New vest/waistcoat- wardrobe refresher!

NCyogini

I haven't been so sure about the waistcoat business. I love the look on others but I have not thought myself bold enough to wear something trendy like this successfully. However, I spotted one on clearance at ATL yesterday. And I think it just may have saved my Gap blouse from being a wardrobe orphan.
Here's a few photos.

With pink trench (Gap):

With skinnies, ballet flats, Gap blouse & pink flower pin:

Close-up of the blouse- I can finally wear it now! (It looked weird on its own)

If y'all give me the go-ahead, I'll be pleased to wear this around and about. I think I may have learned that I'm capable of wearing more fun, trendy items, even though I don't always think I can.

Namaste!

That outfit is so adorable and perfect on you that I almost can't stand it! I love the way the flower pin echoes the print on the blouse. And the green purse is ideal!!

BTW, I had to click on the photo just before the outfit, I hope that was okay, and I want to know exactly how you got yourself into that amazing and impressive yoga pose. It seems to defy gravity!!

Laura,

It's all good. I'm working on my yoga website and am collecting photos for it. And how? One... gazillion.... sit-ups. Oy.

Thanks for your kind words re: waistcoat. I'm glad it works!

I love the look of the soft feminine blouse with the waistcoat- it looks so great on you! I'm filing this idea away to try on my blouses that need a little oomph. Great pink trench too. You have what seems to be a perfect body- walking advertisement for yoga.

Just gorgeous on you! This inspires me to get out the waistcoat and look for a similar blouse! Thank you for posting your photo.

Love everything about this outfit! Very well put together. Love the little pin with the floral blouse and how colors come back unexpectedly.

I love it! The flower pin is great too, and good for you for making use of a wardrobe orphan blouse.
