Ageless Style: Falling for Vests



Welcome to our second last installment of Ageless Style for the 2025 year.  We gather here every third Thursday of the month and showcase our interpretation of whatever the prompt is.  We invite you to blog hop, comment, pin and of course join along with the prompt of link-up your own blog post so we can get to know you.  We hope this space if safe, encouraging and inclusive of whatever your stage of life is.  

Today's prompt was VESTS.  I've been all about vests this fall season see here and here, so when we first got this prompt I was unsure what I was going to share that I hadn't already done so.  way back in August when I was looking at predictions of fall/winter fashion trends, I knew that faux fur was going to be big again (it's always there because it's fun), but this year I decided I was going to hunt for a faux fur vest.  I used to have one way back in the day, see a throwback here, but it's been long gone from my closet.  I found this one second hand for $15 and thought why not!  

A few weeks ago we met up with some friends for coffee on a crisp Sunday morning and I decided to wear it styled with jeans, and then again with trousers for work.  I got SO many compliments on it.  Simply keeping all the other pieces very plain and simple, the vest became the main character and everyone was loving it.  So overall, I say it was a steal of a deal.  







What do you think?  

Are you going in on the faux fur look this year?


Next month our Ageless Style prompt is "the oldest thing in your closet"!

Ageless Style: Colors of Fall

 

It's the third Thursday of the month and that means a bonus post with the ladies of Ageless Style.  Today's prompt is brought to you by Jenn from My Joyful Life, and a fellow educator.  Since we already did 'back to school' outfits, she choose "Colors of Fall".  I am OBSESSED with brown and before buying these brown trousers, I had to think of all the pieces that were already in my closet or I was going to purchase, would be a good match.  But guess what?!?  BROWN  really is the new BLACK and these new pants were a great purchase from H&M, see my other recommendations for updating your fall closet here.  So many colors work well with it and I am only showcasing a few here today.  So let's jump right in.


Brown and Pink (because pink is my favorite).  Switch it out for blush or even amp it up with a fuchsia blazer.  I choose this tweed pink jacket with gold buttons, because it's a perfect weight for mild fall weather.



Brown and light blue.  I am still on the hunt for a cute blue cardigan but then I remembered this blazer and it's the perfect combo.


Brown & Lavender.  I think this combination is the one I least expected to work but I love how it came together. I love the idea of having this "spring-y" color all winter long.  


Monochromatic Browns.  Head to toe, shades of brown.  




Brown & Red.  Never be afraid to be bold in Red!!!!!!  Another purchase for fall from H&M, see link here.


That's a wrap.  What's your favorite look?  What should I pair with these trousers next?  
Make sure to link-up below, check out all the other blogs, and come back on Thursday, Oct. 16th for Mini, Midi or Maxi?!?

Falling for Polka Dots



Weather I want to admit it or not, falling is approaching and I am leaning into fall's autumn hues.  I am currently obsessed with all things and shades of brown. This year I decided to upgrade a few pieces in my closet, as noted by my previous post here, and one of the pieces I ended up picking up from Winners was this darling preplum, polka doted top.  If it wasn't cute enough all on it's own, they were ahead and added these adorable little bows.  OBSESSED!  I know that leopard and plaid are often the patterns of fall, but polka dots are a great twist to classic patterns and the perfect way to make them extra stylish is to buy the print in a trendy color, like this brown.  Since it was a Winners find, I am linking up a few different options for you below.  I decided to pair it with a pair of white crisp pants because it's the perfect summer to fall transition option, but it also looks great with jeans and loafers which I'll be wearing to work for casual Friday.  Happy Monday and thanks for stopping by.

Let It Snow, Let It Snow! & My Flare Jeans



On this particular day we  had planned to do our Christmas family photo because it was going to be mild and all of a sudden the snow just stared falling down.  It made our photos extra beautiful and I am thrilled with how they turned out.  Since the weather was so perfect and were were at a beautiful location already,  I decided that it was a perfect time to snap these photos for the blog.  This fall I decided to add these flare jeans to my small jean collection, and I couldn't be happier with them.  I've already gotten so much wear out of them and so many compliments on them, sorry they were a sale item that I randomly found, but I will link up a few other options below.  They are still high waisted (I never want that to go out of style), fitted through the hips, legs and then flare out.  I love the cute front pockets, just yesterday my tweens friends asked me why my jeans had back pockets in the front, LOL.  I am also super happy that I have my mom, who is a seamstress, was able to hem them for me.  At only 5'4", I often find it difficult to find pants that aren't too long, especially a flare cut like these.  As soon as you have to have them hemmed, you loose a lot of the flare affect, but I am really happy how these turned out. If you are hemming pants, I suggest picking out the type of footwear you are most likely going to wear the pants with and hem according to that.  I choose my low heeled booties because I love how they peak out the bottom, but the jeans also look great with my white sneakers as they have a good little platform on them. On this day, I dressed the jeans up slightly with a light knit sweater, that's structured and form fitting, has gold button detailing down the arm.  I love how this combination created a longer line for me, making me look slightly taller.  I also added a punch of color with my favorite red lipstick to stand out a little.   Over the past couple of months I've  paired the jeans up with oversized band tees and sneakers, oversized sweaters, and a blazer for casual Friday at work.    













My US friends I hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving with your families and friends.  

Thanks for stopping by my little blog.  I really value and appreciate you all.

Ageless Style: Layers for Fall & Link-Up

 


Welcome to the Ageless Style monthly link-up!  We always gather on the third Thursday of the month and this month Joanne from Slices of Life prompted us to think about essential fall layers.  As you can see, fall has left and winter has arrived in Saskatchewan.  Currently my main layers are my winter coat, toque and mitts, LOL.  Although I have some really nice wool coats and a warm parka, today I am focusing on layers that I use indoors during work hours.  I love me a good duster cardigan or a blazer, but I decided to go a completely different direction this year when I was choosing to invest my $. I decided on a  vegan leather shacket.   Right off the hop I wasn't drawn to black this season, but as soon as I saw this shacket in cognac I was in love.  The leather jacket is super soft, and is lined with a soft, almost fleece like material, on the inside.  It's an oversized fit, which I always have to get used to, and I find I like to wear with a more fitted bottom, skinny/straight leg jeans or a fitted dress, to create shape and dimension in my look.  For reference I am wearing a small and honestly if they had an XS I would have been tempted to try that on, but sometimes you just have to try a different style on a few times so you get comfortable seeing a new silhouette on yourself.  Overall  I love my newest fall purchase and am happy that I stepped out of my comfort box and bought something new and different.  


Since we are chatting about leather, I also want to draw your attention to the best backpack I've ever owned!  This is the prefect size for work and it comes back and forth with me 5 days a week.  It's in mint condition, a year after I purchased it, and it fits my laptop, journal, agenda, pens and a few other things.  I absolutely love that it's not too big and keeps me limited to carrying only the work essentials.  It's also awesome as a carry on when we travel.  

Your turn, what are your essential  layering pieces for fall or winter?
