What I Wore to Work: Dressed in a Vest

Anna of See (Anna) Jane recently inspired me with this instagram post to shop my own closet and break out my summer-friendly vests.

While I'm not sure I could pull off the sleeveless look at work, I'm on a mission to wear the black Zara vest I have like hers and my sleeveless trench. While I know I've worn it since, the last time this baby made an appearance on the blog was back in 2012!

For my commute to work I paired it with some Nike kicks (I might have to revive this look for the weekend)...

Changing to the Halogen Clarette Wedges for something more work appropriate. Here are some options if you're looking to invest in a vest for your own wardrobe.

What I Wore to Work Wednesday - Sleeveless Trench

I've been contemplating the purchase of a sleeveless trench, and when Old Navy had one for an insanely reasonable price, I decided to bite the bullet. My CPW (cost per wear) of the last vest I bought from Old Navy is ridiculous (pictured here), so I decided this was worth keeping.

I've been on a bit of a shopping spree lately and found the MOST AMAZING new t-shirts from Gap. They're striped. Surprise surprise. Not only are they super soft and a great length, but they also have cute 3-button detailing on the sleeves and come in some irresistible colors. I also bought one in tan and black.

Here's how you can recreate my work outfit!
