One of my favorite ways to make a simple cotton plus size dress seem more interesting is to pair it with a brightly colored moto vest. Here this grey floral dress from Torrid gets a sense of rugged adventure when topped with a sassy maroon vest. Plus, I get pockets. I need pockets. I mean what if I find an amazing rock? I need a pocket to put it in. What if a sexy male suitor gives me his business card and asks me to call him? I need a pocket to it in. What if my fingers get inexplicably cold? I need a pocket to put them in. See pockets are important! 
I like the outdoorsy look the vest creates. It’s like, I was going to go to the mall, but then I put on this vest and decided to walk in the woods and contemplate life. Its got just enough edge to be a signature look for any grown up tomboy.
I created this fun and flirty but decidedly rugged look with the following items:
- Floral t-shirt dress
- Red Moto style vest: No longer available, but I like this alternative
- Torrid Braided Mini Wedges
- NYX Copenhagen lip creme
- Benefit Gimme Brow in Medium
- Vintage circle cut out earings
