i’ve been wanting an olive vests for months now and thanks to Audrey’s post,  I researched and found one that had enough feminity to make it into my closet.  This one is by Vera Wang for Kohls…

I chose to pair it today with purple as that is one of my favorite colors with olive.

 I took these pictures at 6:30 since my mail comes late and i couldn’t wait to style it and the lighting is not what i am use to… I know now not to stand here…. There was a nice breeze today!  

The vest ties at the waist, but for today I chose to wear it open and pull the ties to the back. 

I’ve been waiting a long time and my head is full of ways to style this so instead of my Lucky Find’s for the next few Friday’s i will post looks with my newly coveted item...

Dear Readers, I am really loving vests for summer and so glad I prepared early and thrifted a few.  When it comes to certain pieces that are very on trend and current that I see as a very versatile piece it is well worth buying retail… I hope to show how versatile this piece is in the coming weeks and hope you’ll join me in that journey.  Even if an olive vest is not soemthing you have or want, maybe you can see some ways to mix colors or perhaps you have an olive jacket that could be subsituted. 

Gratitude

I am grateful for the wild rabbits that grace me with their presence outside my kitchen window or in the front yard.  I’ve lived her for 11 years now and my delight each time has never wained.. 

I am grateful for a fun evening with my two youngest eating at Chik Fil A and then seeing Monster’s Umiversity followed by a late night run to Walmart.

I am grateful that I will soon have the funds for the much needed cooling/heating system tomorrow!  Thanks to my husband’s hard work.
