This has been sitting in my "unpublished" file FOREVER- well, all summer, but I'm still sharing because my vest love era is still in full effect. If you saw me out and about this summer you for sure saw me in a vest (or a neck scarf, but more on that to come). I couldn't stop wearing them! They seemed to so effortlessly elevate any look and update it to make it cool and trendy. The added bonus? As an aging woman I find that I no longer really feel comfortable showing off all the goods in strapless or spaghetti strapped clothes. It's hot out there, but I feel more comfortable with a little more coverage (armpit fat you're going undercover). Enter the vest- all types of them!
As you will see in the pics below (and above) my denim vest is my most beloved. I love it over every single jumper I own, it has brought new, fun life to dresses I was planning to retire, and goes with every. single. thing. My pic would be this cropped denim vest on Amazon. It is just the right length and just the right price. They also have different shades of denim so you can play with that. Now that it's getting cooler, I might want to add a darker denim shade to my arsenal.
Another Amazon best seller for a reason is this cute linen vest. There are a lot of color options here and for the price you can go wild with all sorts of color combinations and outfit inspiration. Kate is wearing the white one below which is so spring and summery and chic!
Below both me and my friend Anissa are rocking the black lined version which I plan to really amp ump and revisit this vest this fall and winter. Tossing it on over everything.
Okay just to prove my love for the vest, especially the denim vest, I just took a peak at my camera roll from the past couple of months and here is just a sampling of all the times I was sporting it. Strongly in my vest era.
It was a perfect choice to travel in during summer because I knew it was going to be super hot when we got off the plane, but I was able to just toss a scarf over it for the flight, which I took off when we landed. I plan to do more of the vest/scarf combo as we get into the in between temps this fall.
