Billabong vest via Swell.com. Urban Outfitters blazer & skirt. American Apparel tee. Varga necklace. Steve Madden shoes
Inspired by this post from the fabulous Alixrose regarding how to spruce up your everyday blazer look, I decided to throw on my gray suede-like fringe Billabong vest over a cropped UO blazer. I’m a fan of layering vests under blazers, but I’ve never tried wearing one over them.
Conclusion: I like the look. It’s a simple fix to transform your typical blazer ensemble.
BTW, when most people are dying their hair darker for the winter, I decide I want to go lighter. Always a constant in my life that makes things exciting, Change is definitely one of my best friends.
Have a fabulous weekend! xo, Becs
Thanks so much for the shout out! Also the vest over the blazer, LOVE IT. I also adore the fact that the vest has fringe and that you can totally pull it off.
I so want to dye my hair that color but my fraidy cat side wont let me. It looks great on you!
Mmmh Actually this silhouette reminds me . . . a “BOMBnextDoor-esque Gossip Girl escaped from the City of Angels ” !!! AND I say an Astounding YES FOR the DIY-ing hair, as scrumptious as structuring !!!!
