Though it's currently sold out, this Sleeveless Boyfriend Jacket (aka vest) by Rag & Bone originally retailed for $400 at La Garconne.

To get the look for less, try this long tuxedo vest from Wet Seal instead that's just $22.50. I'm beginning to build my fall fashion wishlist and a vest like this is definitely up there. I saw this video of singer Estelle perform on The Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien wearing a very similar vest over a white tank paired with a sequin mini and gladiator heels—and she looked amazing. You could just as easily wear this vest with a tee, jeans and boots. It's an easy way to update your wardrobe for fall with a fashiony, menswear-inspired vibe. Love it.
random question btw: what is the quality of clothing purchased online from forever21?
Catherine: Forever 21's clothing can vary greatly in quality. If possible, browse in-store to develop an eye for what they do well. Pay close attention to the product description (material, size charts, size of jewelry pieces) when ordering online. It's not a hard and fast science, but the more you shop there, the better you'll get at being able to "predict" what items will look like in person and how they're likely to fit.
I like your "dress by number" posts of celebrity styles. I recently started a blog about making your fashion pieces go further, teaching women (of all ages) how to dress for less, etc. Would love for you to check it out!
