I tend to be very expressive with my clothes during the day. If I’m feeling relaxed, I tend to wear my cardigans floating around me unbuttoned. If I am intent at work, I tend to wrap them tight around me. This vest is uses my quirkiness to its advantage. No matter how you wear it, wrapped tight and pinned at the bust, open and floating around you, or draped over your shoulders and pinned at the waist it will always look great.
