I love vests, and I find myself wearing a vest at least half of the week {so it’s only fitting that I dedicate a blog post in honor of my love for them}! Vests up the comfy factor in the fall, and I love mixing a funky sweater or shirt under them to add some flare. I’ve picked some of my favorite vests that I’ve been wearing or lusting over this summer with some fun layering options.

Here are some of my favorite vest days from last week –
OMG! I seriously need more vests in my life! Love your picks, as usual 🙂

Chevron is always a good idea 😉 Thanks for stopping by Taylor!
Great vests! I definitely want to get one for the Fall!
Thanks Andrea! You'll have to post if you end up getting one – I love how you style things! xo!
I love the idea of wearing the vest with a sweater or cardigan. Too cute, I never thought about wearing it that way, but then again, in florida we don't really wear vests 🙁 But it is still so cute!
You should thank your lucky stars you don't have to wear vests in Florida! But I suppose it's easier to say that coming from the cold state of Wisconsin! Thanks for stopping by Milynn, you're so sweet 🙂
Just when I had myself convinced that I really didn't need a vest…I see your post and all of the fabulous ways your wear yours!!! If the Mr. gets mad about this purchase, I'm totally blaming you!ha:) Now following you.

Haha you are so sweet! And yes, I clearly have a borderline obsession with vests….so I try to bring them home without my boyfriend catchin on – whoops!
Thanks for following and stopping by!
Love the last two combinations! Especially that green vest! I have been looking high and low for a vest like that!

Thanks so much Erin! I got my own from J.Crew awhile back and I love it! I've seen them around, so if I find any I'll send them your way 🙂
Great idea! I love the middle combo with the J. Crew shirt – so cute. I've never been a big vest girl but I love how you belted yours in the last picture, that's totally my style 🙂

Love it! If you try it you'll have to let me know 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Stephanie, hope the puppy is well 🙂
I love vests too! Loving that fox sweater as well! Cute!
Thank you! And thanks for stopping by 🙂
I've been in love with them lately too! Especially here in Atlanta, where it's been cool in the morning, but warm by afternoon. Perfect thing to wear!
Atlanta weather sounds lovely right now (it's rainy and cold in Wisconsin!). Can't wait to see how you style them too!
I love the chevron and the fox options…so cute! I've never really worn a vest (except for a very unfortunate puffy one in middle school), but you're definitely convincing me!

Oh yes, I wore a lot of fleece vests in the day – but I've evolved into slightly more fashionable pieces 🙂 Thanks for stopping by Alyssa!
Glad I have someone to share my vest obsession with. I will take one of each sweater and vest and mix and match until I can't anymore. Love how you styled them!
Aww thanks Carly, you're the best 🙂
DAMN I love that foxy fox sweater. Not the price tag though :(. I have a black puffy vest that's been in my closet for ages. Judging by that navy blue j-crew vest, I'd say its back in style and ready to be worn again!
I know! The price tag is sad, but I found a few on ModCloth the last few weeks that are equally cute! And yes, bring out the vest for fall – I'd love to see how you style it!
