The Elizabeth and James vest that Lauren is wearing here is one half of probably the best purchase I made last year: one jacket that can be worn three ways! When worn with both pieces together it's a fun twist on your typical blazer, with drapey leather accents elongating the silhouette. Separate the two and you're left with a sharp-cut, cropped blazer perfect for throwing on over a dress, or a rock-and-roll leather vest that screams "wear me with skinny jeans!" Clearly Lauren opted for the latter.

This weekend was a full one as Lauren's sister and her boyfriend flew in from LA for a visit, so this look was perfect for showing them a night out. And it wouldn't be a Brooklyn visit without a late-night dance party at The Woods!
