Thinking Out of the Box

Hello all! Continuing with the spring style "inspiration" posts I decided that I would pair pieces that wouldn't normally go together...case in point a trench vest and crepe mid-length skirt.  I actually started this outfit knowing that I wanted to somehow incorporate the vest, I do LOVE a good trench coat and after seeing this vest featured in the haul of one of my favorite fashion blogs (Stylish Curves) I just knew I had to use it!  


I guess if you really look at it, this look brings together the ruggedness of the rolled-cuff camp shirt and trench vest with the softness of the patterned skirt and patent wedges into a "polished Safari" theme (and yes I did just say polished Safari, LOL!)


Also if you cant tell this is the second post in a row that features American Apparel's Large Leather Carry-all Pouch because I'm mildly obsessed with it.... even more so now that I've found out how easy it is to customize it using a little acrylic paint, and creativity (DIY post inspired by Just B coming soon!!!!!)
