Stripes and a Cozy Vest - What I Wore Wednesday

       I recently purchased this Patagonia Los Gatos vest. I have had my eye on it for the past two winters and finally found a reason to purchase it! One of the days that we are in New Zealand, we will be on a glacier. Amongst several other items, the itinerary recommends layering with a polyester vest….BAM! My sunglasses are Ray-Ban Aviators New Classic 59mm with a mirror blue lens. 

       The jeans are the PAIGE Verdugo. I am constantly carrying on about how much I adore PAIGE Denim. I love their jeans because they hold their shape really well and I do not find myself pulling them up constantly. The wash on this pair is very flattering and the distressed look adds a little edginess to the preppier top half of the outfit.

       My booties are the same mentioned in this post – purchased during Nordstrom’s N Sale in July. They are a tan suede and slip on and off without a zipper. I’ve worn them with shorts, leggings, and jeans. They’re super comfy and can be dressed up or down.
       As always, I’m wearing my Michael Kors watch, mentioned in this post. For this look, I kept it simple by adding a Lokai bracelet and the David Yurman X Station to the stack.

When I make decisions on purchasing rather expensive clothing items (anything over $100,) I take several things into consideration. (That blog post is currently in the works.) Purchasing this vest was an easy “yes,” in my book. Patagonia is known for the quality of its materials, I will definitely get my money’s worth as this vest is super versatile, can be worn during several seasons and will help me stay warm on that glacier! Also, I have waited to see if something else would catch my eye, but I keep coming back to it. SOLD!

The striped 3/4 length shirt is from J.Crew; it's super soft and great for layering! I bought it over the summer and have worn it at least once a week since the beginning of fall.

Heather Gray, Booties, and Tortoise Shell

This is the perfect outfit to head out and run errands in. I am a firm believer in layers, especially since I'm always cold. The Lucky Brand booties were purchased during the N Sale and similar ones can be found HERE and HERE. I can wear them all day and my feet do not get sore. Paige is by far my favorite brand when it comes to denim. It holds up in the wash, fits me well, which isn't easy to find. I am 5'4" which puts me right between petite and regular sizes, so this brand has been my go-to since college. This pair of jeans can be found HERE. Unfortunately, since my sweater was purchased at Marshall's, there's no link to it. I mentioned that there was a snag (an easy fix on knits) and I was discounted 15%. *Small victory for me! On the bright side, I found some great and super cute alternatives to complete this outfit. Those can be found HERE, HERE and HERE. I layered the sweater with a Cynthia Rowley tank top. These are super comfy, light, and great for all seasons. Whenever I find them (normally at TJMaxx,) I make sure to pick up a couple. Target sells similar ones HERE in the same price point and they last just as long. 

My watch is Michael Kors (an oldie but a goodie whose updated twin is HERE) and my favorite miniature stack of bracelets can be purchased HERE. I have added more of these to my holiday wishlist. They are great because I can wear them in the shower, to bed, and even to the barn without worrying about them breaking or tarnishing. Desires by Mikolay was introduced to me in 2009 and I try to stop by their store whenever I am in the area. What's even better is that you can shop online now and the code HOLIDAY will get you 10% off your entire purchase. Oliver Peoples has become a popular eyewear designer. I currently have THIS pair and THIS one. They are only slightly different (both tortoise shell frames) but I love them! 

What are some of your favorite denim and eyewear brands?
