14.05.12 :: When I tried the Racer Front Vest look inspired by @afterDRK

A simple @HM charcoal grey vest worn backwards a la @afterDRK with my @TheHulot Prussia Tan Leather Satchel, my @SwaggaandSoul Daisy Leather Biker Jacket and @LamaPeach Paige boots from @YBDfashion. Check Shirt, Wooden Tribal style faux-ear tunnel and my Leather & gold cuff are from @Topshop. The red paisley scarf is vintage, a gift off my nana. Make-up-wise: I opted for Boots 17 natural dark brown eyeshadow and Urban Decay Glide-on eyeliner pencil in ‘Stash’ for a smokey eye look, and a couple of coats of Dior Diorshow Extase Mascara in Black. 

I’ve been working from home all day today so I thought I would give this Racer Front look a go without the risk of anyone apart from my boyfriend thinking I’m a twonk and have gotten dressed half asleep… basically by turning what is meant to be a Racer Back vest the wrong way round… Da da! I saw this look worn by the beautiful @afterDRK on her fab blog, read it here: BACK TO FRONT | @afterDRK and wanted to see how it felt… 

I thought it looked quite cool but JMG was a little wary of my chest falling out of the sides… Which is fair enough. Ideal for those of you with pert little breasts like Kate Moss… However if you’ve an ample bosom you have to be a bit careful of any accidental side-boob appearances… Either that or choose a vest with a slightly tighter in fit.
