Today’s Outfit: Vest Wearing Chica

December 3, 2008 By The Fashionable Housewife

(Click image to enlarge)

I’ve learned that a basic tee can be spiced up by trowing on a vest and a cool scarf. Suddenly you go from looking like a frumpy high school student to a sophisticated chica!

This basic tee (long sleeves) is from Forever 21. It’s not on there anymore for some reason… Grrr. I’m wearing it with a Norma Kamali Vest from Walmart, super wide leg jeans from Newport News, and a cool teal striped scarf from Forever 21. Since these pants are so long, footwear is not important as they don’t show, so I’m just wearing my comfy Softspots Dominas.

So it’s not super trendy, but it looks great on, as the fit of the vest is quite flattering. Great everyday/casual outfit for winter. Throw a coat on top and you’re ready to go!

Shirt: Forever 21
Vest: Walmart.com
Shoes: Softspots on Onlineshoes.com
Scarf: Forever 21
Jeans: Newport News

Ideal for: hourglass, apple, and pear body shapes
