Ok, so I’ll be the first to admit, I am completely smitten with monkeys and monkey patters. I always appreciate a chance to dress up my little monkeys like, well, a monkey! However, you can’t always bring your wings with you and that is exactly what I love about this pattern. For the times you just need something simple, just don’t bring the wings and you have a spiffy vest that is sure to still turn heads (but not create stares and commotion!). If you, like me, insist on a touch of whimsy to your day, don’t forget to bring along the hat as well, it’s super fun and cute to boot!

Set includes: Vest, hat, and wings!
