Stepping Into Spring, Puffer Vest

Here we go with the stepping into spring, puffer vest for outfit #3. You might have gotten a preview of this outfit if you saw this post. Outfits should be easy, you shouldn’t have to agonize over how to put them together. I like to dress in my rule of three – a top, a bottom, and a topper. I am always cold, so even in the summer I wear a lot of 3/4 sleeve length cardigans. There are always times when this rule does not apply, like with a dress, but it makes putting together an outfit easy.There is always a star of the show, when it comes to dressing. It can be a scarf, a purse, a necklace, a pair of shoes, or a cardigan. In this show, the star is the lightweight puffer vest. This vest is super cute, the design and the pop of color, really makes it stand out. The fact that it is lightweight makes it perfect for spring. This vest is by Crown & Ivy, and I bought it this past fall on a trip to Tennessee. Here is how I styled it in Tennessee. But, it is no longer on their site, so I found you a couple similar vests. Similar, similar, and similar.A long sleeve button-up shirt is very practical for spring. If it is cool, just keep the sleeves long, and roll them up if it gets warm. I know you are so happy I passed on that little bit of information. I am sure you would have never thought to roll up the sleeves if you were hot. Hahaha  That’s why you read my blog. Lol! I bought several button-up shirts at Van Heusen years ago, and this is one of them. The material is no-iron, so that is a big plus in my eyes. Here, and here are similar ones.I decided to wear pearl jewelry to bring out the white in the vest. I have on two pearl bracelets, and a new necklace that I got from Chloe & Isabel when I signed up to be a merchandiser. Bertha liked it so much, she ordered one too.These jeans are old and are from Maurice’s. I don’t really like these jeans, I think it is the color. I have gotten so used to skinny jeans, I feel almost out of place with a boot cut. Here is a pair by Kut from the Kloth, which I like better because of the color, here is a pair by Seven7 jeans, and here is a plus size pair by Levi’s. The loafer’s are by Tommy Hilfiger, and I have had them for years. Here is a similar pair. And I finished off the outfit with my Stella & Dot snake-skin “the switch” purse. It is only available on Ebay, so if this link has already sold, you can search by the name for another one.
I feel like I have rushed you in this post. No story, or inspirational talk, just plain clothing. I’ll have to step up my game for Friday’s post. Let me think, what could I possibly do on Friday? I know!!! It is going to be time for another giveaway. The 6th will be my 6 month anniversary!!! Woohoo! I can’t believe how blessed I have been to have you gurls join me in my blogging pursuit. So be sure to check back on Friday to see what I will be giving away for my 1/2 birthday.
