While we were in Vegas the weather was what I call heaven on earth. Middle 60’s with lots of sunshine. Absolutely perfect. It was such a welcome change from the dreary, humid and bitter cold days that Kansas has been having lately. In case you haven’t gotten the theme from the trip, it was pretty much perfect.
I wore this outfit to fly out there in and was originally going to change into another one. I wasn’t crazy about how it looked but it was comfortable and compared to what other people were wearing I felt like I could get away with it. I decided to hit the ground running with Andrew and I wore this from 7 am to 1 am. I am so thankful that I decided to wear my comfortable ankle booties although they are basically black from dirt and scuffs from our late night walk to buy Andrew a swimsuit because he forgot one. (Which, as you remember, swimming is how Andrew’s phone was ruined.) We walked a mile on the strip and realized that a) the strip has some realllllyyyy creepy stores late at night and b) if I am annoyed slightly Andrew should buy me shoes to make he happy again. He figured this one out on his own.
Vest: Refugee (exact)
Jeans: Gap (exact)
Purse: XXI Forever (similar with pockets)
The shoes were a nice little incentive for me to not be cranky from all of the walking we did. Looking back at it now I realize they were some great memories of the random conversations we had while getting the suit. At the time though I was exhausted and running on fumes. A pair of BP shoes along with a pair of Nine West wedges from Andrew did the trick for making me happy. That and a diet coke. But mostly the shoes.
So I came home from Vegas with some money from blackjack and most importantly, new shoes! And probably up a pound or two due to the delicious food we ate. But let’s not think about that right now.

Andrew is a smart guy, shoes will do the trick every-time you look so comfy and cute. Great outfit for walking around.

Haha, he knows the way to a girl's heart! I'm always looking for new ways to wear my cargo vest so I may just have to recreate this 🙂

I think that is a pretty good travel outfit, most people look like they rolled out of bed when they get off a plane. New shoes are a good incentive for anyone, really, who does not love the way they feel in a brand new pair of shoes?
Also, my standard vacation logic – as long as you walk everywhere, you can eat whatever you want and it balances out.

I love this vest belted, I'm glad you had fun. I've never been but my husband has for work and he said the strip was really long too.

Aww poor booties. How nice to get some replacements though 😉 The strip is loooooong, especially at 1 in the morning 😉

Oh yes, shopping makes everything better on vacation. We often use the daytime to explore and then hit the shops in the hour before they close. I might be completely exhausted, but when I can go shopping the pain is alllll gone, haha. I'm curious about your new shoes! Hope the weather allows you to show them off soon ^^ xo

By my calculations, the long walk completely negates any extra calories you may have consumed, so don't even worry about it! I need to tell my husband this shoe-buying secret!
Danielle Doerr
You look amazing as always! I love how you paired the jacket with a sweater — I had never thought of that! I'm glad you two had a great time in Vegas!!

How could you not be happy with this outfit?! IT IS SO CUTE! And I'm still trying to decide what I'm wearing on the plane ride in… and also what to wear daytime. At least I got my nighttime looks figured out!
