An outfit from errors
Error #1: When I saw Jackie wear her Old Navy utility vest (we have the same one. Actually everyone has this one!) with a striped shirt I was totally in love. Except I don't have a striped shirt like that. I thought I did; but I gave it away to Goodwill. I subbed in this purple and white striped shirt that I got on sale. Error # 2: my laundry wasn't clean so my pants choices were flared jeans or no pants. I chose the flares. I can't decide if I'm happy with them or not. So I ended up with this outfit because I didn't think it through when I imagined putting it together. An outfit form errors.
My long necklace is an antique silver fork manipulated into an octopus! (Quadropus? Because it only has four arms? I don't care I love it.)
OH THIS PURSE! I've been searching for this bag since last fall. Kacie of Shy Girl Loud Voice had it and I was like, you need to be MINE! I looked every where! I finally posted it on The Hunt and found it on a high-end resale site. I was very happy with my purchase, they guarantee authenticity and quality. My bag has one tiny scratch but I bet you can't see it. :) I am one happy Ashleigh! This bag epitomizes my style. Classic, with a twist. I can dress it up or down, pair with bohemian clothes or work ensembles. It's roomier than it looks too!
Sunglasses: Dollar Tree (Yep. The Dollar Tree. I lose sunglasses too much to pay more than $1 for them!)
Tee: JC Penny
Vest: Old Navy (still in stores!)
Jeans: American Eagle (old)
Converse: Target
Bag: Kate Spade, Resale Shop (Can I say this is thrifted since it's used???)
Heart Necklace: Tiffany's
Nameplate Necklace: Loralei's Charms
Octo-fork Necklace: Sin City Antiques in Newport KY (Does this count as thrifted since it's an antique fork? I think so.)
Green Amethyst Bangle: Thrifted

I love your interpretation of this look!! So pretty, Ash!

Thanks Darcy! I liked it too. Plus, that vest has so many pockets I honestly didn't need my purse.
It may be an outfit of errors, but you look great! I love flared jeans with converse. I feel like they always looks perfectly casual and cool when paired together. And that bag is amazing. What a find!
Exactly. Flared jeans and converse sneakers reminds me of High School ( I graduated in 04.) I lived in this kind of look minus the nice bag, vest, and Tiffany necklace for like 4 years.
Yay!! I was so happy when I saw your look on Instagram today. You look fabulous and even though I may have played a role in inspiring this look, you're totally the reason I had to buy it :)
I'd also totally count the bag as a thrifted find for a modern day thrifter. GOOD ONE!

Something About That
Thanks Jackie! I love this vest. It just has so many pockets!
You look amazing. I like the bag you selected.
Ah the bag! Your rocking it, it looks perfect too I don't see one tiny scratch! I love how you paired it with the stripes and the military vest, it's such a cool combo!
Super cute, I really need a vest like this!
I didn't think I'd wear it as much as I do. It's really versatile!
I was so happy to find it. I just liked the look when I saw it in you, I had no idea it was calf hair or that the lock was so near. I ❤️ It.
Thank you lily.
OH! It is so cute! haha, this always happens to me, I either don't have one piece of the puzzle or something is buried in my dirty laundry! And holy cow, your purse is gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous!
cute outfit! love the vest!
Thanks mark!
beautiful look! love the effortlessness look of it, casually chic! xx
The dollar tree is where it's at. I buy flip flops there too lol.
I love this purse. I literally sit there and stare at it. And the clasp is awesome. The gold square on the front flips up and then the purse will open. Child proof!
Thanks Bree!
We absolutely love the look of striped shirts under vests, we'll definitely be styling this combo now that it's cooling down in Australia!! We're also obsessed with your bag, especially with the leopard printed part!

The leopard part is actually calf hair! I didn't realize it when I was looking for it, I just knew I wanted it. It's a nice, luxe touch!
Love the bag, great find! You pull off flare pants so much better than I can. Hugs!

Thank you Becky! I think you'd look fabulous in some long flared pants and chunky heels! Kind of 70s.
My accidental outfits never turn out this good. lol. I say you need to create more outfits from errors. And I say you need to give me that purse too :)

Just found your blog and LOVE it. Crazy coincidence, in my latest post (shopping my closet #4), I feature a shirt I got a t Walmart for (drumroll...) three bucks! Great chic and easy look.
Cheers,

I don't see any errors, I think this entire outfit is fun and works!
You have such a great collection of bags and this one is no exception. Love it and the necklace! Super cute.
You won't want the purse. My kitten is teething and gnawed a corner of it. I had it for 6 days :( I should have put it up but he's never done anything like that before. My Husband says you can barely see it but I know it's there :(
Thanks Rebecca! I actually wore those pants again today. I forgot how much I love flares.
Thank you!
Aw thanks. I just felt weird in the pants. No one wears flared pants anymore! I do like that they balance my hips out though.
Thank you Troy! I actually went back to the antique store to get a bracelet to match. I really wish that I had a gold fork she could bend up. I like gold more!
That bag is GORGEOUS! I love the leopard print on it.

Love your outfit and purse. This looks so well out together I would never have thought this was accidental!
Thank you Angela!
Ash, I love this look. So relaxed and yet put together and sunglasses looks on you amazing. That pink lipstick is gorgeous. Oh, and fab bag.
Hope you're having wonderful week so far.

We all learn from outfit mistakes, but you look great! I like the vest paired with the striped shirt, and even tho it's not the one you originally wanted, it still looks great. Love the handbag as well.

Thank you Monica!
I need to incorporate this vest into a summer look. It's just sitting in my closet waiting for fall.
Thanks! You know two days late my kitten (who was teething) gnawed one of the corners a bit? I was so MAD! You can't REALLY tell but I had just gotten it!
Thanks Londyn! Is that your real name? My daughter's name is London as well!
Holy crap how did I not see that you commented on my blog? Holy Grail comment!
And I obsessively LOVE the dollar tree. IT's sad lol.
Thanks Ana.
Well thank you!
It's still available at Old Navy and I think it comes in more colors now!
Those are my favorite kinds of outfits!
It ended up fine, I just felt weird. No one wears flared jeans anymore! I felt like a throw back to the early 00s.
Thanks Christine.
I love it too. It feels so old school!
Thank you Sandy!
Thanks Melissa!
Aw, coming from the bag queen herself! Your bags are the envy of my dreams.
It turned out ok! It was so comfy, and the vest has so many pockets I really didn't need the skirt!
That is so cool! I wish I could claim it as my real name but it's a pseudonym :-) I use it so the blogging world is a bit separate from my normal working world! I love that it's your daughter's name.
