In More Ways than One: Houndstooth Tuxedo Vest Look#1

  • I am starting a series called “In More Ways than One”, IMWO for short, because everything in life needs to be acronymed.
  • IMWO is pronounced “I M Wo” because trust me, I AM WHOAAAAAA.
  • Inspired by the Uniform Project, I will designate an item in my closet as a constant and attempt to create as many different outfits with it as I possibly (or impossibly) can.
  • My goal is to explore the potential of my wardrobe and free my mind from constantly wanting to own more and more things.  We have too many things.
  • I also hope that you, as a witness to my pilgrimage, will learn to look into your own closet with appreciation and intent.  Overconsumption is a poison to the mind.  We have to be thankful for what we have.
  • There are no rules, because rules don’t rule when it comes to fashion.

First up to bat is a houndstooth tuxedo vest from Club Monaco.  It came into my possession in the Winter of 2008 when it was on sale.  I picked it up because of its rather masculine cut and feel.

So let’s do this.  Here we go with outfit #1.  It’s nothing earth-shatteringly amazing, but a good work outfit is a good start.  The houndstooth and the pattern of the silk scarf make an interesting combination.

Silk Scarf: Hong Kong
Pants: Hong Kong
Shoes: Hugo Boss – my newly acquired work shoes!

  2. OMG. So I have a problem with vests. I love to buy them. I don’t know how to wear them. I am LOVING this idea of yours – can’t wait to see all the outfits you put together with this FAB vest.

    I also love houndstooth! I’m kinda thinking I want to come steal your vest.

  3. Cute! That’s a great idea! the scarf added such a nice touch of color. The vest is too cute and I think you’ll be able to do a lot with that. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next

  4. It’s interesting how sexy you look in this outfit :) I love how the “masculine” pieces still look fitted on you and flaunt your curves :) Love how you added the scarf as well! :D
