Five Minute Fashion Fix: Dressing Up a Plain White Tee and Jeans

For this installment of the Five Minute Fashion Fix, I am starting with the classic outfit of a plain white tee and jeans. Super cool if you are an extra from Grease, not so cool if you are trying to look put together.

Today's Five Minute Fashion Fix is to throw on a menswear inspired vest and a pair of flats. Dress up the vest with a flower pin, if that is your style. Or opt for a graphic necklace or a great pair of earrings.

Time to put on the Five Minute Fix? About 34 seconds, including the time it takes to dig the vest out of the pile of dirty laundry at the foot of my bed. 

What? Just me?

This is the perfect outfit for running after small children and the tweed fabric hides stains that may come from an errant child. Chime in? What alternatives could you see for the vest?
