This Alice + Olivia – Keira Belted Serape Vest instantly caught my eye when I first saw it.  The colors are perfect for the season with the dark grey, red, black and cream stripes.  I also love that it’s serape inspired, which is traditionally a colorful shawl or wrap made of wool that is worn over the shoulders particularly in Latin America.  The fashion industry seems quite influenced by Latin culture as evidenced by the re-invention of the poncho, a trend I made mention of in my first post found here and I’m excited about the chic and stylish results of this influence.  I would absolutely love to rock this fashionable accessory around town but for now, I’m content with its place on my wardrobe wish list.
