What I Wore Shopping In Wheaton

A few weeks ago I spent a week with my children who live in Illinois.  Everyday we did something fun.  The weather was unseasonably warm, so I was able to get by most days with just a sweater.  This is an outfit I wore shopping in the quaint historic town of Wheaton.


 Of course, I had to stop in front of this store and do some fashion photos...for how often does one's outfit match the store?  This is the cutest shop too.  It is decorated to profession in the cutest Parisian style inside and out.


I meant to wear this outfit with only the vest on, but it ended up being much cooler than expected to I had to wear a cardigan over the top.  Not ideal, but when you're traveling and the weather changes, you have to work with what you have.  That is always why I dress in layers while traveling.  Cardigans and scarves are my lifesavers.


Everything I have on is old.  I've shown you this skirt before HERE and HERE, and the vest HERE.  For this look I wore my skirt with just a basic long tee from Target and I added the vest, tights, and boots for extra warmth.


My black cardigan is from Zara, and I also wore it on last Friday's fashion post where I was also shopping/traveling.  Cardigans, especially neutral ones, are so perfect for traveling because they go with so many different outfits plus they can easily be put on and removed.


I had to chuckle when I researched when I wore this skirt last because both other times I wore it I had the same boots on and I also wore the same necklace once.  


Have a Great Day!  Amy

  3. That's a great outfit! I love the skirt! I bought a similar one recently, but it's only black and white; I like the grey in yours!

    Sounds like you had a really nice time visiting your children!

    1. Thanks Andrea! I've had this skirt for a few years now. It's one of the few winter skirts I own that gets a lot of wear. Probably because it's knit and has an elastic waist so it's comfy and warm.

  7. Lovely, Amy. Love the skirt. And the vest. I'm fascinated with what you stylish American ladies do with what you call vests, we have several words for them other than vest. Spookily, I attempted to wear one recently and it didn't quite work out, so I've queued up a piece about it - what else could I do?!!
