Utility vest remix

Utility vest, chambray, white shorts outfit, Free people "hybrid" booties

I've been reaching for vests more and more over the last couple of weeks. Especially this one! Usually, I'm all for my green military version, but I am loving this one because it's trench colored, yet obviously not a trench. Regardless, I love it, and I'm glad that I got it when I did. Vests are perfect for adding a little something to an otherwise basic outfit, like a chambray and white shorts!

The husband picked out these booties all on his own for my birthday! How amazing is that? What's even more amazing is that I have been swooning over them, but July and August were pretty expensive months for me in terms of shopping, so I was trying to ignore how much I loved them. The husband was shopping on Nordstrom's website for me, saw these, and said they looked like me! The only other person I told that I loved them was Jenna, who confirmed that she never forwarded that info onto the husband. He's just a shopping genius apparently!

I couldn't wait to wear them, so I decided to pair them with this super soft chambray and white shorts. I still felt like the outfit needed a little oomph, and I felt satisfied once I added the vest.

To prove that I've been vest-obsessed lately, here are the three latest looks side by side. I love how they're all different and the vest works equally across all looks. I have three utility vests now, and I'm pretty sure my wardrobe would not be complete without all of them!
