The one piece around which each of our outfits will revolve is this gorgeous Faux Leather Vest with Belt from Ashley Stewart.
It's the absolute definition of urban chic...though I will admit that I was a little uncertain as to how I would make it fit my personal style. I pulled it out of the package and gulped. It's amazing - very well made, with perfect attention to detail. But the vest just didn't look like me, upon first glance.
And then I turned it around. And immediately clapped my hands in delight. The ruffle detail that's visible on the sides of the vest go all the way around the back and create a modern bustle effect. So girly! I decided to embrace the vest and go all out with my vision of a Bombshell date look: sultry pencil skirt with a clingy pink top, purple snakeskin print slingbacks, and dangly earrings. The form- fitting vest topped the outfit perfectly.
And here's how Tina and Kimberly used the vest to express their own style:
Tina's look is perfect for her conservative law office. Just goes to show that you can add your own special kind of sass to a professional work setting.
I love that Kimberly paired her vest with jeans! She'd tried it out with a couple different looks and we all, hands down, loved this casual twist.
Maddy couldn't participate in this round of the remix because she got sick...but I know she would have put together something fabulous. Next time!

*Tina contacted Ashley Stewart to see how we could purchase the vest since it was not in-stores at the time that we got this great idea. They were kind enough to send us the vests for these posts...and good news! They are in-stock now, so you can snag one too.
