Denim Vest

Took these photos after a lunch trip to Philippe's French Dip in downtown L.A. If you've never been, you are missing out. It's one of the city's oldest restaurants, and is definitely one my favorite Los Angeles institutions.

This denim vest is the ideal layering piece for the ridiculously hot temperatures in L.A. (despite the fact that it's officially fall). I spent all summer layering it over breezy dresses and tops--I love the tough, tomboy vibe it lends to an otherwise girly outfit. When the temperatures finally do drop, I plan to pair it with long-sleeved tees and boots.
