If you’re looking to add one item to your fall wardrobe, may we suggest a vest? Last fall we were introduced to the virtues of the vest by our designer friend Gabrielle Carlson.

Look how beautiful this one is, designed by Gab.  Our Gab vest is a light black crepe (with pockets) and can be worn when we’re dressed up in lieu of a jacket, or worn with a pair of jeans.  You can wear your vest with or with sleeves under it, and it’s a wonderful stylish, slimming, and elongating look.

Here are a few others we love.
