Vest weather is the best weather, and in Vermont there was no shortage of perfect flannel-and-vest days. It honestly was the best fall weather you could ask for!
SHOP MY LOOK HERE:
Penfield: Lucan Fleece Vest / LL Bean: Scotch Plaid Flannel Shirt c/o / AG: The Legging Ankle Jeans / LL Bean: Duck Boots / Ray-Ban: Wayfarer Sunglasses
I just recently got my hands on this fleece vest from Penfield before the trip and I love it. I really love it. It kind of reminds me of this Patagonia one I always wanted in college but it was only made in boy sizes (booooo). I love the contrast of the colors and lining on this vest and I've already found about 50 ways to style it so I'm really excited for cooler days when I can wear this more often!
I also broke out the flannel for the first time this season and I'm PUMPED. I love my flannel shirts and it's no lie when I say LL Bean has the BEST flannel. Not only do they come in a ton of colors but they are so dang comfortable you never want to take them off. I've just about worn my red one down from the last few seasons so I thought it was time to change it up with this black watch plaid shirt!

Fleece Vest + Flannel Weather
Talk about a fun day (and weekend) in Vermont! Who knew going back to school would be so much fun :)

If you guys remember I had a brief experience with it last year during a press trip with Barbour. After that, I was all but hooked on clay shooting and I wanted to get better. You can even read in this blog post about how the shooting school was No. 1 on my Christmas list!
Orivs has schools all over the country, but their two big ones are in Sandanona, NY and Manchester, VT. Since I had never been to Vermont and we could make a quick weekend out of it, we decided on the Manchester school in late September. It was the very best decision and I LOVED it up there. Andrew and I are going to try and go back every fall to visit. The drive wasn't too bad either -- about 3-4 hours from NYC!
Anyways -- the school! We arrived around 9am and departed around 4pm. They fitted you for guns, they taught you about gun safety, proper shooting and stance. Then we shot clays all day with different angles and targets. There was a group of eight students and we were split up into groups of four then we would rotate.
By the end of the day (and to this day) my shoulder was tender. I was shooting with a 28 gauge, which didn't have that much kickback, but a full day of shooting when you don't shoot often can make anyone hurt.
Andrew did a great job (it was his first time ever shooting) and I did pretty well too. Actually learning the technique made me realize there was SO much more that went into all of this then aiming and shooting. There was a lot to remember but I got the hang of it. I can't wait to go back and do it again!!
If you have the chance, or are so inclined, book this school. It was so much fun for Andrew and I. We really want to make it a more frequent thing. The instructors were awesome and great to learn from. I couldn't have asked for a better day (or Christmas present)!
As for my outfit, ironically this is about identical to my look last year when I went pumpkin picking. But what's a girl to do? When you love something, wear it till it falls apart. That's my motto for this sweater. It's SO very old from ASOS and it is my favorite thing in my closet. It is the best all-around sweater a girl could ask for!

Orvis Shooting School
Andrew and I were in Vermont this past weekend and on our way home we stopped by the cutest little pumpkin patch farm. And we checked like 100 things off our fall to do list!
SHOP MY LOOK HERE:
Madewell: Lace-Up Sweater Dress / Barbour: Wool Scarf / Ray-Ban: Clubround Sunglasses / Lucky: Lace Up Bootie
We originally stopped because we saw "warm cider donuts" on the side of the road. How can one say no? But we stayed for a bit wandering around the grounds (it was too cute not to). We got lots of donuts and warm apple cider, we met some furry friends, we saw a ton of pumpkins and we enjoyed the beautiful weather!
We seriously had the best time in Vermont this past weekend. So much so that I totally forgot to post anything about it or blog (whoops!) but sometimes you just need to live in the moment, ya know?
I snagged this dress for the trip specifically because I knew it was going to be a bit chilly but warmer in the sun. It's a great transition piece for the "I want fall to be here but it's still hot out" scenario. Did I mention it is SO SOFT?? Like so so soft. I could wear it for days.

This might be one of my favorite looks to date. And I'm not exactly sure why... (other than the obvious it's #cute).
SHOP MY LOOK HERE:
J. Crew: Fleece Excursion Vest / Ralph Lauren: Blue Oxford (similar here) / J. Crew: Mini Skirt (old, similar here and here) / LL Bean: 8" Bean Boots / Louis Vuitton: Pochette Metis / Ray-Ban: Wayfarer Sunglasses / Nordstrom: Pearl Earrings
But a lot of my outfits are cute, so what makes this one strike such a chord with me? I told Andrew that it made me feel very college. Meaning this was how I dressed back then. For those who don't know, I went to U. of Kentucky, so being preppy and well-dressed was par for the course. So fall gamedays were vests, bean boots and a button down (pants or skirts were up to you).
I think what really brings me back is the return of my wayfarer sunglasses. Those were MY JAM in college. This was before all the mirrored stuff and before even aviators were cool. Wayfarers were where it was at. I wore them ALL the time and maybe shuffled through 4-5 pairs over two years (college gamedays are rough on the fragile).
With all the new and cool sunglasses out there, my wayfarers soon fell to the bottom of my basket (I have a literal basket with sunglasses in them) and I totally forgot about them. I had two pairs of tortoise; the 55mm and the 52mm (these are the 52mm) and I just simply tossed them aside.
Well, they're back and ready for action. I'm going to bring these back into the rotation because I honestly forgot how much I love them. And for the plain and simple fact that they make me reminisce on old SEC football days. #blessup
As for the rest of the outfit outside my love affair with my sunglasses, I'm breaking out the Bean Boots and you can get ALL you need to know about them HERE in yesterday's post.
Finally, the boots are out with my favorite mini skirt. I bought this from J. Crew a couple years ago and I really just should have bought more colors. I freaking love this skirt and it is perfect for fall. Pairing two things that ideally don't normally go together (like a shirt and bean boots) make it work that much more.
And did I mention this vest? It's similar to the shape of the excursion vests from J. Crew and the fur vests from two years ago. The perfect union and something that will be a must have for my fall attire. Ya dig?
