I have been welcoming the warm weather with this Old Navy cropped denim vest by wearing it with everything from high waisted skirts (like this one) to denim shorts or cropped pants and over tons of easy, breezy summer dresses.  Basic and effortless items like this denim vest are the building blocks to creating your chic summer wardrobe.  

We are starting to plan our summer vacations and with that, my summer wardrobe essentials.  My summers are usually full of backyard BBQ’s, picnics in the park, riding my parents horses, lounging by the pool, warm summer night parties and (hopefully) lots of breezy days on the beach.  I can definitely see myself wearing this cropped vest to every one of those occasions (and more).  Next on my list is finding the perfect pair of summer sandals.
