It's week three of the October Style Series with my fashionable friends at The Blended Blog, and this week we're sharing vests and jackets.
During fall and winter, I am always cold. 24/7, unless I'm working out, you'll find me shivering and cursing the weather. So a vest or jacket is a must with every outfit. Actually, my fall uniform is a sweater with a top layer, a scarf and boots. I pretty much am the October Style Series, every day.
My favorite new trend is the bomber jacket, which has been wonderfully recycled from the 80's. In high school I had a pink satin bomber that was my most treasured possession. My mom was more about function over style, so when I first pointed it out at the mall, her response was a solid no. But a few months later, I happily unwrapped it on my birthday. Wish I could find a picture.
That jacket is long gone, but this one in a geometric print from Tart is a good substitute. It's got a little stretch, and can be dressed up or down. I paired it with a turquoise stone statement necklace to add a little color, and my trusty sweater/boots combo.

Thank you Jill. I love the print!
DeleteI'm always cold this time of year, too! But I actually love the colder seasons. Being hot makes me grumpy. Haha. This is such a fun yet versatile bomber jacket to add to your collection of layers :)
ReplyDeleteI'm ok with heat - but being cold makes me grumpy!
Deletebahahahah, you are the October Style Series. Looking awesome, friend.
ReplyDeleteMerci!
DeleteI'm trying to remember if I ever had a bomber jacket back in my school days and I just can't remember. I did just order one and I can't wait for it to come in!! I love the print on this jacket! I am always cold, too!

The only time I'm not cold is when I'm exercising!
DeleteOh, I like the geometric print of your jacket! I haven't seen one like this and really like how unique it is. I enjoyed reading about your pink bomber jacket and how it arrived. I bet you were so happy to open that gift. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was such a memorable gift I still remember it. Thank you!
DeleteLOL, you are the October Style Series...so funny. Love the whole outfit, the jacket just makes this fun :)
ReplyDeleteThanks friend.
DeleteLOVE!! The pop of turquoise is soooo pretty! Lady, you da bomb!!!!! <3
ReplyDeleteAnd you are so sweet!
DeleteSome variation of the sweater/jeans/boots thing is my entire winter wardrobe! Although lately I'm more about leggings, but will they be warm enough?? Time will tell.
ReplyDeleteOh yah, I forgot about leggings. Those are in heavy rotation too. Have you tried the flannel lined ones? Totally warm.
DeleteLove that pattern!! And your black boots. I have to get back to wearing my black boots...I always lean toward wearing the cognac ones!!
ReplyDeleteI wear my brown ones more often too, but I thought the black was better with the jacket.
DeleteI am cold too so I love it in fall and winter when layers are fashionable! That jacket is darling!
ReplyDeleteThank you Laura!
DeleteSuper cute! I am always cold in Fall and love layering pieces!

Thank you Ruth!
DeleteI agree with you, Ms October, I like layers and sweaters too. It feels so odd when the weather warms up to not layer up. With the menopause I have to be careful of my layers but for the last 3 years I have at least been able to keep my neck enclosed!
ReplyDeleteI'm still waiting on the menopause - and then I'm sure some of the layers will come off!
DeleteI am a fan of bomber jackets too, your is fab https://lookingfabulousat50.blogspot.com.au
