Summer Style

Last summer I couldn't get enough of this denim vest and this year is looking to be no different. Denim vests are a great way to completely change the look of any outfit. This dress is actually strapless and a perfect beach coverup... but with the right vest, it transforms the look into something perfect for an afternoon BBQ or drinks with some friends. I actually put this outfit together last week for a friend's birthday and loved how simple the entire look was. Plus, it was great because it was so light and the weather was so hot. Sadly, it's cooled down a bit and the wind has been non-stop.

Have you picked up a denim vest yet?

Best Vest

Okay, so, I was obsessed with this vest last year and thought that I had gotten over it. Boy was I wrong. As soon as I took this vest off the hanger I remembered why I loved it so much last summer. I seriously think it was the best $20 purchase I made last year. It is so versatile and can totally change the look of an outfit instantly. I mean, look what it did with this solid maxi. Ahh, I love it.

Also, I know I keep talking about the weather out west but I can't get enough of it. I wore this outfit earlier this week to meet up for drinks on the patio. The sun was setting and it was still warm enough to go sleeveless at 6pm. I definitely am not regretting my choice to move back to the west best coast.

Linking up with Tara and Three-fer Thursday today.

No matter how many times I play with the settings on my camera I have the hardest time photographing stripes. It seems that no matter what I do, the lines always turn out blurry. 

Maybe Robin Thicke has the same trouble?

Temperatures have been in the mid-seventies for the past couple of days and I took it as a sign to pull out my favorite denim vest from summer. It is one of my favorite items in my closet and was so happy to pair it with a pencil skirt for a completely different look. Also, I had just the right amount of layering to get through the different temperatures heading to and from work.

That One Thing

You know that one thing in your closet that you buy and then can't stop wearing? Well, this denim vest is my latest obsession. For some reason, I think it goes with everything and want to wear it just about every day. I decided that when I wore it last week I was out of the office so it was totally acceptable to wear it again yesterday for a day at work. Only this time, I couldn't really pair it with shorts even though it is still really hot outside.

Do you have a piece of clothing you are currently obsessed with? 

Is it as 80s as this denim vest?
