Vests

Vests are one of my most favorite things to wear during the cold months because it can completely change up an outfit. Plus, depending on the color/pattern of the vest, they can be really versatile & worn with lots of different outfits! This post is going to feature a few different vests & a few different ways to style them. Enjoy. :)

the best basic...

This first vest is one of the best ones we've found this season & the best part? It's from Amazon! The second picture shows the detailing on the back really well. It tapers in where your waist is which gives a very flattering illusion which doesn't always happen when wearing a vest. It's very warm, but pretty light so you're not going to feel weighed down. Our hometown colors are red & black so of course some of our pictures are designed around that to show how great it looks for game day! I also paired it with my funky sleeve shirt & leggings for a Saturday that consisted of mainly errand running. This t-shirt is so fun! It's mostly white & then on the sleeves there is leopard & stripes. Overall, this vest can be so easily dressed up or down! It comes in 6 different colors & is less than $25.

sherpas...

How warm & cozy does Aves look?! I just want to hug her! Actually... I want her to hug me! We saw this cozy grey sherpa at WalMart & we had high hopes for it, little did we know how awesome it would really be! It looks so cute with this soft grey + white striped longsleeve from Target. Here Avery wore it with leggings, but you could definitely wear it with jeans as well.

One of my favorite things about this ivory sherpa vest is the zipper lining that caries up through the collar is a camel color! This makes it so perfect for wearing camel booties or even a leopard flat/mule. The colors accent each other well, but it's not too matchy-matchy. Ya know what I mean? Also, it pairs really great with this twisted hem waffle knit longsleeve. The black longsleeve is pretty light & thin so the warm & cozy sherpa is pretty much the perfect addition. It's $35 & also comes in black!

Yet another lovely sherpa vest! This one is somewhat similar to the grey WalMart one mentioned above. It's different in the fact that it has different colors of grey instead of just one, so it looks like it has different dimensions. I also absolutely love that the color is a soft white color! To me, that makes this vest look a little bit more casual. Super cozy & has great deep pockets. It comes in 10 different colors & is $32.

Sidenote: I actually used this vest in my halloween costume! Can you guess what I was? My favorite animal... a cat. :)

green...

I didn't realize until I was putting this post together how many green vests my mom & sisters & I have, so I thought it deserved it's on category lol.

I have worn this green vest too many times to admit on social media lol. I was on the hunt for an olive green puffer vest that would be thin enough that I wouldn't get too hot, but also that would be thick enough to keep me warm throughout the day. I found this one at Old Navy & it is absolutely perfect for what I was looking for! Here I paired it with a basic black + white striped longsleeve tee & my favorite pair of leggings. Before though, I had swapped the leggings for a pair of black pixie pants & was good to go for school. It also looks great with jeans & camel booties. This vest actually comes in 6 different colors & is less than $35.

Below are two more green vests. The first one is so similar to the puffer vest above so it pretty much looks great with the exact same things. Just depends on what type of vest you like! The geen camo vest looks great with a black longsleeve t-shirt underneath & either black or camel shoes.
