I was going through a box of whatnots today and found a fabulous green and black geometric scarf I picked up at a thrift shop forever ago. It’s PERFECT for this, like the print was designed with sleeve slits in mind! Awesome!!!

That is cuter than cute! Love the drape-y look of it as a vest – what a cool idea!
