It was the vest of times.

You don’t even know how long I’ve been waiting for this vest to go live on Eloquii’s site. They teased it for weeks. WEEKS of me going crazy! Brilliant on their part. And a good call on mine because it did not disappoint. This utility vest has a plethora of pockets without a ton of bulk. It, along with my gorgeous Eloquii faux leather pleated skirt, lent itself perfectly to a bold fall color story.

I was a little afraid of pairing a blog vest with a long skirt. It’s a lot of fabric for a short frame. You all know how I feel about fit and flatter “rules” but if you don’t feel comfortable in something, you shouldn’t do it. However, the desire to wear both immediately totally eclipsed any insecurity I have about my height and I just wanted to go balls out, like I pretty much normally do.

No regrets. I totally love this outfit. It’s one of those looks that makes your shoes smack the pavement just a little harder. (Never mind that I got caught in the rain and didn’t want to dent my bangs.) The sidewalk was still my catwalk today. And I werqed it.
