How to Wear DIY: Double DIY outfit for fall

After our long Indian summer warm weather, it's back to practical fall wear this week, so sharing a look I've adopted again this fall now that it's gotten really cold all of a sudden! I modified this olive green cargo vest last year, giving it waist definition and making it look like it fits me rather than a giant;), and you'll notice I'm wearing it here with my new fave DIY boyfriend jeans. I was so into the vest look last year, but I wanted to make it look fresher, updated somehow... I'm seeing them again this winter but want to give it a 2012 spin! So the boyfriend jeans helped, and my new suede smoking slippers, and that score of a sweater from Goodwill--J.Crew, awww yeah...
 
 Sweater: J.Crew via Goodwill. Necklace: Target via Goodwill. Shoes: Ross, $9.99 on clearance and real leather!

My husband loves the cold weather because he can wear his sweaters--he gets hot all the time but likes wearing layers when he can. Me, on the other hand? The weather has gone from 70's and 80's last week and the week before to 50's this week, and I am not adjusting well. I have to put on a jacket now before I go out on errands?!?!!?

Here we are out on a fall walk, but I won't be able to get away with this much longer. Next shoe shot may have to be in riding boots and woolly socks! ;)

Fall is here!!!

    It was cold here then now back up to the 70's which is making my hair frizz witht he humidity.

  2. Lovely colours on you and those are great shoes. Can't wear suede much here in Britain - far too wet!

  6. Super cute!! I need a cute pair of jeans, time to go shopping! I know what you mean about wearing a jacket too. I HATE wearing coats, but it's so chilly now! I need to find a cute one, so I'm not so irritated by having to layer up :)

  7. I love the vest! Saw a similar one the other day in a shop but as we are coming into summer here in Australia, I resisted buying it.

    Not only do you make amazing things but you are so great at putting outfits together!
    There is something so fun about the necklace with this look!
    I'm much more of a warm weather girl and I can never think of what to wear in winter. Once it gets cold again I will look to your blog for inspiration :)

    What a wonderful outfit Suzannah!, but aside from your creativity, I am more amazed on how you manage your skin stunning. I’m wondering if my dermatologist long island could also make my skin glowing as yours!
