ALL IN THE DETAILS: With Great Print Comes Great Responsibility

It’s official. Late nights and early mornings. The smell of coffee, coffee and more coffee. The stillness in the air during the walk to 8:00 am classes. School is finally back in session. Fall is just around the corner, chasing away the last remaining bits of summer.

It’s time, kids, to expand our minds and expand our style.

I have a taste for articles of clothing being worn in a way other than it’s original intent. It’s as obvious a love for me as the grass is green and the sky is blue. It has a special place in my heart, to say the very least.  It’s a weak spot, if you will. More often than not, we see this in the form of a dress, whether it be an oversized shirt or an oversized sweater. Little do some people know, there are more options. That’s what drew my attention to this Fashionista’s use of a vintage men’s vest.

I love this vest. I swear by this vest. I live for this vest! With the eye-catching emerald color and elaborate floral print, it stands out more like a focal point. The focus is brought there. Everything else around it is nothing more than simple and complimentary. It’s a hard look to pull off, but with a little TLC and attention to details, like most things, it can work. This Fashionista in particular paired it with light, distressed high-waisted shorts and round sunglasses, giving the look an overall vintage feel. The black, peep-toe block heels were a definite bonus, adding something a little extra to the outfit.
