I put this vest on the other day and Chris' first response was "What is that?"
(cue disgusted tone)
"Ummm, a vest."
"You look like you're ready to lead a safari trip."
I then proceeded to tell him that it was a military vest and was actually very trendy right now.
He didn't believe me.
So I told him I'd be able to look up military vest on pinterest and find hundreds of pictures of stylish ladies wearing a similar vest.
I then decided that probably wasn't worth it.
I then decided that probably wasn't worth it.
I've actually had this vest for a long time and got it on clearance last year at Old Navy.
I've yet to wear it in warmer weather but have seen so many cute outfits with it I am finally trying it.
And despite Chris' disapproval I will continue to wear it.
Happy Wednesday!
He has no idea what he is talking about! He's a guy!!!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a guy, ha! Love the green color on you!
ReplyDeletehahahahaha. Way to rebel!
ReplyDeleteHaha rule one of marriage: you know best when it comes to style! You look adorable :)
ReplyDeleteJ would have said the same!!! You look great. As always!!
ReplyDeleteI think it's so funny that there are "guy outfits" and "girl outfits" - guys often find girl outfits ugly and don't understand why they're stylish while our gal pals gush about how cute they are! There are a number of things I wear that cause the same reaction from my hubby - he doesn't get things like an accent nail or pattern mixing!
ReplyDeleteThe Blue Hour
Yup! I do the same! There is stuff he wears that I have no say about so he can't say anything about my outfits although he tries. But he just wants me to look like I'm going out to the club every night. No thank you, lol.
ReplyDeleteHAHAAAAAAAAA! I think it's adorable! Hope you had a good day at school!

Haha!! Sounds like something my husband would say! Thus another similarity!! :)
ReplyDeleteUm.. my boyfriend disapproves of about 50% of my wardrobe. Guys just don't know style ;)
ReplyDeletehah makes me think of a this post

that I read today. I have some things Wade doesn't love, but I just wear them when he's not around lol
HAHAHA Love this! Sounds like something that would go on at our house. Regardless, the vest is fantastic!

It's an Easy Life
Guys are clueless! Sounds exactly like something my husband would say. Right now he's stuck on the fact that he can't believe colored jeans are in and nothing I say convinces him.
ReplyDeleteyou look so adorable! I love the outfit!
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of vests (for me, I'm too busty). But I do have to say that outfit looks terrific on you! I like the military style with the cute polka dots, and the colours go together perfectly. Have you ever posted about that dress before? I'd like to see the rest of it. I love polka dot dresses!
ReplyDeleteYes, I've gotten the occasional weird look from the husband. But I will never forget the day Scott tried to wear a plaid shirt with pinstripe pants. I was HORRIFIED.
ReplyDeleteI love that dress!
It looks adorable with that outfit!
ReplyDeleteDon't listen to him, I love this vest on you! It's perfect with your green dress.

haha such a guy response. Love the outfit an dthat dress is the cutest! xo
ReplyDeleteI have that same vest and my husband hates it! There are certain things men just do not like...
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you wear it anyway! It looks adorable on you :)
Haha, what do men know about fashion, right? I want a cargo vest so badly but Old Navy is sold out of them :(

You rock the vest Katie! I get that question or even a look from my husband frequently. I just smile at him and take solace in the fact that he is not a fashionista and I don't have to be put off by him :-)
ReplyDeletehttp://hopefaithandblessings.blogspot.com/
This made me laugh because my husband is the same way! You look great and I love the vest! It could go safari, but (a) that's the point - it's in style and (b) you wore it in a way that it screams "cool" rather than "riding around looking for wild animals". :)
ReplyDeleteMy husband JUST did this to me!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat is it with men sometimes??? I love your military vest!!

You look cute! My husband is always making lil remarks like that when i wear different stuff. they just don't understand!
ReplyDeletei love what guys think looks bad and what doesn't... it is always hilarious :) you LOOK great!
ReplyDeleteGotta love what dudes think about our clothing choices.
ReplyDeleteI think you look adorable!
You go girl! Rock the vest!
ReplyDeleteI tried to tell my boyfriend I really like the leather trend for fall and want to get something leather - he just stared at me. I also tried to show him cheetah print smoking slippers and he told me I'd look like a grandma in them. You can't trust everything men say - besides we're the fashionistas right?! Love this outfit, the vest looks so cute with the dress!
ReplyDeleteStephanie
I love this!!
ReplyDeleteI think the vest is super cute, especially the way you styled it with the belt!
haha love it! What do husbands know about fashion anyways?!
ReplyDeleteOh husbands! What do they know? You look great :)

That dress is adorable...and yes, so perfect with the vest!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a conversation I would have with my husband! I absolutely love your vest... so chic cinched with the belt. Hope you're having a great day, Katie!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! haha sometimes guys just don't understand some fashion stuff :) I think you look amazing! (And ps I love those shoes - so cute!!)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute! Boys know NOTHING about fashion!
ReplyDeletewell i think you rock the vest and i will come safari with you any day!! :)
ReplyDeleteit's definitely something I never would've picked but it actually looks SO good the way you've styled it! and my boyfriend and I would've had that EXACT same conversation.
ReplyDeleteKeep on wearing it, it lis LOVELY! I love how you styled it!
ReplyDeleteI wear stuff that Will doesn't like too. I dress for him majority of the time, but if I like something that he doesn't I'll still rock it ;)
ReplyDeletehaha @ your husband's response! Vest's are perfect for the fall, I love them!

Found your cute little blog from over at Chelsea's page (Yours Truly) and excited to know that my husband isn't the only one that questions what I wear sometimes. hahaha. Sometimes the very one that says "you can pull of anything with confidence" questions my most confident outfits. bahaha. newest follower and looking forward to more posts from ya!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is adorable! My husband occasionally likes to comment on my outfit choices as well, but I laugh it off and tell him, "well you don't have to wear it!" ;)
ReplyDeleteI, for one, LOVE the vest!! Who cares if it looks like your are going on a safari! Best to look hot doing it, than not! lol~
ReplyDelete~Lisa @ OC
You look super cute...don't listen to Chris! Matt disapproves of many "trendy" items, including my faux fur vest that I love. :-D Those boys just don't get it!
ReplyDeleteLove you!!!
Oh, husbands! I think mine would tell me the same thing. Don't listen to him though- keep rockin' it!
ReplyDeleteI TOTALLY wear clothes that my husband disapproves of! It happens pretty often actually lol. I LOVE this vest, and you can tell your husband I said so ;)
ReplyDeleteLOVING that safari look. SO CUTE!
