Hi!

I am going to for dinner to a pretty casual place this weekend. I bought this vest from BCBG

http://www.bcbg.com/product/index.js...entPage=family

and was thinking of wearing it with the long grey wrap sweater (as shown in the 3rd picture). I was going to finish the look off with a pair of distressed jeans and a white tank.

I'm not exactly what you would describe as slim and I'm worried that that outfit would probably look best on someone without my generous helping of b**bs, tummy and b*m!

What do you think?

The outfit you described sounds cute! I would probably wear the vest with a cute little dress and platforms or booties.

i like it over a slightly relaxed long sleeved t-shirt with skinnies and ankle boots.

the combo of a tank, wrap cardigan and the vest is a little much and might add bulk to your frame. i am very busty and i definitely have to be careful with vests. in addition, i think the cardigan under the vest looks like you're trying a bit hard (even on the model).

what a fabulous vest it is!

great vest. i'd wear it with skinny jeans (distressed would be nice) and a looser fitting t, and your long grey wrap sweater.. post a pic of what you decide, good luck and have fun!

flashy.stems · Oct 29th, 2009, 09:55 PM

oh p.s. what shoes are you going to wear with it?

Mayki · Oct 29th, 2009, 10:25 PM

Thanks for your comments! I have a pair of light grey suede pumps I was thinking of wearing with it. Or should I try a bright color for contrast?

I have this vest and I've worn it just with a simple black LS top or white T, black skinnies and grey or black pumps...I think it's best to wear it with a simpler shirt...and I like the idea of the light grey suede pumps...I don't think it's quite "neutral" enough to wear with a bright colored shoe

what you mentioned was fine...but i wouldn't do white...something dark. the vest is kind of medium/light color...

Thanks for your advice - I'm usually more preppy so I had no clue whether my outfit would work.
