We're in the midst of getting settled into our new home in Hoboken, NJ at the moment (read: no internet at our flat yet!), so I'm just going to keep it simple with some outfit photos featuring my very first Delightful Dozen swap item!
I knew that I loved this fringey crocheted vest the moment I saw sweet Andrea rocking it on the beach, but I forgot that I'd be wearing it during a chillier season... It arrived right before Halloween, and I knew I'd have to be creative in my styling efforts to make it work for the season at hand.
I paired it with a few of my wardrobe staples: a vintage silk tunic (that I made from a ripped full length dress!), fun leggings, shiny flats & a floppy black hat.
shop:
hat - j. crew, tunic - vintage, leggings - colfax (local KC boutique)
neckalce - vintage, bracelet - donna's (local KC boutique),
vest - swapped! (andrea's), flats - c/o blowfish shoes
Hope you liked my fall-version of Andrea's summery piece, and I know I'm looking forward to seeing how it's styled up next (probably winging it's way to Indiana of Adored Austin, as I type)!
I'd love to hear how YOU would turn this into a year-round item... Feel free to share your ideas in the comments!

I love it. You made such a beautiful tunic from a dress, and paired it perfectly with the vest. Great choice. Dawn Suitcase Vignettes xo
Can I first say how excited I am to see you over here?!? Love your spin on this vest. Those leggings are amazing!
I dig the bohemian vibe of the vest, so I'd try layering it up with a faux fur vest and wide legs jeans.

I just visited Hoboken a few days ago (after not having been for a few years - I grew up in NJ but moved to Los Angeles in 2009). I was STOKED to see an influx of awesome food options. I got dinner at maoz falafel - check it out if you've never been! sooo good. I really like how hoboken is looking these days! <3 NJ
You look pretty! I like how you styled this vest and I love your pink shade of lipstick.
