The structure of the vest would go well with the drapey, flowy tops as suggested, or similar dress or pants. Play around with different colors. White is great but hey, it's navy so ought to go with lots of things Something that picks up a tone in the brocade, as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shopping-gods-have-smiled-upon-me%e2%80%a6#post-1164058 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 22:28:56 +0000 Caro in Oz 1164058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous finds - aren't the booties great? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shopping-gods-have-smiled-upon-me%e2%80%a6#post-1164044 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 22:02:46 +0000 sarah 1164044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lucky you!

Fab vest- I see why you hunted it down! And what size booties are those? I promised myself I would keep checking for my size, but haven't looked in several weeks. I guess I need to go have a look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shopping-gods-have-smiled-upon-me%e2%80%a6#post-1163976 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 20:47:29 +0000 Anonymous 1163976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous vest and booties!

I see it with a drapey silk blouse or harem pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shopping-gods-have-smiled-upon-me%e2%80%a6#post-1163957 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 20:33:54 +0000 Suz 1163957@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OOoh - wear them together, that's my suggestion!! You'll love the Pettys. They're a great little bootie and really nice for those of us with fair hair because they can work with light or darker bottoms and do a great job bookending whatever you're wearing!</p> <p>The vest is beautiful &nbsp;-- love the texture.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not sure how to style it either. I like it with the tees better than with the shirt, but a silky shirt might work better. Also try with a low contrast or no contrast shirt for a different effect, and maybe with a bright? One of your corals? I know that would be walking on the wild side...</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shopping-gods-have-smiled-upon-me%e2%80%a6#post-1163953 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 20:30:44 +0000 Aquamarine 1163953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You need to play the lottery stunning vest! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-shopping-gods-have-smiled-upon-me%e2%80%a6#post-1163949 Tue, 11 Feb 2014 20:29:25 +0000 nancylee 1163949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>…because I found this fabulous ink blue&nbsp;Elizabeth &amp; James brocade asymmetrical vest <i><b>in my size and on sale!</b></i> &nbsp;I've been coveting this vest for many weeks, ever since I ordered it in black from Nordies and had to return it because the size 6&nbsp;was too big and they had no other sizes. &nbsp;Scoured the internet, but it was sold out everywhere in both ink blue and black. &nbsp;Oh well. &nbsp; THEN, I happened to be looking around one day last week and stumbled upon the vest in ink blue in size 4 from Lyst. &nbsp; A $480 vest for $197? &nbsp;Yes, please! &nbsp;I'm not exactly sure how to style it, so here it is with a tee, a white button shirt, and a long sleeve white tee. &nbsp;Open to suggestions! &nbsp;(Tags are off so this isn't a K/R) &nbsp;</p> <p>And <i><b>what's that</b></i>&nbsp;on my feet in photos #4, 5, and 6, you ask? &nbsp;Well, that's a pair of python Petty booties <b><i>in my size and on sale</i></b>&nbsp;that miraculously appeared on the Nordstrom website after being sold out for months.</p> <p>How lucky can one girl get? &nbsp;:) </p>
