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.

    You have a fabulous coat collection! My fave is the robe coat.

      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.

    The fur trim cape is really fun! I love peacoat style coats and usually have one in my closet: I did thrift a red and an olive one this year. My mom has a couple too, one that I had bought for myself on Ebay but ended up being too small for me. It perfect for her.

  11. Christie-So what? Now what?February 19, 2026 at 2:51 PM

    You have so many cute coats, Joanne...and, of course, the poncho. I have a closet full of coats that rarely get worn now that we spend most of our time in Southern Utah. I need to pick a couple of favorites and then donate the rest. That's my decluttering goal for our next trip up north. Thanks for the inspiration.

    You have so many nice options. The shorter plaid one is lovely and I would wear that lots for errands.

    I usually wear one of two winter coats. One is for when it's really cold, and the other for 'regular' weather.

    So many great options. I know I would love your fur trimmed cape!! I have begun buying more outwear - not sure why!! We have such mild-ish winters and I tend to run from the car to the store or school or church without thinking to put on a coat. But then again, I am often cold with AC in the middle of July, so usually have a jacket or cardigan with me in the summer. Ha!!

      I rarely wear a coat either but I always have one in the car with me just in case.

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...

TV Shows I LOVE

Image
I have wanted to make a series about shows we're enjoying on TV for several years now but I am so inconsistent with it! I published two posts in 2019 about my favorite shows to binge/rewatch and my favorite shows to watch that season.  Then I remembered to write another post in spring  2024 about favorite shows and movies I had been watching  and once again forgot to ever write another one.  I have well over a year of TV shows we've "discovered" to share. The good news is it will definitely only list those shows I absolutely LOVED. Now these aren't necessarily new shows but they were new to me.    In no particular order those shows include: Landman- - set in Texas this show is a wild ride of oil billionaires, roughnecks, and relationships. I love the cast, the sarcasm, and am here for all the craziness.  Nobody Wants This--  An adorable love story between an agnostic that runs a sex podcast with her sister and the sweetest single rabbi...

What's Up Wednesday: February 2026

Image
It's the last Wednesday of the month and time to link up with Shay and Sheaffer for What's Up Wednesday. I won't have as many photos as usual since they're on my laptop and that is home in CT... I only have the last few days on my phone.   What We're Eating:  Evan and I flew to North Carolina for a long weekend and got stuck here since a blizzard hit the east coast and airports shut down (last I heard Providence RI [where we fly into] got 37.5 inches!). We're Eating things like: Crepes from Our Crepes and More.  Mine was a tiramisu crepe. Then for dinner my mom had homemade meatballs and sauce with spaghetti, garlic bread, and salad.  Breakfast has consisted of yogurt parfait bowls (sorry some photos are sidways and upside I don't have my laptop with me and Blogger is a bit limited on the phone app) or eggs with sourdough toast.  We had a huge family cookout with chicken, burgers, roasted potatoes, veggies, and salad with...

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...
