Back-to-School with Kohl's: The Sweater Vest

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kohl’s. All opinions are 100% mine.

Pair a sweater vest with a basic top, skinny jeans and ankle boots for a cool back-to-school outfit from Kohl's.


With the first day of Fall just around the corner, I knew I wanted to style a look featuring something cozy and warm for my second back-to-school outfit with Kohl's. This season I'm seeing sweater vests everywhere, and I was beyond excited to find the trend going strong at my Kohl's store -- I immediately tried on this Mudd Colorblock Long Vest and fell in love. It's so soft and feels like you're wrapping yourself up in a blanket! But, it's actually a lot easier to wear than say, a poncho or blanket scarf. Don't get me wrong, I love a good ruana or oversized scarf, but sometimes I feel like I can't move around when I'm wearing one. With this vest, my arms are free, yet I still get the drama of a bold layering piece. It's the best of both worlds!
