Fashion Challenge: Men's Wear and Lizard


This or That Challenge


Men's wear and I have a love hate relationship.
I used to love to hate it.
Now I just love it in moderation.
My favorite men's wear piece is a terrific vest.


I purchased this vest at the Goodwill last Spring
and have worn it countless different ways since then.
I love how it hugs my curves to give me a more defined 
waist than I actually naturally own. 


I paired it with a pinstripe wool pant and threw my
heart cardigan over the outfit to lighten the men's
wear feel of the vest with the pants. I decided, after
seeing these pictures, that I like it just as well without
the cardigan. 


Lizard embossed buckled high heel Mary Jane's and
my locket finished out the look. I did ad a tiny charm
of myself as a baby to my locket. Ava was shocked to
find out that the baby in the picture was actually me.
She just kept staring and me like I was crazy and repeated:

"You were a baby, Mama? A real baby? Well who held you
than when you were a baby?"

I guess we all can remember a time when we realized
that our parents hadn't always been a grown up their
whole life.

Me: " Yes, Ava, Mama used to be a baby. Grandma Andrea used
to hold me when I was a baby."

Ava: " WHAT! Grandma Andrea isn't just my Grandma!?"

Oh, Ava, you do keep me laughing:)

Cardigan: H&M; Pants: Target, Clearance; Vest: Goodwill; 
Shirt: BCBG, TJMaxx; Heels: Kmart, Clearance; Locket: Savers
Enjoy!

XOXO,

Julie

  6. The vest is so cute with the femme cardigan. Sometimes menswear elements can help play up feminine pieces and complement your curves. Menswear doesn't have to be masculine, and I think you did a great job of styling it.
