I've been looking for a fitted tweed waistcoat (vest) for ages now without much luck. Every Pin and Google search seemed to lead to a dead-end. I had a very specific style in mind and couldn't seem to find it anywhere. Of course, one brief mention to Thomas and he somehow hunted down the perfect waistcoat and his mother tailored it to fit me better! I would have thought that I, the fashion blogger and frequent online shopper, would have been the master at hunting down the elusive tweed waistcoat, but instead I was outwitted by a dark horse. But since this time the spoils did not go to the victor, I don't really mind admitting defeat. I already had loads of ideas in my head for how I'd style it, so a little remix was in order. Initially I thought I'd wear it loads with blouses and skirts (aka my typical style), but after having it for a couple of weeks I think I actually get more wear of it with jeans. It just adds so much more personality to a jeans ensemble and makes me feel a bit like Tomb Raider...
