REPEAT FIX: TRENCH VEST

Buying layering pieces is one of the easiest ways to get a Repeat Fix, and ultimately stretch your dollar. A simple trench vest such as the one worn here and here in previous post, transcends seasons, and can easily take you from Summer to Fall. That type of versatility leaves you with so many options and endless pairing possibilities. Below are two ways I found to create fresh looks with my trench vest.

MY STYLE FIX: TRAPEZE BLOUSE

I've been posing for blog pictures for a few months now, and it just seems like there's a disconnect between my brain and my body because in my mind I'm giving my best Tyra Banks, smizing and making love to the camera like a porn star. But, in the photos I just look severely constipated. 

Never did I think it would be this tricky to get that shot. However, clearly I have to go to model bootcamp, because I have yet to find my good side, and there's only two options! 

But, leave it to me to still be looking for this elusive angle months later. And, it certainly doesn't help that the only direction the camera guy, who yes, is my BF, gives, is for me to hurry up.   

Maybe it's the fact that he's not making a shitload of money to get the shot. Or maybe it's just that he thought he was going to have a fine meal with me, but somehow, instead he ended up in some location doing his best impersonation of Annie Leibovitz for half an hour, that has him less than enthused about getting the shot. 

Dont judge me. The full hair and makeup should've clued him in on the fact that this was no ordinary food run. Besides, if I'm not tricking him or begging him, how else am I going to get him to take my jacked up picture.

Needless to say, after weeks of donning several outfits like this blouse paired with a skirt, top, and sandals, and posing for photos, I have newfound respect for models. It's not as easy as it looks. You truly have to "WERK"!

Enjoy your day! Thanks for stopping by<3
