You guys know how I love my leopard print. Meet the newest favorite addition to my closet.

Can I take just a second and be honest with you guys? I was completely unsure about this leopard sweater vest. I got it for a major steal [well, mainly because it was a major steal] but was really so-so about it. I didn’t see the potential in it, which is usually one of my greatest shopping strengths. Seeing the potential of something on the hanger when others can’t, along with the resulting satisfaction of seeing how great it is when you’re wearing it, is one one of my main thrills in life. [sorta like Cher from Clueless]

This is one time where my senses failed. I had no hopes for this sweater. So one morning when I was running late for work, I threw it on with some black pants and a long sleeve black tee and rushed out the door.

I received so many compliments….boy was I surprised.

So now, I have experienced the greatness of this sweater and want to wear it all the time! I do love how easy it is to throw on over a dress or over a long-sleeved shirt. Next, I might wear it with a turtleneck and a skirt. Excited about all the possibilities.

So, moral of the story/lesson learned, give your clothes a chance. Even if you don’t think it’s the cutest outfit, wear it out, see what reaction you get. You may just find the next go-to item in your closet.

What I’m Wearing:
Sweater: Last Call | Dress: H&M (similar here) | Booties: Altuzarra x target (similar here & here) | Backpack: old (cute options here & here) | Belt: old Steve Madden (similar & here)

Let me know if you find some hidden gems in your closet!

This girl (me, obviously) is obsessed with vests.
Once I saw this Rebecca Taylor one I immediately fell in love.
Biker jackets were all over the Spring runways and I think the vest version is so chic but still cool. It’s a fun way to wear this hard/soft look in the rising temperatures of spring and summer. Vests are a great addition to your closet. They can make any outfit fresh and new. Vests are easy to dress up or down. You can wear a vest with a v-neck tee and skinny jeans for brunch with friends or throw on a vest over a cute floral dress for a nice dinner date. As with any jacket, you can’t go wrong with a neutral color. Creams, black, and grey are all go-to colors for a versatile vest. But you can also add some fun color to your outfit with an orange or hot pink vest. Can’t wait to grab a few vests to update my spring wardrobe. Will you be doing the same?
