Vested Interest

By -

Recently, I have purchased three vests – a fitted denim vest, a black menswear vest and a slouchy button-front, light-weight sweater vest. I love how these can change an outfit. The menswear vest adds structure to my girly skirts and dresses, the denim vest adds edge to feminine tops and the slouchy vest adds a relaxed feel to some of my super structured pieces.

Vests make a great addition if you have a limited wardrobe or you want to bring new life to what you have. They're everywhere for summer and fall so you should be able to find vests pretty easily. Here are some in a variety of styles:

Best of all, the earrings I've featured here today all cost only $12.95. (Although the shop sells some other higher priced goods).

We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at ...

You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not?
