UTILITY VEST

Even though I'm sad to see summer go, I can't pretend to be too upset. Because aside from pumpkin spice lattes, the holiest grail of Starbucks drinks*, autumn also means time for #AllTheVestsAndBoots !

Utility (cargo) vests are my favorite vests to wear year-round. They are edgy, yet practical and versatile. I've worn mine with jeans, thrown it over sweaters, and layered it over dresses. And even though olive green is my go-to color, I'm also crushing on a couple of khaki and camo ones. I've linked a few of my favorites below. *Confession: I've never actually had a pumpkin spice latte. Do I still qualify as a blogger?! ;)

Navy Ankle Boots.

Last week's ankle boot shopping spree turned out to be much more of a spree than I had originally intended. (Sorry, honey!)

I ended up purchasing a couple of additional shoes, including this navy version of the cognac pair of boots that I ordered. And call me crazy, but I love the navy pair so much that I'm not even sure if I will keep the cognac pair. The navy ones are seriously gorgeous and on sale for even cheaper than the price that I bought them at! So, if you're looking for a comfortable, beautiful pair of navy ankle boots, these babies are calling your name.
