monday blues
if you’re looking for a chic way to wear a summer dress, just add a vest. blazers always perk up a simple sheath dress, but long vests are on-trend at the moment and see no sign of disappearing anytime soon. i’ve worn this vest with denim here, and the dress was first seen on the blog here. but this is the first time i’ve paired the two. this ootd is perfect for the office, client meetings or a charity lunch. the vest brings in an element of sophisticated fun, and my brain is already churning with ideas of how to wear it next. maybe when the temps cool down, i’ll pop it over a sweater. in the meantime. i’m greeting this summer morning in style.

The extra layer kicks the outfit up a notch. Love the dress on its own also. xoxo
The vest creates such a nice, slimming, long line. And I love the dress–that site has some gorgeous items.
I love the dress and the necklace compliments it beautifully as does the vest!
I love your outfit. The long vest is spectacular with that dress. I have a couple of long vests and I love them but have not worn them with a dress yet. I am off right now to find a dress that they will go with. 🙂 gwingal
