Floral with an Edge

Floral dresses are a pretty common sight in my closet. Not that I ever get bored wearing floral but I like finding new ways to wear them. It is like getting a brand new item altogether. This red floral dress was a gift from the boyf. It has been with me for almost three years now. But it remains a favorite, especially during summer when I am looking for loose, comfortable dresses to wear. On top of the frilly details around the neck and hemline, the floral prints make it a totally girly look.

A simple addition of a cropped denim vest added a bit of edge to this look. I wanted to veer away from an ultra feminine look (which was the natural vibe of the dress itself) so I thought the vest was the perfect accessory. I have been wearing this denim vest a lot lately because it has proven to be of versatile use. I like to wear it with a spaghetti or tank top on jeans or leggings, or with dresses. It is such a good buy! 

How do you style your denim vest? Do you like to wear it with dresses like I do?

 

Styling a Denim Vest

A denim vest is an indispensable item in any woman's closet. It adds warmth into your look minus the bulkiness that goes with denim jackets or cardigans. But what I love most about a denim vest is its ability to add a touch of grungy edge to an outfit. 

The versatility of a denim vest is also worth noting. It can be worn as the star of your outfit or used as an accessory piece. For this particular look, I opted for the latter. The acid wash effect and cropped length definitely brings forth that casual touch to the accessory. Hence, it was a no-brainer pick for me when I was formulating this look in my mind as I wanted to tone down this floor-sweeping skirt. A strappy sandal completed this ensemble to infuse a bit of glam into something casual.

There are so many styling ideas you can experiment with a denim vest (especially a cropped one). Hence, it is one trend that is worth investing in.
