Moody Style: Vested

Do you guys ever find yourself searching high and low for a product that you become ridiculously obsessed? Well, I have to say that this scenario happens to me pretty often especially when it’s a hot new “IT” item that everyone’s grabbing.  How many stores do you search before you give up on that perfect piece of clothing?

I finally found this awesome utility vest at Old Navy a couple of months ago after walking out of several stores empty handed.  And just when I was about to give up, I found the last one in the area on a clearance rack.  I always feel so lucky when that happens.  Anyways, this vest is fantastic because the olive color is so neutral that it complients just about everything.  It is the perfect weight for the warm southern fall and it’s ideal for layering.  I decided to pair it with polka dots and stripes and I threw on some leopard heels for an extra pattern mix. Do any of you have this vest? What are some ways that you are styling it?
