An ode to vests

Back in the day I had a love affair with vests. I swear I have at least 10 sitting in my closet and I don't regret it one bit. But somewhere along the line I just kind of stopped wearing them. I've been trying to go through my closet and clean out things that I don't wear anymore since my style and fashion needs have changed (think office setting to being a mom.)

When I came to my extensive vest collection I could only part with two of them. And this one I may never part with. I've had it since collage and it's one of my absolute favorite vests. It's from Forever 21 so it's held up remarkable well, especially with all abuse I have put it through. I may just have to hand this baby down to my children some day. 

I've also been experimenting with updo's lately. I really liked this one! You can't really tell from the photos, but I have two small braids on each side of my head going back into a low messy bun. It was the perfect hairstyle for a big BBQ I went to for my husband's job, cute but practical, which is not usually my forte!
