Commander in Chic

I'm not gonna lie...I totally stole this title from a bottle of Sally Hansen nail polish! Haha. In my defense, I feel it suits this look perfectly. When I was trying to find links to similar vests for the first blog post that featured this vest, I was struggling with how to search it..."Google, hmmm, green vests with pockets?" I finally found similar looking pieces listed under 'military vests' on Polyvore. Huh! Learned something new! All I know for certain is I loved the utilitarian vibe of it mixed with the preppy, girly white dress. Oh, The dress. I spotted it on Oldnavy.ca at the beginning of summer. I knew I liked it right away but I didn't purchase it, I just kept going back to the site and looking at it (please tell me some of you weirdly stalk clothes online like that too, right?). Not even a few days after I initially spotted it, I noticed it had already sold out in my size. I panicked, and searched the closet store location with my size in stock and rushed out and grabbed it! It must have been fate, 'cause it was on sale too. The whole thing was really a rollercoaster of emotion :p I also want to shout out to my accessories in this post - I've been loving these round sunglasses lately and am totally thrilled with my backpack/purse find (I'll probably have to Google the proper description for that type of bag too). I think the bag will work out great into fall. Speaking of fall...it's that bitter sweet time of the year when the stores are starting to get their fall stock in, and you know the summer is almost over. I love a good season change in my wardrobe, but I'm sad to have to say goodbye to summer soon!
