Utility Vest

Photos by Sarah Klein
Vest: Velvet by Graham & Spencer (similar, only $35!!) // Dress: J.Crew Factory // Flats: Dee Keller // Necklace: Ily Couture // Sunglasses: Prada // Watch: Michele (non-diamond version) // Ring: David Yurman // Bangle: Alexis Bittar (similar)// Cuff: David Yurman  
This October in Texas has been a bit of a joke on the weather front. The nights get a tad cooler, enough for an extra layer, so this utility vest has been a great piece in my wardrobe. Maybe at some point the temps will cool down enough for long-sleeve jackets, like this military-esque twill jacket also by Velvet or my trusty Barbour Beadnell jacket. In the meantime, I’m happy with the ability to still wear skimmer flats and have my legs bare in dresses and skirts.
