I used to really hate puffer vests.

Freshman year of college, I would have gagged at the thought.
So ubiquitous, so unflattering - really just an overall outfit-ruiner.

And you guys know how I always reference the transforming power of certain pieces as "insta-cool"? Well, 5 years ago, I would have claimed the very opposite of these babies.

But after trying on the above pictured ugly-on-the-hanger puffer (in blue floral, what's more), I confess, I'm a convert.

I threw it on over an evening dress, and was blown away by just how well it ruined the potentially sophisticated aesthethic.
If you know me at all, you'll know that such an ability is .... irresistible.

Above, please find an embarrassingly scatterbrained piece of mind-vomit, brought to you by the addled brain of yours truly.
Do you guys have puffer vesteroonies? (Ralph Lauren seems to have quite the motherlode). If so, link to your pics, because I want some styling ideas!
Cheers.
I love the Ralph Lauren ones, and that sick Marni one. I'm on the hunt for something of the cheaper variety, though, and I kinda want to see how big the sizes go in that RL girls one - I love the little frill at the bottom ;) Thanks for sharing this cornucopia of puff!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat! In college I never would have worn one of these because they are so covered and boxy but now I love them! (maybe its because I've started embracing man repelling bc I already have the husband and baby haha)

Ooo I never thought I'd say this but I am kinda liking some of these puffer vests, especially the red plaid RL one!
