his month, I want to concentrate on one trend and look at the many ways you can make it work for you. I think the most important piece to have this spring is a puffer vest. A sleeveless denim vest and a crochet vest with fringe are both great pieces, too, but we’ll stick to the versatility of the puffer for now. Whichever style you choose, just be sure to add a vest to your wardrobe. It’s the most essential piece to be on trend. You should be able to find spring vests now in solids, seersucker, stripes and checks — and in lots of colors. Even if you decide on just one vest, there are so many ways to make it look different each time you put it on. For a casual, simple look, wear your vest with a simple white T-shirt. This combination will work with jeans, colored skinnies, a maxi skirt or a short skirt. Play with colors in your jewelry, and wear booties, heels or sandals. My favorite look is a vest paired with a patterned shirt. Try a striped shirt, a plaid one, some polka dots or even a Lilly Pulitzer or other printed design under your favorite vest. Even if you’ve chosen a striped vest, don’t be afraid to wear it with a shirt that isn’t solid. Mixing prints is trending, and you can find lots of examples on Pinterest if you’re not sure what combinations work best. On those spring days when the weather takes a dip, just add another layer under your vest. Wear a checked shirt with a solid

cotton sweater, then add your vest on top. As the weather warms, just take away layers. Add a scarf for another pop of color and layer of warmth, if needed. And of course, we’re in the South, so by all means, add a monogram! The puffer vest looks awesome with a monogram, and you can opt for a fun thread color or keep it neutral. The only downside of going with a specific color of thread is that it may limit your choices of layering pieces. For even more ideas for this essential fashion piece, check out my Pinterest board “How to Wear a Vest — Spring 2015” (https://www.pinterest.com/ walker_boutique/how-to-wear-a-vestspring-2015/). These photos should give you plenty of inspiration until the weather makes a vest simply out of the question. Hold on to your vest, though — I think you’ll need it again, and there will be lots of new ways to make it work for you into the fall and winter.
