Hello 78!
The Designers Downtown Market
It’s November and it was about 78 degrees yesterday in Raleigh.
And as much as I am glad it isn’t snowing yet, I thought summer was over.
Isn’t it just wrong to have your windows open when your Christmas tree is up? Wait. Did I mention that I decorated for Christmas yet? No? Well, there was my confession. I feel better that it’s out there.
Okay: back to the outfit. . .
I picked up this lovely wheat-y vest from Old Navy the other day. It’s sweater material, but not too bulky!
Jeans: Target, Flare Premium Denim, Fall 2011
Top: TJMaxx, Tresics $5.00!!
Vest: Old Navy, Winter 2011
Necklace: J. Crew outlet, Summer 2010
Earrings: Elisabeth Ashlie
Shoes: Steve Madden, old. Maybe 2007?
A vest can really change an outfit. If you are looking to spice up your wardrobe a bit, try searching for a vest in a different color or pattern than you typically buy. Then pair it with some basics and you have an updated look!

Like it!
am dying to decorate as well, can’t wait for our tree to arrive!
I love that vest! It looks super comfy and the color is great! 🙂
I have to say I’m jealous of your weather – it’s about 48 here in Boston! I have totally decorated for Christmas already and have the tunes blasting. Love that vest!
I would love to be feeling 78 degrees! Where I currently reside, its 29 with seventy mph wind! Cold! Cute outfit!
Kate you are such a doll! I love vests so need to hit Old Navy!
wow, I would take 78, I live in Canada, and it is 9 right now, and the ground is white, with more snow today, and more snow tomorrow. Great vest, looks great with your outfit!
Do you know if I can get Aquage in Canada, I am very curious to try it, after seeing all of your hair tutorials
We’re having super mild weather in Omaha as well. It scares me a bit for what is to come :). I also love the vest, I have been wearing a lot of them lately too!
Cute vest! I know what you mean though, this weather is crazy! I’m in GA, and it was about 73 here yesterday…as a matter of fact, it said it was 75 in my house. In Nov?? Yeah, I find it quite ridiculous too! This year’s weather has been quite a roller coaster ride though.
OK I officially need that vest in my life!
Love the vest and your hair looks awesome!
You are so cute! I love ALL the info you give on your blog! What type/brand of jeans are those from Target? They are super cute!
I love the basics! you look adorable and now i dont feel so bad that im annoying my family with wanting to decorate for the holidays;)
This is really cute. I love your monochromatic color schemes that you seem to wear quite a bit. Very sophisticated:)

love this!! you’re right… a vest can add so much to an outfit!
Hi, Kate! I’m a huge fan of your blog and read it everyday during my lunch break. As I was checking it out tonight, my husband recognized your husband. Apparently, they played music together at Covenant! Anyway, keep up the good work…love the blog!
You blogging ladies sure waste no time with your decor! Wish I could find time to put up my tree 🙂
Love that vest. I’m not normally a fan of vests but for some reason this year I’m really loving them!
I love your hair and the way you style your hair, it always looks Fabulous! I wish you could do my hair but I am way up in Boston ):
I will keep on trying to do the best I can from watching your videos and checking on your blog.
Thanks for all your great ideas and style.
Your friend,
Kristin
Came across your posts on Pinterest and can’t get enough of your different hair styles. Worried about burning my hair when I curl it… so I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m eager to once I get over that fear! Love your new vest/ cardi from Old Navy! Keep posting – Love to hear what you’ve got going on next!
I love that you’ve decorated for Christmas! You’re my hero!

Long time reader, first time commenter. I love your blog and I think it’s great you are already decorated for Christmas. My plan is to do mine this week so I have one less thing to worry about and can enjoy the holidays! I would love to see some of your decorations!
PS Totally love this outfit!
hi kate! i’ve been following your blog for a couple months now and LOVE it! thanks for all the tips 🙂 also, my hubs and i went to NC State and lived in raleigh for awhile (therefore i feel a small connection to you :). but i was wondering, what type of jeans are those from target? we have the same figure, they look great on you and i would really love to get some jeans from target but i feel like they are such a pain to find the right pair. sorry if it’s being a little personal to ask, but is there a name or style type for those jeans? thanks so much!!
Yes, It has been in the 70’s here- Birmingham- and I am dressing for November and riding around in boots and sweater with the A/C on! For real! I went to a luncheon this week- and there were tornado watches/warnings out- in November? So I did put a sort sleeve T under the new sweater I had bought- would normally do a turtle neck under it. But I have to have some seasonal change in the wardrobe too!!! Always enjoy your blogs!

Same thing here, I’m in VA and it’s warm, low 60’s but calling for a chance of snow tonight, what?! Crazy weather! Love the outfit! I stumbled across your blog over the weekend when searching for a new hairstyle and have to say I’ve become a fan! It’s even got me thinking about starting my own. And your kitties are soooooo cute, and their names are adorable!
