READER SUBMISSION

When we started this blog, we felt like certainly we weren't the only girls living "professional" lives but still yearning for our college days with lots of girlfriends close by.  Sure enough, we're not! Triston at the Girlie Blog feels the same way. And she writes about all things girlie on her blog, hence the name The Girlie Blog. We're soo happy to have Triston here with us today!

Hi everyone. I am the owner of The Girlie Blog. You can call me The Girlie Blogger :O) My blog is a lifestyle blog that includes motherhood, beauty, food and fashion.

Speaking of fashion, I am actually a bit challenged in this area. That is why I am so happy to have found Ask the Duplex.

I've had this striped vest for years (see picture below) -- I LOVE it! However, it just doesn't look quite right with these wide-legged trousers and pointy heels.
 My question is: what can I wear with this vest to make it look chic and sleek?

Thank you roomies!

I love this look! You look great. I love the striped vest and the pants. Is it Mafia inspired?

I hope you visit my blog soon. :-)

Much love from Mystic Nymph.

Have you tried pairing it with dark washed skinny jeans? You could try it with the top you have on now or with a dark v-neck tee and round-toed pumps! :)

You're gorgeous! I think you should pair it with a pari of dark washed flair jeans.

It is very mafia/Dick Tracy looking like this, but that is not necessarily a bad thing. I would totally pair it with a white collar-less tunic style top/button up and wear it open and either some cute dark skinnies & fun heels or else a pair of flares or trouser jeans. Cute though - love your red lips!

I would completely use this more polished piece (the vest) to sleek-up a somewhat casual outfit. Pair it with a sleek dark wash jean and a grey or white t-shirt (maybe wear the vest unbuttoned if you go this route). Use accessories to add color. My two cents! Thanks for posting! :)

You're so petite! Try some skinnies and untuck the shirt. Throw some color in too, jewelry?

Keep the shirt, but untuck it. Add a pair of dark skinny jeans. Keep the pointy heels. And you've got yourself an outfit! =)

Colorful printed graphic T, blazer (probably in black or gray), and skinny jeans with fun, colored heels.

Or maybe try layering it over a dress? Add a scarf? I think it reads SUPER BUSINESS! with the black and white pallate, and if you want something less businessy you're gonna need to add some color and less structured pieces.

Good luck!
