Christopher Banks says Vests are IN

Tonight, , I received an email from Christopher Banks clothing. They say vests with round necked long sleeved tee shirts is in. That is kind of preppy isn't it?

In fact, I saw a vest that looked like a navy pea coat without the sleeves. You could wear it with a skinny belt around the waist. I have my daughter's pea coat that she hardly ever wore. It fits me, so I am going to make an attempt to take the sleeves off of it, take under the edges probably by hand with a hem stitch and give it a try. It's free right? A hand-me down from my daughter. Cool!
