Not quilty...

Ahhh quilt clothing. It conjures up images of craft fairs filled with silver haired women hawking wooden dolls and personalized wares with your name spelled out with those little dotted balls at the end of each letter. (Sounds like my kind of place!) I picked up this quilt vest about a month ago at the Salvation Army, I showed it around and got the kibosh on it from pretty much everyone I know (especially the boyfriend!) I vowed then and there to show'em all, it COULD be cool gosh darnit, it...COULD! It's all about accessorizing and doesn't Chanel make everything cooler anyway? I thought so. Does the vest make the cut? Is it "So Ugly it's Cool?" or do I restrict myself to only wearing it to the Ohio Historical museum where the old ladies will "ooh" and "ahhh" over it and tell me that they made they grand daughter one just like it a few years ago, come to mention it, whatever DID happen to her vest? ;)
(PS-Almost everything for this outfit, 99% came from the thrift store. The earrings too can you believe? The jeans are the only exception.)
(PSS- How interesting is my cat object d'art that lives in front of my fireplace? Quilts for any surface? Oh yeah! I have a strong inkling Gloria Vanderbilt would wildly approve.)

Oh you always prove me wrong...I love it! The modern jeans and Chanel earrings (along with those kick ass shoes) take it to a whole new direction! P.S. I'm with you on Vanderbilt and that cat!
