Ruffly

November 8, 2010

When I came across this vest, I knew I had to have it. Cozy, cable knit and best of all ruffly, this full-of-detail piece was perfect for the luscious fall backdrop today. It reminds me of this coat from Zara, but at 1/3 of the price! I am also happy to say that I’ve found my ideal shade of red lip colour (or at least I think I have)… in the form of a lip pencil from MAC! What do you think?

Wearing: Jacob sweater dress, Forever 21 ruffle vest, Joe Fresh tights, Zara booties (can’t stop wearing), House of Harlow ring, borrowed belt, pearl earrings from India

    The vest looks so cozy and posh!:D

    I think the shade is perfect on you, a sweet kind of red. Not too bold or harsh.:D

    A very regal outfit. That vest looks super expensive and I’m SHOCKED that it’s from Forever 21. I’m going to a mall tomorrow and I’ll FOR SURE drop by at F21 to find that amazing piece.

    Red lips suit you perfectly. You’re such a classic beauty. I wish I could look as gorgeous as you with just a red lipstick and winged eyeliner 🙂

    First thing that came in my mind was, that’s the most fabulous looking ruffles!

    Two, I gotta ask about that lipstick. I’ve been trying to find a perfect shade of red and till now, I still haven’t.

    You’re more fab than the ruffles you are wearing of course!

    besos,

    Sweet Jen, you always look so incredibly polished. You make inexpensive items look like a fortune, and you have a smile that lights up the room. 🙂

    That ruffley vest is great. I’ve done so well and haven’t shopped in F21 for a while. Come to think of it, I haven’t really done much shopping, maybe just a couple tops and bottoms (from AA & Nordies) during my Oahu trip, but nothing that really put a dent into the pocket book. 🙂 I think I’ve lost my desire to shop.. ahahahah! Well, not really. I’ve just got a lot of other things on my mind. 🙂

    xx Love & Aloha

    The ruffle vest is really cute and cozy, and I love the big chain link belt you used to belt it. The shade of red lipstick really suits you too. It’s amazing when you find THE red that really works for you, isn’t it? 🙂
