bringing "old lady" back

My best friend makes fun of this vest, she says it's an old lady vest. Well, if old lady vests are wrong, then I don't want to be right. I love this vest. I bought it dirt cheap at Plato's Closet in Dallas. It is one of my favorite things yet had been sitting in my closet, unworn and unloved for over a year. I am officially bring it back. Hell, I'm bringing old lady vests back. Get ready.

Today in a coffee shop two women came up to me in line to ask me to take off my purse so they could get a better look at my vest. They asked if I made it myself. I wish I was so crafty! I would make one in every color!












Vest: from Plato's Closet
ButtonUp: GAP
Belt, Shoes, Earrings: Target
Skirt: Banana Republic (resale)
Tights: Kohl's

  1. I approve of the vest! I have a pair of oxfords I bought at Value Village known among my friends as the "old man shoes." You gotta embrace the craziness of fashion, right?

  6. Thanks Rach and Greer! I love these tights. They have a small hole in the toe but I nail polished it up because I sooooo don't want to toss them!
