button-up: old navy, gaucho shorts: f21/diy, sweater vest: vintage, boots: seychelles
this is absolutely my favorite sweater vest ever. and it's actually a hand me down from my mom back in her college days.. crazy that she kept it for so long eh? i'm guilty of holding on to things for awhile too.. as well as giving things away right before they come full circle back into style. anyways back to the vest.. i just adore the colors in it.. it's reminds me of lifesavers candy.. but in a more fall-ish color scheme.. oh and i just wanted to wish everyone a happy thanksgiving!! don't think i'll have time to update til after the holiday.. much cooking to do.. i'll be hosting dinner for 7 tomorrow night and i have to start making the desserts tonight.. then theres' much shopping.. and sewing to do as well over the long weekend!
