Fashionably Idu: Trench Vest

A trench is classically chic and a closet staple. It’s also the perfect transitional layering piece. Not too heavy for warm days and not too light for chilly days.

I love the versatility of a trench. You can wear it as a dress, over a skirt / dress, with a skirt of skinny jeans or just draped over your shoulders. Best of all, you can wear it longer than a season. I’ve had this one for a couple years and I’m still loving it.

I styled this hero piece with a nude skirt and red accessories. A pair of mirrored sunnies completed my look.

How do you style your trench coats?

P.S I've got a very busy weekend so I'm keeping this post short and sweet, :).

Lace up detailing makes a very bold fashion statement and thankfully are not restricted to one style of clothing, rather they're universal, featured on shorts, pants, dresses, tops, sandals, boots, leggings and even lingerie. They add an extra dose of fab and an edgy touch to any look.

I’m pretty sure all Zara enthusiasts are familiar with this vest. Zara opened a new store in a nearby mall and I snagged this when I walked in to check it out. Before I walked in, my daughter made me repeat ‘I will not buy anything’ a few times. I came out with a handful of bags and ‘babe, I can explain’. The retort <<< don’t tell me they’re all trending or on sale so you had to get them>>> was hilarious but I kept a straight face. Who laughs when they’re being reprimanded by their 14 year old daughter!

How to Style

It's doesn't get any more effortless and versatile than a vest. Even more fabulous if it features lace up detailing.

Throw it over anything! Seriously guys, that just about sums it up!

Want a look that is as effortless as it's cool? Grab that vest and done it over a tank for a Summer ready look. Bare arms are in!

Vests especially long ones are very versatile. You can create many looks around this staple using pieces you already own. Shop your closet!

1. Throw it over a denim on denim for an instant upgrade.

2. A vest over a tank dress is one way I love to rock this trend. Remember this look here?

3. Stripes are in. A vest in a non competitive color over stripe dress breaks up a monochrome and looks very clean and polished.

4. Pencil skirts! Who doesn't love them! For an elegant business look, throw on a vest over a classic white shirt neatly tucked into a pencil skirt. Finish with pumps and look totally boardroom ready!

Are you getting an itch to do some vest shopping? I can't link mine on Shopstyle or Reward Style but theres this, this and this that I'm loving just as much.

Today’s Look

I’m sporting an ultra stylish lace up vest with my trendy old faithful extra long sleeve shirt that I wear the heck out of. Yeah that one, and please don’t roll your eyes at me for that, Ha! This is just the beginning, you’ve seen it many times in the past and will see it a lot more times. A pair of matching culottes completed this polished and sophisticated look.

It’s finally getting cold in the bay.

Wait, what??? JK, we still get away with baring our arms, LOL.

There’s nothing quite as flattering as a midi body con dress that hugs your bodacious bod in all the right places. I probably said that about a few pieces in the past but seriously guys, I mean it. This tank dress with its deep scoop neck in a color I like to describe as 'Fall Approved’ (what do you call it btw? Burgundy? Oxblood? Dark red? Wine? Shade resembling blood? That got you laughing huh? Whatever!) is the ish.

What’s not to love!

Trench vests are downright amazing and are most def. having a moment in fashion, almost to the point of becoming staples. Dress them up or down, a trench vest makes for a perfect layering piece. I literally live in them tbh. I’ve worn them over dresses, and over most tops I’ve styled lately from tank tops to camis and even off shoulder tops. Skirts and pants too. I yanked off the buttons from this one before I wore it and loved it even more. Being camel is surely a plus. If you don’t own one not a problem, I’m linking some fabulous top sellers. Here, here, here and here are a few of them.

How do you style your trench vest?

Just a little bit about my week.

My class had a Thanksgiving show yesterday. The kiddos entertained their families with poems and songs followed by our harvest feast. They all looked too darn cute in their Indian and pilgrim costumes. A lot of work went into pulling off this show, but it was all well worth it. I have all next week off so I can catch my breath. Their families can’t wait till our Christmas show. Me neither, :). So if you’ve been wondering why I’ve was mia all week especially on Instagram, now you know why.

How was your week?
