Hi and happy Fashion Friday!
It's been a cold, hectic week in the mountains. I have several exciting blog projects coming up, but that has meant a lot of work time at the computer this week. Not complaining though! I appreciate the work. For this weekend, I'm hoping to make it to Charlotte at some point to see my Brother's new puppy. I can't wait. They also have this crazy good acai food truck that I'm looking forward to trying. I've loved acai ever since my trip to Brazil. Puppies and acai are totally worth a drive in my opinion!
So let's talk fashion! Last week my outfit was very neutral, but this week I thought I'd bring out some winter color.
I got my navy Lilly Pulitzer vest for Christmas! Oh how I love it. Thanks to my Mother-in-law I'm rocking this adorable look... well... ALL the time. I'm like a little girl who just got a new princess dress... I don't want to take it off 🙂
I love the gold details on this vest and the quilting that tucks close to your body. It has a nice extra winter layer, without adding bulk.
The lining of the vest provides the perfect pop of color that matches my scarf that I picked up earlier this year. You could tie it in many ways, but I like this long, simple tie with the vest.
I finished the look with a warm but lightweight cashmere v-neck sweater, dark jeans and riding boots.
We have a JCrew distribution center in Asheville and I've found the BEST cashmere there over the years.
Shop the look!

Shelley says
You always look polished and ready to take on the world Julie! I know that little puppy is going to steal your heart. We don't get much of a chance at the Forever Farm to play with puppies and kittens. As you well know, our crew are all senior and special needs. I had almost forgotten the joy of a younger critter myself until we recently brought home a 3 year old long haired Chihuahua that is only 2.3 pounds! You can't even imagine how tiny she is until you see her for yourself. She has so much happy energy. Something our home needed after losing three of our own in a matter of months. Our last remaining dog has terminal pancreatic cancer and we really needed a little squirt to bring us some joy again. Received a call that this one needed help and she is way too small and young to take up to the Forever Farm, so we have been blessed!
JulieWunder says
That so exciting! I'm so happy for you!!! Everyone needs a little puppy love every once in a while 🙂
Susie @ SuzLyfe says
Love the spring/winter mash up! We need all the color we can get.
I need some puppy pictures, too!
JulieWunder says
Monday!!! Puppies coming soon!
Blane Sherer says
I say mix it up : some days more neutrals and some days more color.
Everyday is not the same and you just feel differently some days than others.
I hope you enjoy the puppy and the acai this weekend.
JulieWunder says
I totally agree! Thanks for the opinion!
