Today's Everyday Fashion: Stole My Sleeves





Someone stole my sleeves! :-) I'm kidding, but I keep referring to this new "vest" as my blazer with no sleeves. I love the cargo pockets, and I honestly think that a blazer without sleeves is a genius way to look dressed up when you live in hot, steamy Florida. What are your thoughts on sleeveless blazers? Would you wear one?

Occasion: Work
Inspiration photo: Reader submitted
Vest: Banana Republic, $35 (purchased in the store last week - I tweeted about the 40% off sale the day I bought it! Follow me for up-to-the-minute updates: @jevrydayfashion)
Cami: Forever 21, $3

Belt: Banana Republic, $30
Brooch: Banana Republic, $20

ps. I'm the guest curator for 20 Best Twenty this month! They asked me to come up with a list of 20 things I can't live without in May, and my list includes some really inspiring websites and fun stuff so I thought I'd share! :-)

    I don't know if I've ever put much thought into sleeveless blazers, but I like what you've done with it here!

    I think it's cute, but you'd definitely get more use out of it in Florida than in Kansas!

    Are the shoes a recent purchase? I can't understand why brown sandles so hard to find in the summer....well, cute ones, anyway! ;) I love the ones you have on!

    Jan, I've had the sandals for about 3 years, but have you tried DSW? That's my go-to for great sandals for less!

    I actually did go to DSW last weekend. I *LOVE* DSW, and ended up w/ 2 pair, but no brown! Brown is so hard to find in a strappy heel (not wedges or flats) in the summer. Oh well, I love the ones you have on in todays post!

    Oh boo, sorry you weren't able to find what you were looking for. I'm all about the wedges this summer, so it's possible I was experiencing tunnel-vision, haha! :-)

    I love your vest/blazer without sleeves!! I've been wanting to get one, and was looking at a longer more cargo style, but I really like yours as it's more fitted :)

    Love the look, definitely a great way to stay looking professional in the hot weather. I've got a few cute sundresses that look fancy on the bottom but a little too casual on top, I think I could pull them off at work with something like this!

    Really love this! I love how dressy it can be with the belt and paired with your business wear.

    I'm not loving vests, although that's just personal preference since I remember the last time they were popular in the 90s. I find that office environments tend to be extremely chilly/variable in Florida, and I wear a sweater or jacket/blazer most of the time, so I'm never sleeveless unless I'm going outside.

    I love this vest. When I stopped by BR to return something today, I found this vest on sale for 29.99. I quickly purchased it, but I have a question. How does it fit in the back? I got the size 4 and it flares out on the side. I don't think it's very flattering. I am going to try the 6. While shopping, a women was wearing this vest with a white t-shirt and black skinny jeans. Very nice! Thanks for the inspiration:)

    @7f037759ac2bac7a589d29bcae8da504 Woo hoo, awesome deal you scored! I didn't have this flaring you are describing at all, but I only tried on one size so I'm not sure. I think I would try the 6 and see if it fits better!
