Not My Grandfather's Vest

Did anyone notice on Instagram, vests took center stage this fall as a fashion statement?  My vest version, I consider a remix, and it’s not my grandfather’s vest.

J. Crew Cashmere Sleeveless Turtleneck Tunic

Vests, the agreed-upon theme for the last fashion challenge post for 2021 with the Magnificent Eight blogger group. Me, I conjured childhood visions of my paternal grandfather. Affectionately called “Russ,” smoking his pipe, wearing a buttoned-up sweater vest while puffing and talking to my Dad, Genie Boy

Over 60 Style, Black White and Pop of Red

Did I get the style challenge wrong?  Did I not misunderstand the assignment?

What do I like about blogger-style linkups? It’s subject to your interpretation and what works for your brand.

I’m not wearing a vest, but I say it’s a reasonable dupe. It serves the practical purpose of a vest to keep you warm and keep your arms free.

An updated vest, a sleeveless tunic indeed, not my grandfather's vest
I shopped my closet for ASOS cotton black shirtdress. What’s new, J. Crew The Good Cashmere Standard sleeveless tunic. Not new accessories: Fashionphile Preloved 2016 Gucci Guccissima Bow Chain Wallet in black, ASOS Design Chunky Frame 70s Sunglasses, and J. Crew Faux Snake Skin Tall Boots.

I’m sticking with adopting a sustainable lifestyle, as I chose this Good Cashmere Standard® sleeveless tunic because of its responsible sourcing.  And the natural cashmere fabric.
