Every so often in my shopping endeavors, I come across a holy grail item – that one piece that goes with anything, can be dressed up or down, and doesn’t leave my wallet (or boyfriend) angry with my financial decisions. Case in point, this H&M vest. The extra design details like the hood, pockets, and long silhouette made this piece something I needed to have. While a normal day finds me styling it with jeans and a tee, it adds cool dimension to dresses, shorts, and skirts as well. With this look, I opted for the former by pairing it with distressed boyfriend jeans and a linen tank. I chose to play up the gray tone of the vest with a nude bag and shoes. While black would have been an obvious accent choice, pairing nude and gray is a cooler alternative, especially during the summer months. I topped everything off with a few of my go-to delicate jewels. Going with gold was a simple way to add warmth to the look and play off the gold details on the bag. It would have been way too easy to go crazy with accessorizing this outfit, but you always need to remember to have an editing eye while looking in the mirror. For me, less is always more. Especially when it comes to accessorizing an H&M holy grail.
