The Convert

I've long resisted the siren song of the vest as a summer layering piece.  But, wouldn't you know it, I've become a convert, pairing my new vest with a midi dress:

I don't know why I was so resistant to the summer vest.  But, I know exactly why I converted: Devon Rachel.  If the summer vest is a cult, she is it's High Priestess. She wears the heck out of vests during the summer and has inspired me to do the same.  In fact, I first saw today's vest on her blog.

She wore it over a LBD, but I paired mine with a BGM (blue-gray midi) instead:

Dress: Gap  Vest & Sandals: Nordstrom

I don't often run out to buy something I see on another blog, in part because my pocket book wouldn't support it, but also because I know that just because I admire something does mean it will work for me.  But, this vest?  As soon as I saw the back I knew it would definitely work for me:

So flowy!  So dramatic!

And I kept the drama going by wearing all the jewelry I own.  Just kidding.  I only wore most of it:

What about you, Reader Friends?  Have you converted to the Cult of the Summer Vest?

Happy Friday, All!
