AMERICA’S MOST STYLISH BLOGGER: OFFICIAL WEEK 1 ENTRY
Standing in the mailroom, I excitedly tore open the package from BlueFly.com. What I found made me giggle!!! The navy blue Priorities “Boyfriend Vest” was the perfect illustration of my entire styling philosophy. I believe that by buying quality pieces, with classic styling, you can work them into your wardrobe not only this season but for years to come. This August, I demonstrated this with “The Little Black Dress Experiment,” where I styled the same little black dress differently for thirty-one days.
Timeless “Boyfriend Vest,” styled for a modern day Jackie O. Classic style appropriate for any age & easy to create from your own wardrobe.
Why was I giggling? Well, I owned a nearly identical vest, in 1994. I didn’t call it a “Boyfriend Vest” though. I called it “part of my interview suit.” Oddly the skirt was damaged and I decide to hang on to the vest. I styled it for years not only just with my suit but also with jeans, skirts and dresses in an effort to extend its lifespan. This gave me endless inspiration for the possibilities for my new navy Priorities “Boyfriend Vest.”
I decided to go with a timeless style inspired by my love for Jackie O’s classic elegance. I created a casual look that I imagine a modern day Jackie O might wear for everyday. I also sought to create a look that was both appropriate for all ages and easy to replicate. To create this look from pieces in your own wardrobe, you’ll need the following items: a white button down shirt, a wide belt, a pair of boots, fitted denim jeans, a pair of oversized sunglasses and if you so desire a funky necklace. You can choose to use pieces similar to mine or add different styles and colors to create your own take on this look. Share your ideas at StyleList.com. I can’t wait to see how you style your “Boyfriend Vest!”
