Contest and Blogger Meet Up

Hello my lovely readers! Today I have something very special

To enter the contest you must leave a comment with the word VEST at the top and a few reasons descrbing why you like this piece. You must be a U.S. resident (sorry!). I will run the contest for 15 days and you can leave up to three comments per person on this post. At the end of the contest I will use a randomizer to generate the winning comment. If you do not have a blog where I can contact you, please leave your email.
  If the winner's size in this particular item is no longer available, the winner will be able to choose any item from this designer. Thank you for understanding and good luck!

Mink Pink

I am also really happy to announce the Chictopia Clothing Swap/Blogger Meet Up.
If you are in the Bay Area come out and meet me and the rest of the Chictopia team.
I would really love to meet my fellow bloggers, so please come. We will have drinks, great clothing to swap and who knows maybe you'll make a new friend.

This fringe vest could add and edge to any outfit. I could see myself pairing it with a simple tee and jeans combo. It's also a great layering piece.

And I wish I could make it to the meet-up, it sounds fun! I didn't know about the clothing swap though.

What an awesome piece, a great addition to any wardrobe. I love the boldness of the extended fringe on the simple silhouette. I would wear it with a little floral dress or cut-offs for a relaxed summer look. Then update it for fall with a billowy blouse, jeans and lots of hardware.

And unfortunately I live in Florida, but I'm sure the swap will be great.
I don't have a blog anymore, but my email is: zofiasunshine@aol.com

I am a sucker for fringe! I own a pair of wanna-be minnetonka's from f21. I personally think this vest could end up being so versatile. I imagine myself wearing it with a loose fitting tank, some destroyed denim shorts, and either my gladiator sandals or my fringe boots OR with a black body hugging tube dress, some peep toe ankle booties, and some key jewelry accessories.

Michelle Elaine said...

Oh p.s. I wish I wasn't leaving for Hawaii tomorrow so I could join the festivities at the blogger swap! Let me know more about such events!!

Style Porn said...

I'm soooo sad I won't make it to the blogger meet-up. I'm going to be up in Marin at the beach. Are you guys going to be doing this again any time soon? I'd love to meet you.

i have been searching the world over and scouring vintage stores for a fringe vest that totally epitomizes 70s fashion, and this is IT. i love that the fringe is just a little longer than expected, and that caramel color makes it so versatile

Lady said...

VEST

hahaha this wonderful peice of meat would be greaaat!
(well 'cept for the dead animale part)

I think this would become a great era outfit, a good way to say au revoir to summer, pondering the Summer of Love during Woodstock back in the day, dreaming, only dreaming of how rediculously awesome it would be to have Janis Joplin's vocal masterpiece.
The strings are extraaa-long, and the colour isn't too overdyed, which gives it an authentic look!
Plus, imagine how many wonderful cowgirl//indian adventures or photo snaps can you possibly do with this.
I do believe this vest would have a life of it's own, and I have quite a buncha pals who would like to share this lovin' summmma delight.

Thanks! And you have yourself a very merry nice day!

Whoops! I meant pinup reinactments! Being the cowgirl usiing a plastic revolver from your local ice cream truckaa, or playing victim with a might colourful headdress

I've been so obsessed with fringe lately... fringe earrings, fringe sandals, contemplating a bright red fringe bag! I would probably drown in this vest, seeing as the fringes are so long... but with a vintage long shirt/AA mesh minidress and simple heels, I'd totally wear this every day!

As a young professional, I find it hard to justify spending money on really trendy items. But that doesn't mean that I don't love them! This piece is really incredibly versatile but wouldn't be something I could afford to purchase for myself. Thanks for having this contest!

Christen said...

VEST

This vest would look amazing with a blue French Connection dress I own. Keeping my fingers crossed!

And because I'm allowed three comments... Some denim shorts; a flowy, long-sleeve blouse; and crazy cool wedges - perfection!

Thanks again for doing this!

Oh I love the vest! It would be such a great staple item for this coming up Fall season. I love the exaggerated fringe the most.

Amber said...

As a self proclaimed Urban Hippie this vest is to die for. I'm also a bellydancer and completely enamored with the long fringe. A lovely piece!

Katie said...

VEST

Fudge, I can't believe I missed the clothing swap! Is there going to be another one in the near future??

And I think that vest would be a nice tough-love-child addition to my grungy-meets-girly style.

vest

i love this, it's such a statement piece and is perfect for layering. it's got such a laid back hippie vibe and i would wear it with a black body con dress or just jeans and a t shirt. to be honest if i had this i would probably somehow manage it into everything i wear! :P

i hope there's a clothing swap in chicago at some point!!!

I absolutely love it. I saw a similar one in Maine while I was there and wish I had picked it up then. I could definitely see myself wearing it over a little dress with sandals. I think it will look amazing with my new fringe/bangs hairstyle!!

i love this vest because it is totally with the current bohemian trend. unlike most i don't just pair a vest with a plain shirt. i love wearing vests with EVERYTHING. my newest way is wearing them with dresses, which as far as i know is not a common trend. the best part about this vest is that i can wear it year round--in the summer with a patterned top and some shorts paired with big sunglasses, in fall with super skinny jeans, in winter with a cozy knit dress, and in spring with an airy floral dress!

yjudaes said...

VEST

Lately I've been into wearing really simple pieces... classic boyfriend t-shirts with denim shorts or skirts. I've always loved vests and they are the perfect way to dress up an outfit - especially a fringe vest like this one, which pairs perfectly with a worn-in tee and a ragged denim shirt for that effortless bohemian look.

I could never have too many vests. I actually only have two and this would be the edgy addition I need to my wardrobe. I love the fringe on it, it looks so playful and fun to me to add on to an outfit
Thanks for the offer

I've been looking for a vest like this forever, but they've all cost too much. I definitely need a vest in that cut and style. I mean the fringe on it is just love. If I feel an outfit is too plan I always feel the need to add a vest and this would be perfect.
