Inspiration Monday Sept. 10 — Rachel Bilson
I lightened this pic so the details of this polka-dot tank were more visible
I darkened the contrast here for a moodier feel — I like all the silhouettes and shadows in this pic!
Date? Sept. 10, 2012
What for? This week’s “Inspiration Monday” style challenge is super-casual, by way of Rachel Bilson, and while I could have replicated her original look pretty closely (see my olive green jacket in action here), I decided to mix it up with a new navy-and-red-polka-dotted tank (that I got for free!) and my olive green vest. Soooo happy I snapped up this versatile cargo vest — I wore it all through our Texas trip, so practical for travelling — and I can picture a lot of use throughout the fall. Also, my feet are not ready for closed-toe shoes just yet. It’s still summer up here! It’s calendar-official and everything. Plus, I’m too lazy to switch out my closet again to get ready for fall layering. It will happen soon, I’m sure. Just not yet. 
Details?
- Skinny jeans: Target (spring)
- Tank top: Old Navy (new! and free because of coupon)
- Cargo vest: Old Navy (new! and free because of gift card)
- Espadrille wedges: Banana Republic (years ago)

Hey Jen! Looking great! I love anything navy with red dots on, so loving your top! The vest is a great item too!
Thanks Kezzie!
ok you are the second inspiration person to sport that ON vest
it is so cute, wonder if they still have them in stock

I would definitely check! I know this vest, and a prior Old Navy version, has been making the style blog rounds, but it’s so practical and versatile that I’m refusing to call it a trend.
i hate that everyone has this cute vest and they are sold out online. i might need to head to a store and see if they have anymore. i don’t hate you, i’m just jealous=) you look beautiful!
Gotta admit, I’m loving this Old Navy vest — I hope there are still some in stores! I grabbed the last one available at my local store. I wonder if it’s overkill that I have both an olive jacket and an olive vest. Nah, they’re both great!
You are totally rocking this look. I love your hair, the vest, the whole look from head to toe!
Wow, thanks Lindsay!
