Let's talk vests. I know. Not our usual dresses, dots, and stripes. It's time to look at some transition pieces that add so much to your usual rotation. The vest is not a TGI Fridays vest, it's classy, chic, and unexpected.

Nordstrom Rack, Chaus Draped Crepe Vest, $99 $49

Simple. A great neutral to pair with leopard or navy.

Target, Sleeveless Scuba Blazer, $59 $29

Structured but the open front gives some playfulness to the look.

Saks Off Fifth, C&C California Draped Vest, $119 $49

I love the trench look here. I would switch out the belt to add some personality and pop.

Nordstrom, Leith Stretch Ponte Long Vest, $79

This is your goes with everything vest. Pair a long tassel necklace, jeans, belt it, it doesn't matter.

Don't write off the vest when you're itching to do some fall shopping. It's a versatile piece that will be a workhorse in your closet.

Look Mom, No Sleeves!

It is prime layering season because you can leave for work and it's 40 degrees but by the time you come home it's 65. It's annoying, but luckily one of this season's great trends is here for you. It's the sleeveless long vest. A great layering piece that works for outerwear or workwear depending on how you style it.

Shopbop, Re:Named Belted Trench Vest, $92

Where this as a trench, wear it as a vest with a turtleneck, heck wear it with tights as a dress!

Bloomingdale's, AQUA Long Vest, $98

A great take from menswear. Wear this open or belt it.

Nordstrom, Trouve Raw Edge Long Vest, $78

A double breasted style that is very corporate but a silky fabric that is very creative.

Macy's, Bar III Long Open Front Crepe Vest, $79

Simple, city chic. I love this for work or a night out.

Try this trend out for fall and I promise you will be layering heavier knits under it for winter. It's an easy addition to any outfit!

Vesting Ceremony

Let's talk fall outerwear. It can be difficult to judge whether to go with the trench, the denim jacket, or something entirely different: the vest. Today we're looking at the ultra-versatile puffer or quilted vest and it's a fantastic investment for fall.

JCrew Factory, Quilted Puffer Vest, $98

I really love this oatmeal color, it's a perfect base for a colorful cotton scarf.

Old Navy, Quilted Zip-front Vests, $34

The truly classic forest green. It's equestrian in color and style and so chic with flat brown boots.

Loft, Polka Dot Quilted Puffer Vest, $79

This pattern is adorable and a statement for outerwear.

LandsEnd, Women's Down Vest, $59

How great is this pattern with chambray? And you know LandsEnd is quality when it comes to outerwear.

Before you grab the cotton coat or the trench, give the vest a try. It's easily layered and easily packed for weekend trips.
