I love the feeling I get when utilizing budget-friendly items in an outfit. Take these flats I bought at Payless: $12.99 (and buy one get one half off!). I desperately needed flats because you can only go so far when trying to pass off wearing Dansko’s with slacks (hey, I work in a hospital–but still, guilty as charged).
These jeans are so raggedy from years of misuse (and painting walls) that they rarely see the light of day anymore. I just don’t have the heart to throw out a pair of jeans. I really don’t. Which probably explains why I still have jeans I wore in college. And maybe high school.
Oh dear.
But they’re super comfortable and for this outfit it adds a casual aspect to it that I needed to balance out the flirty see-through lace and the crisp vest. And, um, it wouldn’t be me without some gold accessories. But you knew that.
Super cute outfit! You really remind me of Mélanie Laurent sometimes.
How flattering, she is amazing!
LOVE the outfit!! especially love the combo of the lace top and the vest =D
thanks girl!
Cute outfit. I wanted to mention though that since the flower ad has been on the left of your site it has been taking a very long time to load each page.
Love the outfit. And I'm not going to lie, NYC & Co. is my go-to for stylish outfits. I've gotten so many things there that just pull an outfit together. Plus, they have great accessories.
ditto, love NY&Co!
Love how you mixed a dressy vest w/ beat-up jeans…and NY&Co. is a great place to shop. I should know…I work in the stock room so I see EVERYTHING before it hits the floor 🙂
hello, new best friend. 🙂

i have a pair of jeans from 8th grade that i refuse to throw out. they were the boyfriend cut from american eagle, and i had to stop wearing them a few years ago because the butt tore out. it's hard to let them go. love your color of jeans, tho! and if they're comfy, i say hang onto them!
fabulous! i love it kristin! "butt tore out" lol…you don't say THAT everyday 😉
This is such a cute outfit. I love how you paired the really feminine lace shirt with a menswear looking vest. A great balance.
Also, I love the new hair color!
