Day 29: Vested Interest

For those of you in the land of places that have actual seasons, you should know it's 83 degrees right now. Yup. That's happening. Who says spring's a couple of weeks away? It's already here in Texas! I had a completely different outfit planned out for today, there was a sweater involved and perhaps some ankle boots, obviously that would not have worked out well. Instead, I whipped out my thrifted vest and a shirt that I realized I had only worn once this challenge! Funny, how I forgot about an item when I've only go thirty to choose from -- this is clearly a sign that this challenge is just what I needed. I have so much, and I take all of that for granted when I peer into the closets (or blogs) of others. I want what they've got, and I forget about what I already have. I hadn't even put this combination together yet, so I was pretty pleased with myself last night as I stood in front of my mirror admiring my handy work while singing loudly to some Fleetwood Mac.


The more I wear this vest, the more I like it, which is good..because having something in my closet for almost two years and never wearing it isn't okay. I'm glad I threw it into the 30x30, and I'm still coming up with ways to wear it. I'm gonna go take a shower, I can't handle temperatures above 80 apparently, ha. Oh, and uno mas, uno mas, uno mas! I have no idea what I'm going to throw together for tomorrow..but I'll try to make it good!

  2. Cute outfit! I really like your shoes. I tried on a similar pair recently but didn't really like them that much. If they had the contrasting piping like yours, I def would have got them!

    1. Thanks, Inge. I really like them, but I don't wear them when I have to walk a ton, the sole really isn't meant for that. They are fun though!

  5. I love this! I've been looking for the perfect pretty lavendar top for Spring. This one is lovely and that vest is an awesome find! Can't believe it's so warm there! I'm totally jealous! We're still stuck in winter here in Utah. Also, I love the pic of you and your guy - you're totally the same height difference as me and my hubby :)

  7. i wanted a vest so badly yesterday! i stepped out to take photos before work in my denim jacket and thought "this would be the perfect time for a denim vest, darnit!" so now i'm officially looking for one. the vest makes the outfit feel more put together without adding extra heat when it's already burning outside.

  9. I have so much to say here... I LOVE that vest, and it looks super cute with the purple top. Also, Fleetwood Mac? Yes please, forever and ever. Also, 83 degrees? Holy moly! And I thought San Francisco had ridiculous winter weather.
