Still trying to maximize my summer wardrobe. I usually layer underneath with a pair of leggings since this week has been surprisingly cold.
Totally forgot I had this vest! Bought it a while ago and recently found it in my closet…with cash in the pocket!!! The vest still had tags attached, so I must have tried it on and put money in the pocket? Dumb ish, but I’m $20 richer…haha.
My lace/mesh maxi is from Free People. Another style here. Utility/Cargo vest is from Old Navy (had it for a while). There’s a khaki style on sale here or here. Bag – Marc Jacobs. Earrings – Flea Market.

about StylePantry–
Every Wednesday, I’m going to open my closets to Curly Nikki community and invite you all in. This is my story as a working mother of 3, fashionably chasing my kids around. It’s one thing for us to point at the runways, drool over the lookbooks, and pick off the shelves of our favorite boutiques, but more importantly, we as fashion-minded people need to share our styles more. So please, leave your comments and share your thoughts, and by all means submit your fashion/style questions or “where to shop” for certain pieces to @stylepantry on Twitter or on Facebook.

Rest room marketing techniques you pertinent query previous to building. Will probably be quick to write down remarkable write-up because of this. Fashionable Cloth
I think I like it 100% better without the jacket. and definitely better than zipping the jacket up. BUT, that frog bracelet is everything under the sun!! LOVE it!
SMH, why does this have to look so damn good!?
This is such a cute look!!
I usually detest everything she styles herself in each week. But this is gorgeous. Let me just say. Her style is growing on me.

Great outfit! Love the dress paired with the vest left open. Thanks for sharing these..very helpful to those like me that have a hard time stepping outside of the box with fashion.
what shoes are you wearing?
I love this look – the whole package.
Love the look! The vest is a nice addition.
Love the dress!

The only hate going on are those that can't accept a personal opinion/preference in style. So maybe you should keep it moving…it's a free country to voice an opinion, otherwise don't post if you can't take the "heat".
You look AMAZING!
Love it!! I'm currently obsessed with maxi-anything…great styling idea. Keep 'em coming!
You have amazingly gorgeous style! The dress is beautiful and it looks great with the green jacket which adds new shaping and style! It's amazing to see the possibilities with a good pieces.
I love it! Especially the way you accessorized it all!
Folake is so fly! Girl I wish I could do it like you missy!
OMG!!! LOVE that frog!!!
LOOVE this look from head to toe!!
Okay, LOVE this look!!! Love the jewelry, the dress, the layers, the bag!! Fab! And, too funny, because I winterized a black eyelet summer skirt today and took pics when I got home from work to post on my site!! I previously did a post on winterizing summer pieces and plan to post this as another example!!

Is Anonymous 4:56, the same "Anonymous" that pops up everytime StylePantry is featured? Stop the hate….PLEASE. She's fly and you know it.
I'm loving this look! Keep your head up StylePantry, these chicks wish they could rock your looks. You make it look effortless!
@Anonymous 4:56 – It's her personal style and she can do whatever she wants. If you don't like it, keep it moving. Since when did you become an expert?
I love Style Pantry because she does what the hell she wants and doesn't try to please anyone. She sets her own rules. Go girl. You rock.
Cute!
Fabulous
If that hair is real, I am loving it.
I absolutely love it!! I love the fact that you have your own unique style. If you ever get tired of that purse please send it my way.
Love this look!
Very cute! I need that dress and vest in my life.
Nice look but my preference would be either the earrings or the necklaces (with studs). There is too much going on with bold pieces — keep it classic but trendy. Also, the dress is too long, trip hazard, looks like she borrowed it from a 6 foot tall model.
Love the look! You make it look so easy. 🙂 You are my hair and fashion crush. LOL!! I actually broke out the Dax a couple of days ago and had a nice twist out.:)
