I always love a topper piece for any time of year. It’s harder in the summers because of the heat, but I think this vest is one of those perfect items. I also have some tops instead of vests like this that are sleeveless so I will wear them over a lightweight shirt for some more coverage!!
Have a wonderful weekend, Susan!

I love prints, but only the ones with a modern edge like this one. I like that it has black and white with blue, and that you chose black and white to complete the outfit.
Longer, lightweight pieces like this vest can elevate a simple outfit to the next level. How fun!
A nice look! The shape is fairly close to the body, but hides what some women want hidden. I’d say it is a problem solver!
I love that anyone wearing this vest is not “hiding,” instead they are signaling that they are willing to be noticed and admired. Someone fully participating and ready to make new friends. Just lovely! Great question, Ellen!
I love the colors in that vest!
I just want to say how much I love your style and suggestions. I’m going to be retiring in two years. We plan on buying a small motor home, travel and enjoy our life. I feel confident that I can have a wardrobe that will fit the motor home and the variety places we will be visiting thanks to all your advice. Unfortunately I will be getting both of my knees replaced during the next 2 years before I retire. Please give plenty of non healed shoes for days when you really want to dress up. This seems to be difficult for me. I miss my heals, but the reality is they are gone for me. Again, thanks for all your great advice.

This is an awesome look. I’m wondering if it would be too many pieces on a 4’11” frame (weight 108)….Maybe a black top underneath? Appropriate for a 45th high school reunion?
I failed to show it, but this vest is easy to tie up in the front, so that is less voluminous. If I were 4’11” tall, I would wear all black and tie the front ends to show most of the length of my legs.
Thanks for discussing how to adapt for a petite frame.
Thank you so much for your great advice. I always look forward to reading daily. I absolutely love the vest in this one. I plan to order today. Thanks again for showing me how I can look great at almost 74.
I think the belt is important, even if it’s wrapped around a waist that isn’t there. It’s OK to skip it if you don’t have the layer over it, but with the over layer the hint of waist, or at least middle part of torso, adds definition.
Otherwise one runs the risk of looking like they’ve pulled an oversized pillow case over themselves.
Love the vest!
Wow, I really like how all the pieces look together. However, in the north that is too many layers and fabric. Too hot to wear here right now. Any other suggestions with 2 light weight pieces only?
A loose fitting linen or cotton dress seems to be the most cooling clothing option I have found.
Maybe try a camisole or tank with an unbuttoned boyfriend type shirt. Roll up sleeves to just below elbows and some lightweight capri pants. It’s a look I wore a lot this summer (in New Zealand) and boy was it a hot summer! All the shops and online ran out of fans – we were all cooking 🙂
