my style recipe Archives

Recently a very good friend of mine asked me how to wear her new puffy vest that she had just bought and I immediately said to pair it with a plaid shirt, skinny jeans and a pair of boots, which sounds easy enough.

But the truth is, a puffy vest can be a tricky piece to style sometimes because it’s usually seen as a very casual item and something you might just throw on after a workout or to run errands. But I love to use these types of vests as great layering pieces to keep warm on chilly days while still looking cute and pulled together.

With that said, today’s My Style Recipe is of course, all about how to wear a puffy vest! :) I actually wore this outfit last year right before Christmas, but I still love this look so much and plan to recreate it this December. However, in the meantime I thought I would give you some options to shop this look if you want to replicate it!

MY STYLE RECIPE

What you’ll need to recreate this look:

Hey guys! So remember this post when I wore this burgundy leather jacket? Well, I thought it would be fun to go one step further and create three varying looks based off of my original outfit. But instead of a traditional remix, which means wearing the same exact pieces different ways, this is something that I like to call My Style Recipe. As long as you have similar looking pieces, you can recreate this look, easy peasy!

MY STYLE RECIPE

What you’ll need to recreate this look:

1. Leather Jacket | 2. Blanket Scarf | 3. White Tee

4. Boyfriend Jeans |5. Aviators | 6. Pumps | 7. Favorite Tote

Ok so now let’s focus on the three looks below. Look one is the closest to my outfit that I’m wearing in the photo above. I wasn’t able to find each exact item online since my scarf and bag are from past seasons, but hopefully it will give you an idea of what to wear. Look two and three are varying versions of my original look just based off different colors and styles (i.e. black and white outfit versus cream, navy and camel), but again, all giving off very similar vibes. Does that make sense? If you have ANY questions, please leave them in the comments below!

P.S. I also created a fun vlog-selfie-style YouTube video sharing three more looks I put together based around the jacket with some pieces from my closet. So, if you think about it, that’s actually SIX different potential outfits all styled around one burgundy leather jacket! If you like this jacket as much as I do, you can purchase it here! Win, win!
