Outfit: Blouse: Thrifted, Vest: Mommed, Pants: Banana Republic, Shoes: Target, Flower and Headband: Made by Me
'Twas four days before Christmas and all through the house there was a hurry and a scurry that was even faster than a mouse. As presents were wrapped and bows were tied there she saw it....the sweater vest there lied. And she wondered with her smartest thinking caps of all caps, could this be, would this be, maybe perhaps? She ran to her mother and asked what it was, 'twas her mothers old vest that she kept just because.
Alright alright long story short, this is a completely magical vest. My mom has had it for thirty years and just recently found it and knew I loved me some retro looking clothes with character and asked me if I wanted it. I. am. in. love.

ReplyDeleteOoh, a flower pin! I love those! Actually, my sister just made me a new one for Christmas, yay!
ReplyDeleteI love your outfit...I'm all for mixing patterns.
That is the coolest vest. I am actually wearing me some argyle right now. haha What a special gift!
ReplyDeleteMom, FTW! That vest looks awesome on you and it's really neat that it was your mom's first. I love pieces with history... especially if it's my own family's history. Great piece!

I really do like that vest. Too bad my mom didn't keep any clothes from back in the day.

I love that vest and the shirt. I want a shirt just like that. They have one just like that at JCrew, but I am cheap and don't want to pay JCrew prices!!

Wow can't believe that's your mom's and it's in great shape!! You look adorable as always :)
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that trumps a sweet thrift store find is a sweet hand-me-down from mom. That vest is amazing!
