She's A Handsome Woman

 I haven't been this excited about an outfit for a long time. I was so excited about this outfit that I wore it twice this week - on Monday, and then again today when Sarah and I wanted to shoot. 
 I mean, can you blame me?

Black Gold Blues

I am a bit obsessed with vests lately. This one I picked up at the Bremerton Goodwill last week, and I have worn it at least three times, including as I write this post, three days after these photos were taken. It gives a hint of old lady nostalgia to any outfit, and you can wear it open or buttoned up. So many possibilities!
 
Sarah and I met down at the Metropolitan Market while we were both running errands, and went down along Proctor to take these shots. If there had to be one place in Tacoma to call cute - it would be Proctor. It's kind of like this vest - it's cute and old-fashioned, but still hip and relevant.
I paired the vest with this plain black bodycon dress from Target (it's slightly looser now since I was about 15 lbs heavier when I bought it two years ago). It hits me at just the right place on my thigh where I can wear it casually or dress it up. I was going for the casual look that day (obviously), so I brightened it up with bright blue footless tights, also from Target. These are possibly my favorite colored tights that I own, because they are so opaque! Even the American Apparel tights I have aren't this opaque.

Damsel in Denim

You have no idea how many denim and vest puns I tried to come up with to title this post. I really invested a lot of time in it. *teehee*
Sarah and Lana (Sarah's sister, if you don't know) and I drove out to the Titlow Lodge down in University Place this week to try some cool new backdrops, and we managed to get a bunch of really cute photos - Sarah posted an assortment on her post from the shoot. It was a really fun day that I desperately needed.
