I really hope you aren’t getting tired of my lil’ suede vest. This is her last show (at least for a while ;-P).
Today I’m wondering if a cool suede vest can ever look sweet and girly. So I teamed it with a cropped swing jacket and a denim shorts. Used a scarf as belt for more softness and femininity. Doesn’t she look lovely together with her friends?
Please Let me know what you think?

violet and blue combo is one of my all time favorites!!
okay opinion.. the upper part of the outfit looks a little “tough”. Would it be the combo of solid colors navy and violet have given some masculinity/strength to the outfit? Maybe the cropped jacket can be switched to a lighter and more airy piece, just wondering? or, some accessories can be added to the vest just to lighten up, like a brooch or something. i myself always encounter this problem (to lighten up) when i have a big piece of dark solid color to deal with
Thank you afterglow for your wonderful suggestion.
You are absolutely right, something in chiffon or silk as top will look more balanced with the shorts. Using of brooch is a great idea too, I just realize that I don’t have any brooches. Maybe it’s time to go shopping, ah?
Afterglow, Qiuyue, 你们好ya!!!
I like the purple jacket, the color is so beautiful. When I opened the page, your purple jacket caught my eyes immediately, just like “click”. Honestly I love how purple combined with black ( or navy? My damn screen, always misleading me) . I saw afterglow’s opinion, and she’s right, maybe you can pair with some light-colored pieces, like something silver or white, say a silver/white softy shoulder bag or something. Because the whole outfit looks really summer-y or early autumn-y, the upper part might be a little “heavy” comparing to the lower part… but the white shirt is also a nice clean touch ^_^ yeah!
Hi Shaonianxin!! I just noticed Qiuyue’s post title (sorry dear…) you’re right, the vest indeed is black!! :p silver shoulder bag sounds like a good idea. why on earth I could only think of a beige bag to match. now i have another item on my wish list
Hi Qiuyue~~ Miu miu always has some great brooches/pins. Some of them (not just Miu miu’s) weigh a ton so I guess we need heavier fabric to hold. I use them mostly on outerwear
Sometimes I’ll add one on necklace to make it look more fun!
这一身的色调组合很好,达到你要求的效果。我只有一点点小小的意见,你的上衣是紫色的,背心是深蓝的,领带是深蓝的,衬衫是白的,很好,可是腰带继续用紫和白,是不是太保守了? 试试绿色的scalf belt?
Dear afterglow, actually I didn’t notice the title, hehe… (sorry, Qiuyue
) so when you said navy, I thought it was navy too, you know, my computer does have this bad bad habit of always trying to confuse me on colors…. it’s my computer, baby ^_^, no worries!!
Beige is also a nice nice choice ^_^ great to go with blue denim minis ya!
Gals, I am sorry about the misleading color of the vest, it is indeed black. lol~~Will try to take a better picture next time.
afterglow, thanks for the recommendation regarding brooches.
shaonianxin,a silver/white softy shoulder bag sounds great. Thanks for the advice.
雁声, 我也觉得自己好像越来越保守了,现在买的东西也大都非黑既灰。紫配绿我也很喜欢。谢谢你的建议,下次一定试试。^_^
Dear, I just saw your new picture today. I love your black suede vest so much!! I also like the black and blue combination. Very neat and fresh!
And I agree with afterglow that the swing jacket may not be the best choice. Love your necklaces as always.
BTW, I love your blog music. I could listen to it forever…
bellring, thanks dear. Love love this suede vest too, so versatile. BTW, the black necklace is actually a belt from a dress.
I’m sure you can DIY something like this.
wow, never thought it’s a belt. That’s brilliant!
Are you going to show your new blazer from cos? I am so interested in it!
Yeah, I will. Let’s see if I can do it tomorrow, pls stay tuned.
hm.. 10x for text
It is useful to try everything in practice anyway and I like that here it’s always possible to find something new.
