Billabong vest via Swell.com. Urban Outfitters blazer & skirt. American Apparel tee. Varga necklace. Steve Madden shoes

Inspired by this post from the fabulous Alixrose regarding how to spruce up your everyday blazer look, I decided to throw on my gray suede-like fringe Billabong vest over a cropped UO blazer.  I’m a fan of layering vests under blazers, but I’ve never tried wearing one over them.

Conclusion: I like the look.  It’s a simple fix to transform your typical blazer ensemble.

BTW, when most people are dying their hair darker for the winter, I decide I want to go lighter.  Always a constant in my life that makes things exciting, Change is definitely one of my best friends.

Have a fabulous weekend!  xo, Becs

    Thanks so much for the shout out! Also the vest over the blazer, LOVE IT. I also adore the fact that the vest has fringe and that you can totally pull it off.
    I so want to dye my hair that color but my fraidy cat side wont let me. It looks great on you!

    Nope, not from LA. I’m originally from the Bay Area but I moved to nor-nor cal to go to school so I bounce back between the two. And I really like your skirt in this post!

    Hey Becs!! I love your eye-popping skirt! I’m thinking of getting a haircut similar to yours and my natural hair is dark so I want to go a little lighter. My bf has been bugging me to get a new haircut and I’m going to get it before New Year’s! xxooxxooxox
