FAVORITE FALL PIECE// THE SWEATER VEST
The Sweater Vest
Happy Monday, everyone! How was your weekend? Did you all do anything for Halloween? My youngest daughter-in-law’s mom was born on Halloween, so we got together for a little birthday celebration. She is one of my favorite people, and I am so lucky that both of my daughters-in-law’s have amazing moms that have made our family so much better! Other than that, we had a low key weekend (again!). Do you know what I am loving for fall this year? The sweater vest has made a comeback, and I am into it!
There is something a little nostalgic about a sweater vest for me. It reminds me of my grandfather and the first couple of years of college. I remember my sweet grandaddy wearing camel or argyle sweater vests and me wearing them with bow neckties in college (Fairisle for sure!). In fact, I love the way they add another element to a simple outfit. I ordered the one I am wearing back in late September, and darn it if it isn’t sold out. But I did find some other great ones that will give you the same look below. I ordered this one yesterday, and I can’t wait to get it!
Worn over a simple button-down, turtleneck, or long sleeve tee with jeans is how I like to wear them.
But they do look sophisticated paired with a flowy pant. I think they add a modern feel to a cropped jean or a slightly ripped pair (why I don’t wear ripped jeans at the knee here). Sweater vests are super fun and a great way to update without spending a lot of money.
The patchwork bag I am carrying is vintage, and I am obsessed with it. I bought it a few months ago and was shocked at what great condition it is in. The entire bag is cowhide, and the colors are such fun! I love looking at What Goes Around Comes Around and The Real Real for special bags. Here is a great looking patchwork bag that is new.
I have a friend coming in town today that I am having dinner with tonight to celebrate that after tomorrow, we don’t have to see any more political commercials! Whatever the outcome of this election, I hope that there will be peace and that we can all be kind and loving to each other. I’m ready for this to be over. Anyone else feel me?
Have a wonderful day, and be well! xx

I’m ready to not see anymore political ads. I think most people feel the same way. I really don’t care who wins anymore as long as it’s over. My oldest daughter is a Halloween baby, she just turned 41. But I still remember her birth. We didn’t get together for her birthday. She has five kids and is always busy with them. Actually, she has six, but my oldest granddaughter lives in another state. She’s coming to visit us in a few weeks. It’s going to be fun. I can’t wait, I haven’t seen her for about a year.

There is a large black banner that shows up on your website on my iPhone. It hides the top of your page. Is this a problem on your end or my phone? I believe this has happened to me before and your web person took care of it.
