Utility Vest and Stripes

Utility vests have been a mainstay in style for awhile now, but I just jumped on the that particular train this fall. I have no idea why it took me so long because I’m in love. I’m obviously a big vest fan, so a utility vest is an easy add to my wardrobe.

We have had some crazy winter storms around here lately, which left a ton of snow and ice everywhere. Then it warmed up to the upper 30s and now it is a sloppy mess. So I’ve been wearing my Bean Boots on repeat. I feel like Bean Boots and a utility vest are a perfect combination. Both are a little outdoors-y and have the same vibe. To dress it up a bit to make it work-appropriate (yes, I totally wear my bean boots to work!) I added a pretty knit fringe scarf. And of course, the perfect base is a easy striped swing dress. I could live in these dresses. I have enough of them that people probably wouldn’t even notice *monkey covering eyes emoji*

    That dress works awesomely for layering! I love the stripes–it’s nice when the winter isn’t too cold so you can get away with wearing dresses with leggings.

    I love my utility vest! I have yet to pair it with any dresses, but I do have a striped one similar to yours that would be cute.
