Eboni is off enjoying her vacation in Cabo but according to Trina from Baby Shopaholic, the show must go on. :-) Trina chose vests as this week's Style Me Friday inspiration. I have a vest. I actually have a few vests. I have a moto vest, a blazer vest, a few denim vests, and some sweater vests/cardigans. I'm working on getting a utility vest, one day. A vest is a pretty easy piece to style. You usually just layer it over or under something. Or so I thought. Just because you have the pieces doesn't mean a new look would come to you instantly. I actually styled my look at the last minute last night after work. I decided to go with a leather and denim look and I kept it simple by wearing all black. Casual and comfy with a little edge. How do you wear your vests?

Yes! I made it to Friday. This week has gone by quickly but I have been extremely tired and haven't had the chance to catch up on my sleep since last weekend. I didn't arrive back home from L.A. until after 1 am because our flight was delayed by almost 4 hours. I so didn't want to go in to work on Monday but life doesn't work that way. Now that Friday is here and I don't have anything planned for this weekend, sleeping in should be super fun. :-) Today's post is centered around my faux leather shorts. I've been trying to wear it as much as I can especially because it may not be trending too much anymore.
Date Night
The first look I'd worn when Mel and I attended a Brandy & Friends concert. I went for an all black everything look and added my DIY Dope beanie. The weather was a little cooler at that so I added patterned tights to the look.
Work and Play
For the second look I wore when I worked as an assistant for a fashion show last month. I styled the shorts with a graphic tank and white blazer and threw on my high top chucks to give it a funky look AND be comfortable with the running around I knew I would have to do.
Casual Weekend
For the third look, I paired it with my black oxfords and a rust colored high low button up. I added gold accessories and called it a day. Simple and cute. Which look is your fav?
Last Thursday I had the opportunity to assist and put together a couple of outfits for one of the designers at a fashion show. The show started at 10:30 pm and I had to be on location at 8 pm with the models to help with whatever was needed. Of course I didn't leave the house until 8 but I made it into SF in about 18 mins. :-) This was fun event and it helped me to gain a little more experience with styling and working behind the scenes in the fashion field. It was pretty hectic backstage but overall I had a good time. I kept my look funky with some black faux leather shorts and some chucks. I had to make sure I was comfortable and prepared for all of the running around I had to do. I think I'm ready for the next one.
