Quest for the Vest

If you follow me on Pinterest, 

then you know I have been repinning a certain vest like crazy. 

This one. 

Since coming across this beauty, 

I have begun to notice the wide array of use it has in one's Fall/Winter wardrobe. 

And I'm incredibly envious.

...with flannel layering...

...adding some extra to a basic outfit...

...and with boots in the winter snow...

Now, I checked JCrew's website, 

hoping and praying I hadn't missed my chance to purchase this wardrobe gem...

But alas...

it has sold out, 

and I'm guessing that my local (30 minutes away) JCrew 

will not have it in stock either. 

To this I say:

Challenge. Accepted. 

I will find this vest. 

Even if it is in 10 years at some high-end thrift store, 

I will make it mind. 

It's a classic cut, 

timeless print, 

and let's face it...

I'm never going to live in Hawaii. 

There will always be a place for this vest. 

However, 

if ever a reader should come across this 

and wish to bestow their findings, 

and be generous in that knowledge...

PLEASE let me know. 

Because I need it. 

XOXO
