Cute & Trendy Spring Outfit Idea: Utility Vest and Striped Top (And It's All On Sale!)

Spring Outfit Idea: Utility Vest and Striped Top
While browsing Pinterest I stumbled upon this utility vest and striped top look and fell instantly in love. This is the perfect cute yet comfortable outfit idea for spring that you can put together with items you probably already have in your closet. If you don't yet own a must-have utility/cargo vest, I spotted this Merona utility vest at my Target store just last week and it's on point. According to readers on Instagram the vest fits true to size. The striped top featured here by Merona has been in stores for a while now, and with good reason - it's got a flattering cut and it's made from a thicker fabric with zipper detailing in back for a luxe J.Crew-inspired vibe. Assuming you already have dark blue or black skinnies (or leggings), just add ankle boots and a little sparkle to complete this outfit. Hurry and shop today and you can score the essential vest, top and necklace on sale during President's Day, too!

Look for Less: Daniel Wellington Watch


The Daniel Wellington 'Classic Sheffield' watch, with it's big open face and minimalistic design, goes with any outfit. You can wear it with a casual outfit or even a fancier look as well. The black and white style is so simple, yet so classic. A good watch is the perfect finishing touch to any outfit, even if you don't use a watch for time-keeping. With someone as clumsy as me, however, a nearly $200 watch would be a bad idea. I would not only potentially crack the watch, I would probably lose it as well. That's why finding a look like a Daniel Wellington watch for less is so important. Another really cool thing about the Daniel Wellington watches is they come in so many different varieties, like the 'Classic Southampton' and the 'Classic Glasgow' featured here. These are all so awesome, it's hard to pick just one.
