Wearing Layers with Ageless Style

This month the Ageless style group is showcasing the different ways we wear layers.  I picked this theme since November in New England often has us bundling up on layers!    

But.. this year we have had a unseasonably warm introduction to November and I really struggled to pull together some layered looks.  

I finally settled on a pair of my favorite distressed jeans an old vest that I got through Stitch fix and while I typically pair vests with fitted shirts underneath I decided to try a more peasant style blouse I had gotten from Old Navy years ago.  






It was so comfortable for our morning hike!  Even if I did end up taking the vest off as it got warmer by mid-day.

    The blue vest and your cream colored blouse look really good together ;). Early November was so odd for us weather wise, too. It was unseasonably warm. Now it's unseasonably cold...

      Thank you! Our weather feels like it got real cold real fast but I do think it's our normal weather... just such a shock from what we were enjoying just last week.

    Love the quilted vest. I've had my vest for years and I am thinking I really need a new one. I'd love to replace with something that's warm though, would you say this one is?

      Not nearly as warm as my quilted one from the North Face. I think of this navy one as being a more medium to light weight.

    I'm not very good at wearing layers. I end up feeling too bulky.

      I can have that problem too; which is why I usually wear something fitted underneath. But it's too cold not to embrace layers up here from November through May.

    This is a pretty look! I haven't tried a vest with a peasant blouse but now I want to see what I can put together. I love layers!

      They really are and yet I rarely think to reach for them. I'm always grabbing a sweater or a cape.

    What a nice look! I like the peasant blouse with the vest.

    I absolutely love quilted vests, and I think this looks great with the peasant blouse! This fall has been strange weather-wise in Minnesota too - warm to snow seemingly overnight.

      That's what our weather has been like too! Though thankfully we haven't had any snow accumulation yet (the one night it started piling up the storm switched to rain by morning). I'm not ready for shoveling just yet.

    I always think vests are underrated. They really provide a great deal of warmth (because I'm always surprised when I take them off, and feel so cold) and they are fabulous for styling over anything...even jackets!!

      They really do keep me quite warm; and I wouldn't have thought that before I bought my first one just 2 short years ago.

    We have had such a warm fall here in Wisconsin too! I love vests! I wear them even in winter. I prefer them over wearing a winter coat if I'm just shopping and running from a warm car to a store.

      That is such a great idea! I hate taking on and pulling off my winter coat all winter long whenever I get in or get out of the car.

    Vests make such a great layer for fall and even mild winter days! Love this shade of blue! I didn't get to wear my vest yet this year. We too had some warm weather early on in November, then the temperature dropped suddenly overnight and now it's below freezing already with snow on the ground! But you've got me convinced that I WILL wear a vest on Monday when I finish my shopping for Thanksgiving!! It's going to warm up to mid 40s by then too :)

    I love your outfit. The colour of your vest looks great with the white shirt and jeans. I’m layering my outfits too at the moment and hoping to peel a few layers off during the day. But it’s been so cold I’ve actually been adding more layers on!

    Vests are such a good layering staple! Love it styled with the peasant blouse!

      Thanks! I am finding that I am getting lots of use out of my vests this fall.

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

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 mainly through

Things That Make Me Laugh

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 boys were youn

Dollar Store Candy Cane Wreath

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 white
