Inspired by Diana: Vest over sweater

Parsley

Veteran

Inspired by Diana, I tried my sleeveless blazer over a sweater for a casual day of running errands. I like that it shows the fun animal print sleeves while still adding a little warmth and the interest of a third piece.
This sleeveless blazer has been a bit of an orphan because I couldn't figure out quite what to wear it with. Now maybe it will get to come out and play a little more!

Questions, comments, suggestions are always welcome!

Is that sleeveless blazer-new? I have been actively looking for one.

It looks amazing in you. I like the different prints in the blouse and the fact that you tucked it in. Nice touches.

Thanks, Sona and Celia!
It's not new, and I can't remember where I got it- maybe Amazon?
BCBG has a cool black one right now with a zipper down the back.

It runs big- mine is a small, and I probably could have worn an XS.

So fab! You are giving me ideas for a way to wear mine that mostly comes out during the warm months instead of a blazer.

Feeling a bit behind here...never even heard of a sleeveless blazer! I like it though. You look great. Love the sweater and the Nikkis on you!

So cool. I want to do a vest-over-sweater outfit too. But the weather is not right yet...

Suz- Isn't it the truth- that's the fun of YLF: we can bounce ideas off each other.
Thank you, Thistle. I hadn't thought about the boots bookending it, but I guess they do!
Angie- thanks! ❤
Joy- I really like the idea of wearing this over a sleeveless top in the summer.
Gotta go get these flabby arms in shape!
Thanks, Carter! Sleeveless jackets wouldn't be a bad thing in the south when you want a 3rd piece but it's too hot for a full blazer.
Rachylou- can't wait to see your version!

I'm honored to have inspired you! Love the look with the animal print arms.

I do wear my sleeveless blazer over tanks in the summer, with my long olive linen pants or just denim clams. I really like that look as well. And now that we have figured out how to wear them in the winter, they are becoming true 4 season pieces! =)

I think this looks really good. I also didn't know there was such a thing as a sleeveless blazer, but I really like how it looks here.

Now you have me eying these sleeveless blazers! These would work well for me in spring and summer. Love the look and you in it!

This looks great! I love blazer-like vests in general, and this looks particularly fab with the animal-print sweater.

This looks amazing on you. I didn't know the difference between a vest and a sleeveless blazer until I zoomed in on the Amazon picture...it's the lapels, I guess. I love vests but they feel forced on me, but you look casually cool. And I love your new haircut.

Someone needs to recruit you for modeling. You are seriously fab, your style is modern classic withan edge. And you always balance the age appropriate issue. If not modeling, is there a blog in your future?

Beautiful and stylish! I love it!

Oh how wonderful. I have also been wanting a sleeveless blazer or trench. I think I will buy a jacket and just have the sleeves removed.

You sweater is to die for too .

You look fabulous! I want it all -- the vest, the sweater, the jeans, and your haircut.

You look stunning! I love a sleeveless jacket Mine is a workhorse. Your styling here is just perfect. I think you have lots of options of what to layer underneath it. I hope to see it more in you WIW's.

I went to open this link, thinking, "Oh, Parsley ALWAYS looks good, so no surprises there."

Yet I'm still surprised at how good this looks. You look. Well done!

I'm always supportive in particular of looks rocked by brunettes : )
