I’ve seen the cargo vest trend here and there but was never really sure if I could pull it off. A military jacket is one thing {that I’m totally in love with, btw!}, but vests are a whole different ballgame. I saw this super cute vest while shopping at last weekend and decided to try it out {especially cause it was marked down to $12!}.
I actually had trouble deciding how to style this cargo vest, and so I decided to go with my two tried and true favorites — mustard pants and navy stripes. The result was a little nature meets nautical, and so I decided to add some glam by adding some bold accessories. I love this blue gem ring {that finally came in the mail after a month-long shipping!} and may have given myself a little mani just so I could so it off. 🙂
Meanwhile, I also read this past weekend that brown-eyed girls should wear purple eyeshadow to “enhance” their eyes. And so that’s exactly what I did today! I think I could get used to it, but what do you guys think?

What a beautiful color combination today, the vest totally pops against the mustard pants. I also love your big blue ring and that red necklace.
The purple is great for your eyes, I wear a lot of purple too!
Love it! I love the colors of the vest and pants together, and the striped tee is the perfect addition. I have the Old Navy surplus vest and it has become one of my favorite pieces. I think it acts like a cardigan but with much more attitude! 🙂
Those pants are amazing, I want a pair in that color. I love how you have been styling them!

I love those pants! Especially when you pair it with the stripes and vest and then add girly accessories!
thanks so much! 🙂
Purple eyeshadow eh? Never tried it..have a bunch of samples for lancome but was always chicken..LOL
You pulled off the vest and purple eyeshadow perfectly 🙂
I'm also brown-eyed and I love purple eyeshadow, although my favorite is green. The sequins on your stripes are awesome!
ooh, next on my list to try is green eyeshadow!
great look!

That ring is fabulous! I've been eyeing the genuine YSL Arty, but it's just not in my current price range — this will definitely scratch my Arty itch, at least temporarily. On another note, I love how you manage to mix and match colors without ever clashing – I'm always too afraid to go as bold as you do, for fear of looking ridiculous, but you do it so well.
thank you! 🙂
I love the blue ring and I've always used purple shadow and liner to enhance my brown eyes plus I love purple!
Love that stripe top and nude pumps
XOXO,

still so jealous of those awesome pants! went to H&M but didn't see them there 🙁 Love the look!

oh these pants pretty much sold out instantly. i go to the store at least once a week and the weekend when they came out i actually went twice and saw them as the lady was hanging them back on the rack from the dressing room. i asked her if there were more and she said it was the last pair. :
that makes me so sad! I saw the ASOS ones you linked to, but like these much better. If you do ever see them again in a 2 (or maybe even a 4, I could get them taken in) please let me know. thank you so much! for now i'll be drooling over yours 🙂
Love the color of those pants!

i'm very impressed with my first Butter London nail polish. $14 is pretty ridiculous though for a silly bottle of nail polish but I fell for it. I used 2 coats of polish just cause i could still see streaks after 1 coat. being that today is day 3 of the polish and I still don't have any chips, I'm pretty happy! let's see if it make it until Sunday. 🙂
ooh how do you like butter by london? one day…i will be able to afford this. Right now, zoya & essie & OPI is killin my budget as is. then after that…chanel polish. I heard you only need 1 coat.
I love the look!

You paired the vest very well. I can't believe it's only $12! I must get one!
XOXO

Well, I love the way you wore the purple shadow, not overpowering. Stripes are always a great favourite of mine. Super stylish and autumn trousers. -xo

Thank you SO much!
I'll definitely keep my eyes peeled for them in case they restock!
you look ridiculous, the pants make your legs look like short little sticks and the cargo vest makes it look like your trying way to hard. Honestly. Still, it made me laugh this morning.
Definitely purple eyeshadow with brown eyes are the bomb! 🙂

That top (or maybe it's the ensemble) really gives off the impression that you have a long torso. The ring is gorgeous!
Great photos. Great style. and Great blog concept my dear! Love you, following now!
I've heard that too (about brown eyes). It looks lovely! Hey great minds must think alike because I wore my cargo vest and stripes today too! I love your mustard pants!
Im a sucker for stripes…you wear them well:)
Enter my FAB Forever 21 Giveaway!!
thanks Cee!
Yay! I remember you looking for an Arty ring dupe awhile back, so I'm glad you're able to find a great one.
I've heard the same thing about brown eyes + purple eyeshadow… and it's never worked on me, lol. But you know, I think the blue from your ring and striped top helps bring out the color even more.
Oh very true. Great tip!

Purple eye shadow is one of my favorites! You just have to be careful if you have a dark under eye circles purple shadow can enhance them!
The cargo vest looks great on you!
