Today was an open studio day, so I was ready and comfy for a long day of greeting visitors to my art studio.

I didn't get a chance to take these pics until after the event, so pardon the low light, tired face, and slightly rumpled appearance! I swear I looked nicer this morning.

It's hard to see the details in the vest, but it's a taupe glen plaid with a dark gray flannel scarf-like collar thing attached. I am drawn to pieces that combine classic and edgy in unexpected ways, so this was my first purchase, even before I met up with Angie & the rest of the YLF gang!

I tried it with a white shirt, but I didn't like the white untucked -- too much contrast. I think the white shirt will look better tucked with higher-waisted pants, which is a current wardrobe hole for me, as all of those pants are now too big and thus no longer high-waisted! So I went with the more tonal approach, which I like for a casual look.

Styling suggestions for the vest are welcome!
