Fall Vests with Ageless Style

It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month Jodie picked styling vests. I do enjoy a good vest out but I only own 2 vests so my style choices don't change much. I decided to do a round up post of the various ways I've styled my favorite vest in the past. 


My favorite vest is a quilted navy blue vest I got in one of the first Stitch Fix boxes I ever received. I love all shades of blue so this was a great addition to my closet. I typically pair the vest with a blouse or sweater, a pair of jeans, and some booties. 








 

To me this is a very classic "fall in New England" type of outfit.

    I only have a couple of vests, too, and I do find myself reaching for my more neutral one fairly often. Your outfits are styled really nicely- that blue is a great color and goes well with jeans and khakis.

    Looks great! I don't think I have any vests but they really make an outfit look put together.

      Thanks! I've been on the look for one more vest in another neutral color.

    Vests are just great! I had a bunch and donated most of them. Now, I regret it. I still have a black one very much like this one of yours. And, of course, I have my new leopard one! I think they are a great jacket alternative for running errands or for someone who runs hot.

      I have only ever owned this one and one other fleece lined one though I don't like the fleece lined one nearly as much since it looks really bulky.

    Gosh I love a good vest- my newest addition is a kelly green one- I feel it will be great for the holidays with festive sweaters and tops underneath

      I definitely prefer it to a coat and have worn some thin sweaters underneath mine too.

    I own a burgundy quilted winter vest similar to yours and I think I reach for that more than my winter coat. It is better for running around in winter weather when you're just jumping from your car to a store than a full winter coat. I use to have them in all different colors: white, blue, etc., but I narrowed it down to just burgundy and a thin black one.

      It definitely is; though I rarely wear a coat for winter errands (just keep it in the car in case of an emergency) but I hate carrying it around the store and I always get too hot to keep it on. I'd like to get a thin black one; I think I would get a lot of use out of that.

    This is a great vest for everyday wear and so cozy without the bulk. I can see why you wear it so much.

      Thank you! I would never have thought to buy one or even try it on if it hadn't come in a Stitch Fix box. But I'm so glad I kept it!

    I really like this quilted vest: some warmth without adding bulk and it is a great universal color: navy! I have a cropped puffer vest that I enjoy when it is cold and another one with a fur hood (that one I wear less). I did get rid of a few, but still enjoy the variety that I have.

    I like vests but I never wear them! I can never get the weather right for them to work.

      I mostly wear them in fall when most people wear light jackets as I rarely think to grab a jacket.

    You look so good in blue, Joanne! What a gorgeous vest! I love the look of those vests, but I just don't like them on me. I think it's because the collar always sticks up too far. I also get too cold in them so I might as well wear a coat.

    I have one vest but it's more of a gilet. I never wear it anymore, though I still like it... Maybe I should try it again.

    The blue is perfect (I love blue, too).
    My mother would have loved your vest, we were always on the lookout for a nice one for her.

15 Family Restaurant Games

Image
When my boys were little and we'd take them out to eat I kept a small bag of toys in the car to grab on our way into any restaurant.  That way they would be entertained and a bit quieter while we enjoyed our meal. Now that the boys are older we don't keep a bag of toys handy but we do have few games we use to keep the boys occupied if they start getting bored or squirmy while we're waiting for our food or our check. While there are many phone apps, portable gaming systems and electronic games that could occupy my kids we prefer to use the time together at restaurants to connect with one another and so we tend to play games like: Hangman--   any restaurant that has paper place mats works well for this.  We take turns picking  a word and drawing our hangman stand then take turns calling out letters and seeing if we can solve the puzzle.   Tic Tac Toe-- This works best with pen on paper place mats but we have played making a grid with butter knives ...

Favorite TV Shows Growing Up in the 80's and early 90's

Image
Do you remember the TGIF lineups on Friday nights? I can remember planning sleepovers and time with friends around TV Show lineups of our favorite shows... or else trying to set the VCR to record our favorite shows if we weren't going to be home. And through the years I had SO MANY favorites! Growing pains aired in 1985 which put me around age 8 and it stayed on the air until I was 15 or so; I'm pretty sure most people in my age group watched mostly for Kirk Cameron and all his antics.  I still have a soft spot for family sit-coms!  The Facts of Life aired when I was just 2  and stayed on the air until I was 11 so I'm sure the episodes I remember so fondly were either some of the later ones and then reruns shown later on when I was old enough to watch from the beginning. I think everyone would have loved an Edna Garret in their lives.   Benson another sitcom that began airing when I was just 2 and was done by the time I was 9 (another one I must have watched mai...

Things That Make Me Laugh

Image
I loved the challenge of this week's list for our 26 lists link up.  I don't know about you but I really need to laugh more lately.  It's such a great stress reliever. 1.  Books-- I love a good funny book that makes me laugh out loud.  I haven't read one in a while but if you have any recommendations I'm all ears.  The last book I can remember making me laugh was the Un-Honeymooners. 2  The boys being silly. 3.  Watching shows like America's Funniest Videos or Family Feud. 4. My husband.  Most people don't realize it but he's actually pretty funny and often makes me laugh. 5.  Whenever my sisters/ family get together and we get to reminiscing (particularly if my Aunt Elaine is around) we end up laughing so hard at all the old family stories that we are all in tears by the end of the night.  It's fabulous. 6. Movies like Mom's Night Out, Christmas Vacation, and Grown Ups make me laugh out loud. 7.  When my ...

10 Most Popular Posts of All Time

Image
Each year near the end of December/ beginning of January I share the top 10 posts of the year but this year, in particular, I have noticed some much older posts that are still bringing in lots of pageviews and thought it would be fun to look back and see a top 10 list of all time.  I started my blog in June of 2012 and while so many of my first posts were long blocky, chunky rambles without any real photos of us and our family I just can't bring myself to delete any of them as I really do enjoy looking back and seeing how my blog has change and grown over time. Not surprisingly all my top 10 posts are from more recent years.  I love to look at what is popular and try to figure out WHY each post is so popular. Most of the time I can't but I love to speculate anyway.  10. Our 2022 Disney/Universal Trip Day 1 & 2 has almost 2000 views. Who doesn't love Disney and the Magic Kingdom? 😊 9. My Would You rather; Fall Edition had well over 3,000 pageview. I do, however, thi...

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

Image
Today I am linking up with some fellow bloggers for a Dollar Store craft challenge.  I don't often participate in these challenges since I try to stay away from our local Dollar Stores; I find they can be quite dangerous for me!  I knew this was the perfect time to find some inexpensive holiday decorations though and I just LOVE how my wreath turned out!  I hope you stop by and see what the other hosts are sharing. Meet this month's co-hosts! Across the Blvd | Purple Hues & Me This Autoimmune Life | Our Unschooling Journey Domestic Deadline | Sew Crafty Crochet Stone Cottage Adventures | Sum of Their Stories | Two Chicks & a Mom I bought the candy cane wreath base and a few rolls of mesh (not knowing how many I'd need I bought waaay to many; I only ended up using one white roll and one red roll. Using some chenille stems I already had on hand I attached the mesh to the wreath base trying to alternate the whit...
