J.Crew seems to always been having a sale, am I right? (And thank goodness because otherwise I probably wouldn’t shop with them!) This excursion quilted vest, however, never seems to be included! I had been wanting it so long, I finally gave in and indulged. It’s a classic piece that will withstand fads and trends, so I can’t really say it’s a bad investment. I broke it out over the weekend, and pairing it with gingham plaid for it’s debut just seemed like the right thing to do. Puffer vests and plaid were made for each other, no?

This gingham button down has been a classic piece in my wardrobe for over a year. It’s been perfect for mixing with leopard print, pairing with bright capris, and pattern mixing with stripes!
Now I’d love to see how you’re remixing your wardrobe!

I love gingham and I really like it paired with that white vest. The leopard flats are a nice touch! ~Cynthia
Silly me … I always just wear gingham in the summer but look how perfect it looks in the fall! Thanks for the inspiration, dear! I love your wearable looks!

I love how you styled the quilted vest with gingham! Yes, I think they were made for each other 🙂

It is so versatile, love this shirt
I think that vest is a great buy–it looks so cozy and warm without being bulky, plus it will go with everything. I love how you styled it here!
J.Crew put a striped one on sale recently and I decided that was the best it was going to get for me. I love the solids though. The cream is going to be a great piece. I love it!
Gingham is indeed an all-season mixer!!! Check out my feature/review on the brand new active/yoga wear of BODEN – there’s a 15% off promo too thru Nov. 15 too!!!

I have the same gingham top and love it. Damn J Crew and not putting that herringbone vest on sale – they know there’s such a demand for it. A few weeks ago, Groopdealz had a pretty good dupe for $30 that I picked up, hopefully it will be decent quality.

P.S. Hope to see you Thursday for TBT Fashion link up.
You can never go wrong with a nice checkered button-up!
You have the cutest style! I want that vest so badly! I’m still holding out for a sale! haha
That shirt is really pretty shirt! I love how you styled it in different ways. I agree with you on the sales. Jcrew is pricey, but the sales are a really good excuse to shop.

I own a similar shirt and even a white puffer vest. Thanks for all the inspiration. You styled this beautifully, Lauren.
You look GORGEOUS girl! Love the vest + gingham look!
I agree, sales are the only way I can shop certain stores! And that vest was definitely worth the splurge. 😀
Love the outfit, you look fantastic – great for Fall.
My J.Crew Vests have been some of my best investments!
Your gingham shirt makes me miss mine! I gave it away to goodwill 🙁
Love the shirt. On trend and perfect for fall!

I love my gingham button down and how versatile it is. Thanks for even more wonderful inspiration on how to style it!
That outfit is so cute! Love the vest with it!
A lot of times they will have the vest on a small sale in the store. But either way, its a great vest that you will wear for YEARS!
