I Tried TikTok's Gas-Station-Core Trend and Felt Like Britney Spears in "Crossroads"

As soon as I spotted a rack of neon-orange-and-yellow safety reflective vests at my local gas station, I was instantly inspired. I immediately thought "oversize," planning to layer the mesh design over my favorite puffer vest and go for a leggy lampshade moment. I thought the pattern of the pockets, tabs, and shiny strips would complement my Coachtopia checkerboard bag, and I wore socks with a contrasting scalloped trim and platform clogs to accent the details.

My outfit: ASOS Design Puffer Vest ($45), Ergo Bag in Checkerboard Patchwork Upcrafted Leather ($350), Princess Polly Lanter Socks ($12), and Mou Eskimo Clog Twist ($320)
