The stuff that dreams are made of

My creativity was not needed to put together this outfit, because it came to me in a dream. Yes, I dreamed about wearing this outfit - and when I woke up it still seemed like a good idea, so I went with it :)

I really like this vest, but this is only my third time wearing it in over a year of owning it. It just doesn't go with much, so I'm always pleased when I find a way to wear it.

Sweater and vest: Anthropologie

My name is Jones. Indiana Jones.

Here are pictures from a few days ago, where I decided to dress up as Indiana Jones. Not really, but doesn't the hat look like something he would wear?

This was only my second time wearing this vest. The trouble with having a wardrobe almost entirely full of brightly colored clothes is that it's hard to work something into the rotation if it's in a softer shade. So far I've only found three colors that go with this vest: brown, olive green, and white. Even black, which is generally what I turn to when I want to wear an unusual color, looks odd with this vest.

Brown turtleneck: Kohl's

Green vest: Anthropologie

Jeans: Levi's from Urban Outfitters

Brown boots: Jessica Simpson from Macy's

Green hat: vintage, gift from my dad

Gold necklace: Evidence Jewelry, won in a giveaway

On the fence

I'll be honest with you guys: I'm on the fence about this outfit. There are parts of it that I really like, such as the green on green with the vest over the dress, but then there are parts I feel meh about, like my whole leg area. (I'm thinking knee-high brown boots would have looked better.) But instead of indulging my insecurities and not posting it, I thought I'd ask all of you - what do you think about this outfit? What parts of it (if any) do you think worked, and what do you think I could have done to improve it? (Gosh, I feel like that question belongs on a test or something!) I know most comments that are left on fashion blogs are along the lines of "Great outfit!" but I promise you won't hurt my feelings if you tell me you don't like it :)
