How do I style this vest!?

So....this is embarrassing to say.  I am a vest virgin.  I know.  I know.  They had a big moment in the early 2000's.  I didn't partake.  I just didn't have it in me.  I was still wearing baby tees and flared jeans.  I wasn't ready for the vest just yet.

Well, ladies and gentlemen, I did it.  I bought a vest and I have no regrets!!

This is the bad girl that I bought.

I bought it yesterday from Target.  It's glorious!

HOWEVER......

Being the girl who skipped this trend the first time round, I didn't know exactly how to style it.  So, Pinterest saved the day.
