You know those pieces that everyone and their mother seems to own? I’m talking about pieces like the J.Crew Quilted Vest, Hunter Boots, Ray-Ban Aviators, and Blanket Scarves. What do these items all have in common? They’re versatile, stylish and classic. It’s no wonder that so many of us gravitate towards them.
Another ones of those pieces that so many people seem to own is a cargo vest. I picked mine up at Old Navy about a year ago, and it seems like so many other bloggers have the same one. Great minds think alike, right?
I’ve worn this vest more times than I can count and have featured it on the blog a number of times. I’ve paired the vest with dresses, jeans, and skirts, but the possibilities are endless.
