Instant Vest!

So I'm ridiculously obsessed with Lindsay Lohan - always have, always will be - I just love everything about her, especially her style. So when I saw her in this amazing Current Elliott Vest I put it in my little "Things I Want" file for future purchasing. It's such a great vest - it's super flattering, as it cuts right at the waist, and while the wash, which Current Elliott terms, "Loved" (how fun is that!) is a little on the lighter side, I think it presents a great mixture of rocker-cowboy-hipster; a perfect addition/accessory to jazz up any outfit. 

However, when I went back home for vacation, ready to hint to my mother how much I really wanted this vest, I came across an old jean jacket, and before I knew it I had my own version of the vest. I had my sister (who is much more crafty than I) cut off the arms and loop through some elastic through the bottom, and Wa-La! The Current Elliott vest was done! While I know it's not the real deal, I'm still pleased with my economical thinking and crafty idea, and I got a great vest out of it. Especially considering I probably wore that jean jacket maybe twice, now at least I'll be getting some use out of it, even if that did require some minor adjustments.
