vest wishes

Can you believe that Christmas is in two days? Because I can’t. I’m not ready to give up all the things that make this time of year so special(binge christmas movie watching, shopping for others, family and friends coming home for the holidays, and especially, growing closer to God and remembering what is really important about Christmas day. I love the music, the lights, the colors, and the memories made around this time of year. I’m not ready for it all to be over which explains my rant. Anyway, hope you have a wonderful Christmas and remember what’s important! Because the holidays kind of take over and leaves me little time to blog, I thought I’d share with you one last look before Christmas. This look was created with the centerpiece being the vest.

I came across this navy striped vest at TjMaxx earlier this fall and was so excited. It is the exact replica of the JCrew vest that is over 100 dollars. It seriously matches it perfectly, even the pockets! & to top it off, it was only 34.99! Thank you Tj. I have worn this vest with several different pieces underneath, mostly nudes/whites. However, today I decided to change it up and give the vest more contrast. Since it was also chilly out I decided to go for a sweater as the first layer. This mustard yellow quilted sweater from Old Navy is one of my favorite finds this year. It is a great color and it’s warm, comfy, and cute! I have always loved navy and yellow together, they compliment each other well and the yellow sweater went great with the gold detailing on the vest. I finished off the outfit with some jean jeggings that I rolled up to show off my shoes. I wore these lace up boots from Target that aren’t so girly which I like about them. I love dressing girly but I also love mixing styles and I like to add something more worn in and casual to outfits from time to time. These boots completed the look I was going for and I love this outfit because it’s more colorful than what I usually wear.

To accessorize, I added my gold/tan wrapped watch that coordinated well with my shoes. I then added a layered creme/gold bracelet on top of the watch to add some girl to the look. The vest was an accessory in itself which is a super easy way to stay warm and accessorize! Well I’m off to do some last minute Christmas shopping in downtown Dallas for the day! A pitstop at Sprinkles and RiffRaff might just happen! I hope everyone has a very merry Christmas and enjoys time with family and friends(and Jesus of course!). Vest wishes,

XOXO, Julia
