one look, two ways | the chocolate brown vest

Uncategorized

August 6, 2025

It’s BACK… everyone’s favorite street style blog series = one look, two ways. I’ve shown you how to style all things eyelet, fun abstract pants, the little loft midi must, and the ever popular Colette Pants and now I’m back to deliver on your wish and grant you all access to everything chocolate brown.

There is something SO satisfying about finding a single piece that works effortlessly across occasions + seasons = and that’s exactly why I’m so excited to share this statement Chocolate Brown Scoop Vest [wearing XS/runs TTS] from Target’s A New Day line. It’s that perfect in-between piece that feels tailored without being too buttoned up, and I love that it can go from daytime errands to a dressier night out just by switching up what you pair it with!!

I’m always looking for pieces that make getting dressed easier—and this one does just that… with an under $30 price tag to make it even more memorable = and yes, you’ll want all three colorways because it is THAT good! Think church, girls’ lunch or even a back-to-school events where you want to look pulled together but still feel like yourself. Keep scrolling to see two totally different [but equally fabulos] ways to wear it!

You know I love a good monochromatic moment, and this Brown Ribbed Sweater Skirt [wearing XS/runs TTS] was made to go hand in hand alongside the brown vest. The ribbed texture adds dimension, while the pleated shape gives just the right amount of movement. It feels practically pulled-together without trying too hard, and I finished the look with Tan Block Sandals, oversized After Party Sunglasses, and stacked Allie + Bess Seasonal Stacks [NATASHA20 for 20% off] to keep things chic and polished. Whether you’re heading to brunch or a meeting, this look checks all the boxes—comfy, coordinated and super flattering.


Now let’s have a little fun with it! For the second look, I swapped the skirt for my Abercrombie Gingham Barrel Pants [run TTS/wearing XXS] and I love how the structure of the vest balances out the relaxed shape of the pants = again with the beautiful brown tones for fall, but great to sport now since we are still basking in the heat of an endless summer that is the south! The soft brown tones tie together so easily, and I added my new Dior Jolie Bag and Gianni Bini Sandals for that effortless-meets-elevated vibe. This one’s perfect for daytime errands, casual lunch dates, or anytime you want to feel put together without being too matchy matchy.

Ready to dive into a fab fall with my beloved Chocolate Brown Scoop Vest?? Have no fear I’ve created three more style boards for endless ways to wear and share your look with everyone around you. From office to the school’s tailgate and of course weekend rest + relaxation, I’ve assembled more looks to keep you looking bold in brown this season:
