Today I'm showing how you can add pink in a chic way to an otherwise basic outfit by simply adding a pink vest like I did here or a pink blazer.

Today's post will definitely stand out among my usual style blog posts but I felt compelled to write it because 1) I have mentioned this topic before and so many of you expressed interest in hearing my story 2) we live in the social media age where a lot of people live above their means to portray an aspiration lifestyle that has reminded me of me in my 20's and 3) I'm hoping that sharing my story will help any of you out there who may find yourself in a similar situation.
