Black Vest with Pearls

It's still not warming enough for full on spring items here but today I'm rebelling! I'm determined to wear something springy! We're starting today with a black vest.

Here's the dealio. I've been looking for a vest for months. And given how short I am most vests would just hang on me! But this one is chef's kiss. It's a little snug in the chest but with one button undone, it's just right. There's also an adjustable strap on the back that helps with the size as well. It has already passed the washing test and seems to have held up well. I do love the fact that the buttons have a little detail with gold metal, I think it definitely adds something to a black top.

Jeans are a dark wash Madewell jean. These haven't been featured on the blog in the past, but I think I've been wearing them every weekend recently. A very classy wide leg, which is odd considering these are considered straight leg. Super dark, almost to the point of being borderline black. I would suggest if you give these a try to size up by one size. Mine are a curvy fit and pretty comfortable but when they stretch out, they are even better. Black flats (similar) for today. Black shoulder bag (similar) and I've got some pearl earrings. The ones I am wearing are ancient clip ons, but these pearl studs are lovely too!
