There's nothing I love more when I'm tan than wearing all white. There's something so summery, but still so polished about it. Whether hitting the beach in a white bikini, or running errands in a simple white tee and jeans, when worn head-to-toe the color guarantees that you'll look so fresh and so clean. Just don't spill anything on yourself...

So when I stumbled upon this embroidered waistcoat, of course the first thing that came to my mind was to layer it over an all-white look. Add a little silver jewelry to make the beading pop, plus strappy sandals and beachy waves to lend the look a slight Grecian vibe. Or dress the look down and replace the skirt with a pair of cutoff shorts. You pretty much can't go wrong! 

As someone who loves layering up during winter and is always looking for ways to add intrigue to my summer looks, this vest has been the perfect addition to my closet. You can bet I'll be tossing it over just about everything this season for some added dimension and a dose of chic embellishment.
