So my outfit including the Priorities Navy Gabardine Boyfriend Vest ($90, Bluefly.com) has already been posted to SyleList.com and Bluefly.com…please vote for me! (And be entered to win a $1000 Bluefly.com shopping spree!)
But, always being the overachiever, I decided to style this vest in a number of different outfits since it is incredibly versatile.
Outfit #1
With The Boyfriend Husband Jean. Methinks they’re a bit too baggy, but what the hey.(Old Navy tee, H&M belt, Newport-News patent clutch, Claire’s leather wristband, Lucky horseshoe pendant necklace worn as a bracelet, Hub’s Banana Republic jeans, Colin Stuart Sexy Stiletto pumps)
Outfit #2
The precursor to the outfit I submitted for the competition. I decided the jeans had to be skinnier-cut in order for the outfit to work.(QoJelly convertible chiffon top, Yukester necklaces, XOXO studded bag folded over, vintage wristwatches, Paris Blues jeans, Bakers Shoes shield sandals)
Outfit #3
Channeling Cyndi Lauper.(DIY ribbon-wrapped Claire’s plastic necklace, bandeau bra, vintage ruffled tutu, Newport-News high-waisted skirt, Spiral Girl platform pumps)
Outfit#4
Military-style. Why is a vest categorized as “outerwear” when you wear it inside your coat/jacket? Wear it on top: outerwear over outerwear!(Kenneth Cole trenchcoat and trenchcoat belt, skirt you can barely see so who cares, vintage thigh-high boots)
Outfit#5
Ruffled silly.(faux leather jacket from Japan, handmade beaded necklace…DIY tutorial here….F21 ruffled top, Old Navy belt, thrift store pants I DIY’ed into cropped harems, Bakers Shoes shield sandals)
I certainly could have worn it over a coordinating slim skirt for office-appropriate attire, or open over a white tee and destroyed jeans. But that’s so expected!
How would you have styled the vest?

i absolutely love it!!!
It's a cool mix of coll rock and glamour chick(especially with the vest)!!. I think I may have gone without the necklace with some headgear though..
I like #5 the best as it really showcases your DIY necklace.
outfit #5 is my favorite; i'm putting it on my diy to-do list. i thoroughly enjoy reading your blog…xo
I love that vest with the flowie or feminine blouses like in #2 and your DIY necklace looks like it was made for that ruffle shirt in #5
