Navy & Gray

Tuesday, February 05, 2013

I was watching CBS' Super Bowl pregame show over the weekend and couldn't help but notice how stylish Clay Matthews looked in his three-piece suit (not that he needs any help looking good). I searched but can't find a photo online. His vest looked to be cut lower, so it framed his jacket evenly when buttoned. I used that as the source of inspiration for today's outfit. I went with a menswear theme and buttoned the top button of my cardigan to mimic the "vest." To tip the scales back towards the feminine side a bit, I chose a high-neck lace top.

cardigan: Old Navy (similar)
tee: Uniqlo heattech tee (sold here)
ring: Forever 21 (similar)
pants: Express Editor (this season's sold here)
bag: Marc Jacobs large Single - gift from aunt (sold here)

      Oh yeah, that's a no-brainer. Can not wait until RG3 is healthy again! I really enjoyed the game and would've been happy to see either Ray Lewis leave on top or Randy Moss finally winning one... so it was win-win for me.
