This Navy vest is super cute and keeping me warm during chilly January days. I had no idea J.Crew makes an almost identical version! I borrowed J.Crew styling and paired it with a jean jacket.

• I love both these Tights. The Free Press are holding up better than the Merona's. Thanks Fran for recommending fleece lined tights. They're amazing!
• The abound Grunge Sweater is so warm and fuzzy. If you get cold at your office (like me) you need this!
• My mom surprised me (hard to do) with the Gingham quilted vest from J.Crew Factory. I think this vest is even cuter in person. I LOVE IT! I'm typically a Large, but the Medium fits much better.
• Surprisingly I don't like the Herringbone vest as much as I thought I would. I thought it would be thicker, and a different material.

Happy New Year!

Before anyone starts to congratulate me on my reasonable shopping this month, let me tell you that I've used about 110% of my will power to NOT shop and the reason is that I'm trying to save money to buy a newer car! Yay budgeting! Black Friday was such a tease I hope you guys got some good deals!
