Hi, everyone! We hope that you all are enjoying the holidays. Our respective Christmas celebrations spent with our families were wonderful. It’s just amazing to think that Christmas is over and New Year’s is approaching!
Often, people avoid shopping after Christmas because they assume that the sales are over. Now is a actually great time to hunt for some new pieces to add to your wardrobe because some of the best sales are going on now.
As you may already know, long vests are on trend this season. They are a great addition to your wardrobe because they are incredibly versatile. They serve a purpose both for form and for function. By throwing on a long vest, it can make your look more styled…even if you simply threw on a top moments before heading out the door. They work really well on cool days when you don’t feel the need to lug a coat around. It is surprising how warm a vest can keep you if it is made from a heavier material. One additional reason that we both love a long vest is that it can help camouflage those pesky lumps and bumps around the tummy and hip area.
There are many ways to style these vests. You can wear it over a simple black dress or over a bohemian style maxi to add texture. Another option is to wrap a belt around the vest. This creates a nice slimming effect and works especially well for women with small waistlines that they wish to accentuate. Below are two photos showing how Tiffany and I each styled the same vest. She purchased it first and once I saw it on her I had to follow suit.
Tiffany chose to pair her long vest with a lace bohemian style tank. She wore her vest as a piece to help her transition her summer wardrobe into the fall.
I decided to create a monochromatic look by layering my charcoal vest over a lightweight gray sweater. (Please kindly ignore the super awkward placement of my arm.)
Here are some great vest options to check out…

Hope that you all have a great start to the week whether that means heading back to into work or continuing to enjoy some relaxing time off!
