Want to shake up your standard weekend uniform of jeans and a t-shirt? (See also: jeans and a sweater.) I suggest throwing on a few extra layers and a pair of oxfords.
I started with a basic striped tee + skinny ankle-zip jeans. A chambray shirt worn as a jacket is my second layer, and a much-loved military vest is the third. Lastly, I slipped on a pair of brown brogues and a pendant statement necklace. Presto– I’m ready to tackle the weekend.
I’m going to spend my last Monday of 2013 prepping the house to receive guests on NYE, hitting the gym (I’ve been on holiday long enough, ha!), and getting ready for my birthday tomorrow. Wishing you a 2014 full of health and happiness. See you all in the new year!
Your outfit has me looking forward to spring, when I can pull out my chambray pieces again. Your birthday falls on an especially opportune moment; have a great celebration!
Thanks gorgeous, means a lot! 🙂
I’m kinda hooked on your instagram, it has been quiet at the office this week and I’ve been browsing through the posts 🙂 I’m an instagram-geek 😀
Have a great day, ps. I love this mixing, the vest looks so good with denim!

This is a great look-its amazing how a striped shirt and jeans went from a Nantucket inspired look to urban street style at is best…It’s all about the layers. I also love how the olive green vest gives the look a hint of vintage. You nailed it sista!
Such a chic casual look that I am pinning to re-create. Got to find shoes like yours, first. I hope you had a marvelous Birthday Celebration and a Happy New Year.
Here is to a Bright, Bold & Beautiful 2014 for you, Ashley!! Thanks for supporting my blog and continue doing so. You can follow me on bloglovin, too, by the way. =)
Hey Maggie, I appreciate you taking the time to provide this feedback. I love my closet and it’s a big part of my blog, but have definitely considered other locations. Keep checking back! Take care.
Awesome, army vest and denim shirt – perfect paring! XO

Is it possible for you to take your pictures somewhere else? Having your closet behind you is so distracting.
