‘Tis The Season for the Vest

Vests have slowly made a comeback. Last season it was all about the slinky black leather vest. This season I have seen countless numbers of people wearing faux fur (and maybe even real fur!) vests over sleeveless tees, skinny jeans and enormous boots. And, of course, there is the ever so popular puffy vest. The puffy vest has a special place in my heart, as I swore them off for the rest of my life after I spent a year in northern Wisconsin. All the girls wore was a puffy vest and snow boots every single day. I did not understand it in the beginning, but, by the time the first snow fell, I realized that the puffy vest was really actually very warm! I wore that vest to death…and after that vest was worn to death it never came out again. It’s been 11 years. And the vest has remained in the closet as well as a distant memory.

However, if you’re still looking to create that special vest “memory” as I have with the puffy vest, then why not try these trendy pieces from ShopBop?
