I've been thinking about vests as a stand-in for blazers for spring layering(here). And the more I think on it the more I feel that vests may become my new blazer for this coming summer. Here's a look at my potential new "uniform" for summer office wear:
blouse-Jcrew(similar here), vest/trousers-Banana Republic, heels-Mikkat Market(more shoes here), bracelet-Cookie Lee
This definitely has a safari-chic feel, which may not be on trend for Summer '13, but is a look I think is fairly classic and always sleek. This "vest" is really more like a sleeve-less jacket with its belt loops and pockets. I'm thinking I may switch out the fabric tie for an actually belt. I'm also thinking I can swap out the trousers for this ivory skirt I picked up at Jcrew Factory:
In fact each element of the above outfit can be picked out and worn with other pieces for a variety of looks. Which, is why I think the safari-chic look is so classic because of the versatility.
