Ooh, Dottie, yeah… These are about as wide a leg as I own right now. Hmmmm… Maybe on my next thrifting trip (I’m posting about my first one next week) I can keep an eye out.

Thanks, Caitlin and Jade! And yes, I highly recommend it.

I’ve wanted a vest like that for a long time – I don’t do belts (unless as needed to hold up pants) and maybe that’s part of the definite appeal – belt-like advantages without the belt.

Also: you’re very Angelina Jolie today.

That color greenish/teal looks fabulous on you! And I never thought I’d see a vest on someone past schoolboy age and actually like it

Very cute!!!

YAAAAAAAAY

I feel like Stacy and/or Clinton! It’s so exciting to finally see the vest in action. And I love green and black as a combo, so more thumbs up. The tie was initially a little distracting but the more I look at it, the more I appreciate it.

I also think it would look fantastic with some wideleg trousers. But I don’t know if you’ve experienced those being hard to find as a fellow wee curvy person (or if anyone else has, really), because they are the one thing I wish I could pull off but every pair I try on makes me look like a cowbell.

You know, Sofia, it is. And it’s a little more… subtle, at least in my case.

this outfit is really great inspiration! and i bet a vest is much more comfortable than a belt over a shirt. now i just need to find one.
