It’s kind of {really} hard to beat temperatures above 50* a mere 5 night sleeps before Christmas, but to no complaining from me that is exactly what we got lucky enough to experience yesterday. While it still felt cool and was a bit breezy, there was no need to be out & about with an actual jacket. PRAISE JESUS! I know I’m not the only one who hates walking into a store and either sweating with their coat on or instead lugging it around in your arms as you juggle your purse and the 7 unnecessary items you picked up in the home decor section of Target. I tend to grab this puffer vest when I go sans-jacket but not even needing that much warmth, I went for this herringbone option that pretty much every girl ever has instead. Last year I was lucky enough to find the vest, in my size, in my local J. Crew store but since they’re sold out again I found you some identical options here, here,here, & here. Plus all of those options are cheap so that’s kind of awesome!

Since I was reluctantly running some last-minute errands before we leave for Texas, I knew that comfort was key in my outfit if I was going to be dealing with hundreds of other procrastinators around town. Building the look around my vest, I added a striped turtleneck underneath along with a pair of basic skinnys and black ankle boots. Theseturtlenecks are some of my favorites {along with this one, which is necessity in every girl’s closet} because they’re so versatile; wear them under a sweater or flannel for an extra layer or tuck them into a pencil skirt for a classic work look. I’m also quite obsessed with thesejeans because of the mid-rise. They’re perfect for those holiday dinners where you want to keep everything *in* while keeping you looking slim. 🙂
