Styling Outerwear with Ageless Style

It's the third Thursday of the month and time for another ageless style challenge. This month Amy picked Outerwear. Living in New England I have lots and lots of choices for outerwear. I have a lot of winter coats with full bins of hats, mittens, ear muffs, head wraps, scarves and more. 

Most of my coats have shown up on the blog at least once or twice. The ones I reach for most often are my blue fur lined hood puffer coat from LL Bean.

This black and gray plaid that I received in one of my first ever Stitch Fix boxes.


 This maroon pea coat I got in another early Stitch Fix box.


My fur trimmed poncho is what I typically reach for when getting dressed up in winter.  

I also have a plain gray wool coat. 

And a black pea coat too.

    I like pea coats! I have a few. I thought that I only had a couple of coats until I realized I have a storage spot for the ones that I don't wear as often. All of your coats are pretty and look warm :).

      Thank you. Warm is definitely key up here. I mean I'm not great about actually wearing them on a day to day basis but when I break down and actually wear one it needs to be warm.

      Thank you! I was surprised by how warm that one felt since it's a lighter weight material than most of my others.

    My favorite of these is the gray wool coat. It would have to be longer for me, but this is just my style.

      I did notice that I don't have any long coats anymore! I need to remedy that.

      Yes! It is perfect for when I want to feel a bit dressier.

    Oh, you have such a nice collection of pea/wool coats. I think your climate is better suited for them than mine.

      I do have some puffer coats with fur trimmed hoods for when it's real cold.

    I just usually wear regular jackets - a fleece or my winter coat! I did just order a quarter zip from the North Face though!

      I tend to not wear coats much at all and just rely on my car heating to keep me warm but when I need a coat I like to have lots of options to pick from.

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 ...

Talking About it Tuesday #107

Image
Oh wow; what a weird, weird week it's been! Last Tuesday I headed off to Yoga class but less than 1/4 of the way through the class I was hit with what I was so sure was a stomach bug (cold sweat, dizziness, stomach pain, etc) so I left, went home, and rested.... and 4 hours later everything passed and I felt fine. Ate lunch, dinner, etc. Weird but glad to be feeling better I shrugged it off-- still have no clue what that was but I've felt fine ever since.    Then on Wednesday we noticed our thermostat turned red which means there's a problem with our heating system. Luckily my husband is one of those guys with skills and got it working again (since it was only 5 when we woke up the next morning!). The heat had stopped working again at some point in the night but the house was still 60 and he worked to get it going again and ordered the parts we need to fix it for good. Another oddity but not unheard of. I shrugged that off too.   Then Thursday morning I'm sitting in the...

Share Our Lives: How I Stay Connected with My Spouse

Image
This month for Share Our lives we're talking about staying connected. I decided to focus on how my husband and I have stayed connected all these years. We began dating at 16 which means we've been together more than 30 years!   From the time my boys were very young I was very aware of the fact that my marriage was meant to be my lifelong relationship and while I'd obviously have a relationship with my boys for their whole lives as well (I hoped!) I knew it was my job to raise them to leave. The whole point of parenthood is to send our kids out into the world so while I wanted a strong relationship with all 4 of my guys I never lost sight of the fact that for me, my most important relationship was that with my husband.    Basically, it all boils down to I've never stopped dating my husband.     a date night outfit   We made sure to schedule date nights as often as we could. Something that is so easy now that used to take weeks of planning (and hopi...

Movies I've Enjoyed These Last 2 Years

Image
I often watch movies but rarely think to share about whether I enjoyed them or not! I thought this was the year to start sharing more about what I've watched. So I'm starting with a large round up of movies I've really enjoyed watching these past 2 years. Not all of them were made during the last 2 years but that is when I "discovered" them.  I would happily re-watch any of these and, to me, that is a sure sign I enjoyed the movie!  I Like Me (2025)-- I LOVED John Candy movies growing up and this documentary about him and his life was so darn sweet.  Jerry & Marge Go Large (2022) -- I love a good based on a true story movie and this one about a man who cracked a mathematical loophole in the lottery. Then him and his wife revive their small Michigan town driving back and forth to Massachusetts to buy their tickets and create a whole company pooling investments from townsfolk that they pour back into the town.   Happy Gilmore 2 (2025)-- While not the most int...
