(3.1 Phillip Lim vest, Club Monaco shorts – similar here and here, Joie booties)

I always find myself gravitating towards pieces with some sort of utility feel to them. Zippers, pockets, drawstrings, whatever, and I’m totally sold. And with this vest, I’m all about the whole double layer which pretty much calls for wearing it more ways than one, and I alternate between two. It definitely has that year-round potential. Wearable now and then also later paired up with some of my fall gear. And at the rate summer is flying by, that’ll be like tomorrow. But for now, sporting it with some silky shorts and my workhorse lace-up booties will do.
