I love how accessories can easily transform a look -- especially a great bag or belt. An interesting belt or a handbag with great details can elevate even the simplest of looks. For this casual-chic outfit I went with one of my favorite utility vests, but decided to wear it as a top. I love the look of a belted blazer or vest (if you haven't tried it yet, you really should). I think it gives off such an effortless-chic vibe and I love how it cinches my waist.
I always love to incorporate some color into my looks, so these vintage tribal belts really helped to liven up my neutral pieces. My new saddle bag from GiGi New York also served as the perfect pop of color. This pretty blue hue is called "Hydrangea", which could not be more fitting. I think it's so fresh for spring! I finished my look with these new strappy wedges from Aerosoles. They're the perfect sandal to dress up or down and they are beyond comfortable, y'all. They seriously feel like your walking on pillows. I could wear them all day.
