Utility Star-Studded Vest, Neon Bracelet and Rhinestone Necklace: Forever 21 Plus
Yellow Tube Dress: Greenhills
Yellow Wedges: Cotton On / Rubi
Vintage Leather Bag: Mom's
The pockets are an added bonus to place various knick-knacks in. Case in point, I didn't want to accidentally hit or snag my gold rhinestone necklace and risk losing one of the stones, so I placed it in a pouch tucked in my pocket to be worn upon arriving at the birthday party I was attending. The night went on and I enjoyed feasting in the buffet of the Crowne Plaza's Seven Corners, sneaking out a bit for some outfit photos and then coming back to realize I had forgotten to wear my necklace! Anyway, here it is for reference. Imagine how much bling-ier my outfit would have looked if the necklace was in the picture.
Hugs,
The Belated and Forgetful Bloomer

The utility vest offers some toughness here, and is not a bad touch with the pale yellow dress and these nice sandals. So I say this is a very cool outfit post. Nice one!
