Day four of the Capsule Wardrobe Challenge was interesting. For whatever reason, I wanted to try new and different things last week with a limited wardrobe. One such thing was wearing a blouse as a vest. I wasn't 100% sure with it at first, so I added the belt to keep it from getting tent-y (a theme, yes?). Still wasn't sold on it until a friend of mine's first words to me that day were "Another great outfit, A-C!" (Like seriously, she calls me A-C.) I like this outfit much more in picture format than in the mirror. Weird, huh?
Anyway, another new and different thing I tried was actually tucking my jeans into these boots. As mentioned before, I have big calves. I had honestly given up on ever being able to tuck jeans into knee high boots. I figured it just wasn't meant to be. AND THEN! I tried, just to see if *maybe* these would work, and lo and behold, they did! Moral of the story, try things, they just might work. :)
The Details:
White Blouse: BR
Polka dot blouse: NY & Co.
Jeans: ON
Belt: Target
Boots: Target
Necklace: Consignment

I have a strong aversion to vests, but this just looks darling. I'm glad the jeans tucking worked. Yay for trying things!
Thanks! I kind of do too, but a blouse as vest, in theory, and in practice here at least, are ok w/me.
Trying things---my new motto.
Thanks for the sweet comment over on my blog.
Also...I like the jeans tucked into boots look on you. I'm glad it worked!
