My New Happy: Create28 With Carrie - Jackets and Vests

Create28 With Carrie - Jackets and Vests


Still following along in week three with Carrie for Create28.  Today it's all about jackets and vests.  

Next to sweaters, vests are my favorite clothing item.  They keep you warm and cozy in the winter, and are a perfect transition piece during fall and spring.  I tend to prefer something not too puffy, since I already have plenty of my own padding up top to work with!  Eddie Bauer is my favorite place to buy down vests, and most of their outerwear is on sale right now.



I have a large selection of lightweight, blazer type jackets that are also great transition pieces.  I've had my military jacket for so long, I can't remember where it came from.  I tried this one on at Old Navy last weekend and really liked the fabric and the fit.  The drawstrings at the waist and hem gave it a nice touch.



Be sure to come back on Friday when the Style Me Bloggers will be linking up and sharing our hair, makeup and outfit picks for the Oscars. I've actually seen two nominated movies this year - American Sniper (sad, but well done) and The Grand Budapest Hotel (excellent) - so maybe I'll actually watch the show instead of the red carpet!

  3. If you get a chance to watch Boyhood I thought it was very good. I also watched Grand Budapest Hotel and American Sniper and thought they were good too.

    You look great in vests. I always like them better on other people than myself.

  5. Liking both these looks, friend. The vest is my favorite because the pop of color is really good on you + the jeans are perfect for the look. Hope you're having a fantastic week.
