I’ve been feeling a bit uninspired lately with my Summer wardrobe. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been enjoying the more minimalist approach with shorts, tees, and dainty jewelry, but I was looking for a way to add a little something extra. Enter my trust cargo vest. I tend to forget about it, but it always helps me feel a bit more put together. It’s such a great completer piece!
Tank: Everlane, Vest: Old Navy (similar), Shorts: Paige Denim, Shoes: identical, Necklace: Kendra Scott, Earrings: Kendra Scott, Bracelet: Stella & Dot, Bag: Gigi New York
You’ve seen me style this piece countless times. Be sure to check out my other cargo vest posts for some additional inspiration!

I LOVE this look! I have been looking for a vest like that for awhile now. I wish Old Navy still carried them. Love your necklace too!
Okay don’t let this come across as creepy, but you seriously have the best legs!!! 🙂

I think you’ve done the minimalist look perfectly here. The military vest with those shorts and the necklace is so perfect. And the clutch is super cute too!

This is a cute look! Jean shorts and a t-shirt are my island uniform, so I completely understand the need to mix things up!
Hah! We talked about the same thing in today’s posts and both added something over our shorts + tank combo. How amusing 🙂
The vest is such a great finishing touch! 🙂
This outfit is so effortless! I never wear my cargo vest with shorts, but I will have to copy this outfit asap. =)

I get what you mean, but like the vest jacket. It will be prefect for those cold evenings and also get for fall.

I have almost exactly the same cargo waistcoat, only mine is from H&M. Thanks for the tip on pairing it with shorts — I’ll use it as a layering piece one it’s shorts weather again. I hope that the summer isn’t over here in Oslo yet, but it’s really cold out there today… 😉 As always, thanks for hosting the linkup!

Vests have been my way to add interest (complete) an outfit without adding tons of uncomfortable and hot layers. This weather is the pits!
This is a cute way to style your cargo vest for summer!

You look gorgeous! I adore this look!
You’re right, the cargo vest is such a great completer piece any time of year. This is reminding me that I need to pull mine out, I haven’t worn it in a while!
Love how the vest can change the entire outfit!

I am jealous of your tan!
Loveee the cargo vest! I know what you mean about getting in a summer style rut with the shorts & tees – I also always go with the addition of a vest to change it up! Lately I’ve been pairing a denim vest with a lot of my looks!
