If I’m being honest, I don’t look for inspiration elsewhere when it comes to my personal style. This is because I generally don’t throw a ton of thought into my outfits. But I came across this outfit post by Eboni of Fashionista Next Door from August of 2010.
For starters, she is stunning! I really like what she did with this outfit. I want the blouse, but I especially want the vest. This is my attempt to try to beg talk her into sending it my way. OK, I kid (not), but she inspired this DIY military trench vest.
All I did was cut off the sleeves of this jacket and now I have a trench vest. Enjoy.. xo

Thank you, honey!
Hahaha, Eboni!!! You are too much. Where do I start? You can get a pair of these from bloomies or anthropology. They are by Seven for all mankind. DIY sheer skirts - Still contemplating making a collection out of it. You are getting one for free - if I do :) Stay tuned. The top is perfect on you. You can wear it in so many ways, and I'm happy to show/offer other choices. Thank you for regularly visiting Style Pantry. I really do appreciate you. x
