Jean Jackets for Days

Hi Gorgeous!!! 

Are you dreaming of those summer days filled with dresses and sandals? Have no fear, you aren't alone. I love wearing dresses and skirts in the summer time weather, but when it gets this close to that time of year, I'm itching to hop into one of my dresses. Today the weather was nice enough that I wasn't chilly with a dress on. All thanks to my all time favorite accessory: the jean jacket! Ian loves when I wear dresses (who doesn't blame him) and so do I! Jean jackets make it easy to stay warm and look springy!

Jean Jackets: 
I don't know if it's just me, but I'm really particular about my jean jacket. It just can't be any jean jacket. Here are some of the ones I love.

Has anyone tried out the jean vest look? If so, comment below with how you wear yours! I think it's adorable but haven't gotten the courage to try it out. Look for my post tomorrow for what our weekend looks like, and shoes you can't live without!

XOXO-Mandie
