denim vest: thrifted, diy/ pants: f21/ ring: inpink via giveaway from The Dapper Bun/ necklace and earrings: c/o max and chloe/ wedges: target
This morning I decided I wanted a denim vest so I took my thrifted denim jacket and hacked the arms off. I am such an instant gratification girl. I didn’t even think twice that cutting the arms off would also mean I no longer have a denim jacket. In that moment, all it meant to me was that I would have the denim vest I want with a few quick movements. So with no contemplation or weighing of the pros and cons, I got what I want.
All I can think today is “big hair, don’t care.” And I love it.
Today I have linked up with Callie from Coffees and Cardigans for Thrifter Thursday. You will have to check out her post to get what I am about to say: Great minds think alike.
At 1st glance I didnt think you cut off the sleeves….nicely done Hannah! This vest would take you to a lot of outfits!!

Hannah- I’ll sew your sleeves back on this fall, no problem!
Holding you to it!
Ooh I love how this turned out! Even if it means you don’t have a jacket anymore. You’ll just have to go thrifting again!
Any excuse for more thrifting!
Great printed pants and your hair looks awesome!

I want a denim vest so much, and now seeing yours makes that craving so much worse! (I don’t have a jacket to hack up.) Love your big hair, it’s fantastic, and so are those funky shoes!
Thanks Cara!
That sounds like something I would do. With no measuring and no regrets! I like your pants, too! Now I gotta check out Callie’s blog!

Yay for hacking off the sleeves! I had the same realization AFTER I did the same thing to my denim jacket. But I suppose it’s worth it. The denim vest looks great and I love it paired with the patterned pants. And I am having some major hair envy – wish mine held that much volume! Thanks so much for linking up for Thrifter Thursday!

I love thrifter Thursday!
you are so much like me…i want what i want and i want it right now. my wanting usually ends up in shopping rather than clothes battering, though! i think you made the right decision. you can always thrift another denim jacket!
Haha. I need what I want NOW!
Haha! LOVE IT glad you decided to do it! Looks great and you look stunning! I LOVE Your hair styled this way, it was meant for you!
Plus, those pants, I just love them so much!
Thank you Rachel! This hair style feels very “me” you are right.
I LOVE your big hair. Seriously. You look like a total bad-ass in this outfit. With the hair and the vest (which I wrote as fest for some reason) and those great pants. LOVE!
Anytime someone calls me a bad ass is a good time in my book. Thanks Gracey!
Those pants are making my day.

I saw Old Navy’s version. Probably a bit more fitted than mine- which would be awesome. I am just going to have to buy a new denim jacket!
Lol! I love that youre so impulsive! I would never have done this…Its super cute
Haha. Crazy lady with the scissors!
Love your ‘new’ denim vest and those cool pants. And your hair
looks so nice like that!

Thank you Loulou!
I can’t believe you hacked off the sleeves! I am such a wuss when it comes to doing things like that. The end result is awesome and I just love your pants too! Heather
I know. It was so impulsive. I don’t hate it though!

Thanks Shella! I spent about 1 minute on each sleeve. Just hacked them off! Haha.
I love the big hair!!!!
And I think the denim vest will get a lot of wear through fall, so I think it was a good move!
Thanks Katie. I think so too.
Diggin’ the pants!
I was so anti-denim vest when they started to become popular again, but now that I’m seeing you & others rock them, I kinda want one myself. Damn it.

Ha. That always happens to me. I wanted a denim vest, then didn’t when everyone bought one. But then I wanted one again. Haha.
Loving the denim vest on you! I’m so impressed that you just cut the sleeves off of a jacket, you definitely can’t tell. Your hair looks amazing like that too!
