This one is distressed and pricey, but you get the idea.<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/vince-classic-vest/3667024?origin=PredictiveSearch-personalizedsort&#038;contextualcategoryid=2381291&#038;fashionColor=DESTRUCTED+BLEACH&#038;resultback=326&#038;cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-searchresults-_-1_3_C" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/vi.....ts-_-1_3_C</a><br /> A white leather or faux leather version is another idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1205133 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 23:27:44 +0000 Sarah A 1205133@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did try on a white vest I like at Target not long ago as well... Cant remember the brand Mossimo maybe? It is shown in their print ads in the US magazines, about $24 I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1205131 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 23:26:41 +0000 Sarah A 1205131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the KC asymmetrical one. I could totally see you in that </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1205069 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 22:07:33 +0000 Kim 1205069@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon I saw a vest a lot like this last night at Target (Canada) &nbsp;Do you have one near you? &nbsp;It was white, lined and the armholes where cut down almost to the waist. &nbsp;Hard to describe that but it looked nice. &nbsp; The price? 28 bucks! &nbsp;Might be worth a look for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204932 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 19:41:05 +0000 catgirl 1204932@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I did and I love it for you. Am trying to decide if it will work for me. I was looking for a menswear vibe rather than a moto look but maybe that's just not 2014.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204931 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 19:39:47 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1204931@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kkards - thanks for the vote of confidence. I'm thinking a vest would give me the structure I crave.</p> <p>Rae - that EF vest is gorgeous but a little more "soft" than what I'm looking for. Needing a bit more structure.</p> <p>Una - did you check out the second two I linked to above? I've already decided the Calvin Klein vest isn't for me and my petite apple body. But I'm crushing on the Kenneth Cole asymmetrical one.</p> <p>Karie - isn't that VC version beautiful? I could totally see you in that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204923 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 19:27:09 +0000 Karie 1204923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well now, don't I just love these! And I was just pondering over what I like and don't like about my summer style, and I decided I quite like some sort of topper on me. And I'll be going to Nordie's in about two weeks...I think Mr. Vince Camuto&nbsp;is calling my name...</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204821 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 17:26:30 +0000 catgirl 1204821@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is really similar to the black vest Angie felt was not modern enough for me, but I need to inquire more about what to look for that is more modern. I can totally see this working for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204806 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 17:18:20 +0000 rae 1204806@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have my petite customer in this one with the matching crop top and we both really loved it.

If it were super hot out, I would want the ventilation that comes with it being undone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204659 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 14:46:08 +0000 Angie 1204659@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ah. I didn't see the second batch.

The Calvin Klein is not...possibly a problem with white.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204630 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 14:05:06 +0000 Suz 1204630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that's possible about the armholes, Shannon -- might be an issue for me as well. Calvin Klein dresses don't give me a very good fit. But I thought I would try it on anyhow.&nbsp;</p> <p>BR had a really nice linen one last year that Tanya got. I was considering it but ended up leaving it due to my sense that I wouldn't wear it enough (non office job). But this one was less expensive and maybe a little sturdier looking so I thought I'd at least try it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Can't wait to hear if it works out for you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204629 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:58:01 +0000 Elizabeth P 1204629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love this Shannon, might even try it myself :).&nbsp; I used to have a white linen vest that I loved for the summer, unfortunately it yellowed over time.&nbsp; I probably should have tried bleaching it, but I think I tossed it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204624 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:52:58 +0000 Anonymous 1204624@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204620 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:50:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1204620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously Suz???? How fab. I hope it works out for you. I'm a little concerned because not being a petite size, the underarm holes are usually much too deep for me. If I get to The Bay and they have it, I'll report back to you on fit.</p> <p>Sounds like you all think this has potential </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204614 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:43:33 +0000 Suz 1204614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh! Shannon, I just ordered this from Nordstrom's! (I am going to the US in two weeks.) I, too, worry about the lining, but I'm going to give it a try on at least. We might be vest twins.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204610 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:37:57 +0000 Anonymous 1204610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love that vest Shannon! I can totally see you in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204608 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:32:52 +0000 Neel 1204608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay from me! Something like Una's would be fun too. Fingers crossed you find the perfect white vest </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204606 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:31:12 +0000 El Cee 1204606@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like Glory, I am having trouble with the link (goes to home page)… but I think I was able to figure out which vest is the one you are looking at. Like it!&nbsp;Personally, I love the idea of using a vest (esp. a white one) as a "third piece" in summer to add structure and interest to an outfit. I think you are right that it must be a certain weight so as not to be too hot. </p> <p>Just saw your revised link -- Yep… that vest is great!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204601 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:27:31 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1204601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glory - have redone the link. Can you try again and see if it works? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204597 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:26:10 +0000 Glory 1204597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds promising and I agree that a bit of structure works wonderfully. The link does not work for me. Can you repost the link or maybe the photo?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-vest-for-springsummer#post-1204592 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:20:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1204592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have really figured out in the last two weeks that I enjoy an outfit with some fluidity on either the top or bottom as long as there is sufficient structure paired with it - for example my EF draped front dress with a structured blazer or a pencil skirt with a fluid pullover.</p> <p>This is a combination that can get a little trickier when we get into the heat of summer but I'm thinking a vest could provide the same structure as a blazer but without the full coverage.</p> <p>I found this gorgeous white Calvin Klein vest at The Bay and am wondering what you think about something along this line? I'd want something with a bit of length to it (not cropped) to have a more modern silhouette and I like the idea of white to brighten things up. I'm not saying this one in particular would fit (I suspect it would be too long on me, although I'd have to try it on to be sure). This one could also be too hot with the lining. Maybe something in linen if possible?</p> <p>Anyway my question is about the idea of a crisp white vest - what do you think?</p> </p> <p>ETA: I've added a pic and removed the link as it wasn't working. </p>
