I usually start with the top as the foundation of my outfit, and on Saturday, the first thing that popped out to me was the black gingham shirt from J. Crew factory outlet. I considered putting a sweater over top of the shirt, but thought I might get warm, so I opted for the vest instead. I didn't want to look bulky so I chose a thick camel colored leather belt to cinch my waist and give me some shape, despite the layers I was wearing. I paired the tops with some Gap jeggings (cuffed a few times at the ankle to give a more casual feel) and black woven flats. For accessories, I used my black Bottega Veneta woven purse (the Deux Lux one below is almost an exact replica at a seriously small fraction of the price), a leather bracelet, and a gold watch.
Here's how you can re-create the look!
