LookBook: Aztec Vest

Hey Loves,

Happy May Day! I can't believe it's already May. I suppose Minnesota weather can't either. It's actually been raining here the last couple of days. I'm not prepared for this weather. I don't even have an umbrella. But if a snow storm hit I would be ready to go!

 This week's look is centered around a new sweater vest that I got at TJ Maxx for $12.99. What I love about this vest is that it has an Aztec print, and I love the colors and how summery it looks. 

Also with this outfit I added a new purse that I have been loving recently. I got this blue purse from Old Navy for $22.99 on clearance. It doesn't seem like a huge bargain but what I love is that there are designer versions of this purse for $60-$100. I wasn't sure if I was going to like the purse so I didn't want to go out and buy a expensive designer one. ( One thing about me is that I love designer purses). But because I loved the purse so much I actually bought it in a taupe color as well.

I paired this vest over a denim shirt for warmth but I also enjoyed the contrast of the fabrics textures. 

What would you pair this vest with? Let me know!

LookBook: Lace, Studs and Fur.

Hey loves,

So this weeks outfit was inspired by my work outfit a couple of days ago. Here's the instagram picture of my OOTD. You can follow me on instagram @ thestephfunny.

However for my blog post I decided to change the outfit just a tad. I wanted to make the look more of a night time look. So from work to a night out. I started by changing the boots that I wore to work and changed them to a pair of madden girl black velvet heels. and did my hair in a sophisticated side pony.

 What I really like about this outfit is that it has a hipster flair, while still being trendy and a little sexy. I mentioned in my last post that comfort is important to me. I find the skirts and tights are very comfortable for me. That is why I have gold/black fish net tights underneath my black and creme lace skirt. For the shirt I used this studded tank top. I love studs, and the fact that it has gold and silver studs makes the tank top really versatile.

Because the weather in Minnesota is still a tad cold, I added a faux fur vest on top of my tank top not only to add warmth, but to give the outfit a trendy flair. I've had this vest in my closet for about a year and I would always wonder how, or where I could wear this piece but I think this pairing is perfect. The best combo of trendy and edgy.

For the day time look I would wear my calf high boots (pictured above), and lighter make-up. I have been wearing beanies a lot recently as they are my current favorite accessory. So for day I would trade out the hoop earrings and add the hat to give the outfit a more casual feel.
