before. I am still not 100% sure it is me... What do you think? Should I keep it or try to sell?

What's it made of? What size? I'll buy it from you if you tire of it!
I think it looks good with the dress!

I really love it on you. That collar! I love the way it goes with your hair. Also love how you've paired it with the vivid, black-containing print.

I know little about fur, but you pull it off to my eye.

Rae, you look amazing. Only you could pair a vest like this with snake and white and end up looking so fantastic!

It looks great on you. The question for me is always - how do I feel in it? If it doesn't feel right then I will never wear it even if it does look good.

YES!!! Snaps to you for your Simpsons reference! Not enough people have seen that episode.

I think you have styled it perfectly! You could be the girl who comes onstage to sing with Adam Levine at the Maroon 5 concert in this outfit.

It looks great with that dress--I like how the dress softens the look. It's a little hard to make out the details on the vest, but I like the collar and the lines of it a lot! I could see it becoming a workhorse year round, with jeans, skinnies, trousers, drapey track pants. But I agree with Caro, how it feels on you should weigh heavily in the decision about keeping it.

Well Denise/Cocolion has completely sold me on this sort of vest so I would look at some of her pictures for inspiration. I like it but am stuck on the is it you question, especially since you are sort of in a state of change right now.

Love this styling and hope you decide to keep it as it really rocks!

I think the styling is perfect with that dress, Rae. I also like the length of the vest with that dress; much more unexpected than a standard cropped vest.

Perfect just as you've styled it.

Thank you, I knew I could count on the collective YLF eye.

Ceit, I've added a close up of the vest - it is a ponte knit by Mike & Chris. I think the size is small, so it is supposed to have that oversized look.
LBD, high five! I am so glad someone recognized the reference!
Shevia, yes, Denise is the reason I bought it! It didn't feel right on me with skinnies, though. Maybe because I was trying to dress it up over blouses, when I should stick to casual tees like she does.

About
I'm just your average working stiff who loves nice things and hates to pay for them. This blog outlines my efforts to navigate that treacherous shopping/saving divide through swappin', thriftin', and even a little resellin'. Many of the pieces in my wardrobe cost me just $1! We've heard a lot about people "living above their means" in recent years; I'm championing the concept of living large *below* your means - whatever that means for you. :)
