Repeat Action


 Linda Farrow for the Row Sunglasses.  DIY Necklace (available on Etsy here).


My weekly ensembles felt incomplete without this Charlotte Ronson vest thrown into the mix, and therefore it's had quite the repeat action. The buttery soft leather and furry lining kept me perfectly warm, and bulky jackets were unwarranted. Vests are perfect for this fall/winter weather we've been experiencing. Throw them over a blouse or sweater, or under a jacket for extra warmth and interesting layering.

Love that vest! I never thought to wear a dress as a blouse, but I think I'll have to try it now. ;)

Very glam! However, I expect to see you with a Diet Coke and some ice cream in your next blog post. ;) hahaha. I love the geometric design on the blouse- so different than plain, boring stripes.

I already loved your Everyly dress from the Lucky Shops post, but how cute that you wore it as a top... great idea - will have to try with one of my dresses. Happy Friday!

Love the dress (as a blouse)!! I often wear dresses as either a skirt or a top - and it creates a whole new look! So much fun! Have a wonderful weekend! xo, Christina

la petite fashionista said...

love the idea of turning your dress into a top.. something i'm definitely going to have to do this winter; as its almost too chilly to just wear tights already here in wisco.

obsessed w/ chevron & the vest is the perfect finishing touch

Suzy said...

The dress makes a really pretty shirt.
