I snagged this vest on sale, but I still paid almost $100 for it. I know. The thing is, I have a feeling this is going to be the new “IT” vest of the season. J. Crew’s excursion vests are pretty popular, and in years past I waited for a good sale on the houndstooth version and they sold out. So this year I splurged. But in my defense, it’s gingham and adorable. And I’m already thinking up multiple ways to wear it so I make sure I get my money’s worth. I definitely see some pattern mixing in its future. It’ll also look cute with a dress or button-up shirt. When it gets colder, I’ll probably layer another jacket with it. Man, now I’m thinking I got a great deal on this vest. My arguments are pretty convincing. (I knew law school would come in handy one of these days.)
