Vested Versatility
[[MORE]]
Sometimes a garment’s versatility reveals itself when seeing it from a different perspective.
On the rack at my local thrift store, this button-down, long hem sweater vest was hardly extraordinary. After a second look, it was the perfect addition to my wardrobe: a knit sweater dress in an amazing shade of blue! (Here it is in its natural state, as a vest!)

I believe that clothing should put you in a good mood, and after a stressful couple of days, it was time to put on a color that gave me those extra good-mood vibes, to get me through the rest of the weekend. (Even my hair hasn’t been cooperating lately, as you can see! lol).
What’s your go-to mood enhancing color?
