Preppy sweater vest


i have never been one to experiment too much when it comes to mixing prints, i've seen a lot of bloggers/models wear that trend and think it looks amazing ! so i thought i would give it a shot myself and see what happens. i think the key is sticking to similar colours... at least for me because my aesthetic isn't as bold, but its fashion so there are no rules. i looked through my closet to see what i could pair together for something different and i pulled out this sweater vest from forever 21.  You guys know i love a good sweater vest so every time i see one i just have to buy it ! Then i looked in the skirt section of my closet and saw this skirt, that is made up of similar colours so i paired them together and i loved the look!! This skirt is also from forever 21. Since i was already mixing prints i kept the shirt underneath simple and then i pulled a colour from the outfit for the bag, i chose red because its brighter than blue would have been. Since i am wearing a skirt that is a bit on the shorter side i opted for some small kitten heels, which are my go-to's ! What i love most about this look is the school girl vibe it has, i feel like thats something i always try to bring into my outfits, i think its very youthful and i don't know i'm very drawn to it since i am still young.  i was walking down bloor street and i saw this fence by a park in the city and i immediately thought of central park, i felt like a school girl in new york walking home through central park.  Below i linked some similar pieces that create the same look, unfortunately these specific items are no longer on the website but they do still sell this sweater vest in stores because i saw it at forever 21 a couple of days ago! 

i hope you all had a wonderful weekend, on friday i spent the evening cutting pictures form magazines and putting them in my inspiration book, its something i like to do every once in a while, i find it so relaxing and i get so much inspiration from it.  On Saturday i went to St.Jacobs its a mennonite farmers market, my family goes once a year, they always have yummy food and antiques and they also sell tons of summer hats. i love going to places like that because you can always find different accessories that you wouldn't find anywhere else. On sunday i spent the day by the water and hanging out downtown. what did you guys do this weekend??
