How I am Styling a Vest this Summer

August is the best time of year to visit Seattle, I always say, because we have the best chance of sunshine and high temperatures but we don't have oppressive humidity. Many festivals, concerts, and weddings also occur during the month of August for this very reason--there is always something fun going on. My outfits during these hot summer weeks are usually some combination of cotton and linen pieces like the look I am sharing today. This linen blend vest is a fabulous neutral piece that I added to my closet about a year ago and packed for our trip to Egypt and Morocco. When I visited these predominantly Muslim countries, I layered a tee underneath this vest to ensure my shoulders were covered out of respect. However, when here at home I think this vest also looks fabulous styled alone as a top with a pair of high waist shorts and wedge sandals. In this particular outfit, I added a cashmere sweater over my shoulders for date night with my hubby along with my YSL Medium Envelope bag and a few favorite accessories. Please continue on to see more photos, outfit links, and more of my picks for vests that I think would look amazing styled now and straight into the fall season.

  9. I love the high-waist shorts and wedges combo for that effortless chic vibe, and the cashmere sweater over the shoulders for date night? Total elegance. Definitely giving me outfit inspo for my own summer pieces.
