Hey hey! Happy Wednesday! I have had this vest for at least a year now and it’s one of those neutral pieces that I can literally grab and throw on over anything. It looks great with flowy short dress as well as jeans. Not to mention that it is super warm because of the faux sherpa lining. I am excited because I have so many similar options for you guys that I have linked below.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We had a rather abrupt ending to ours. On Friday we headed home from Virginia. About an hour out of town our car broke down on the side of the interstate…at 9 o’clock at night…near the Mall of Georgia! Not only is this about an hour away from our home, the traffic was horrendous due to Black Friday shoppers. Luckily, we have some friends that live on that side of town that were able to come and rescue us. Thank you Brooks and Elizabeth!!!!!
We had our car towed to the dealership to find out that there was no oil in the vehicle and that our 7 year old GMC Acadia needed a new engine!!!! You guys we had the oil changed 1,000 miles ago. We have had so many issues with this car. Things constantly break on it, and I lost count on how many times it has been recalled after the 5th notice. We have decided not to get it fixed because it honestly isn’t worth it. We would rather make a down payment on a vehicle that we can trust. Needless to say that we will never own another GMC after this experience. Good riddance!
Now that we are in the market for a new car, I would love to hear any recommendations from you guys. We will probably get another crossover vehicle so that I can haul my kids around. We also love to travel so I need it to be a road warrior that will last longer than 7 years. Any help you guys can give would much appreciated!
Have a fabulous day!

Your issues with the GMC sound so annoying! I’ll definitely avoid them when buying a car.

What a way to end Thanksgiving. So sorry – car problems are so frustrating! I had many Honda’s for many years – and loved their reliability – but last year got an Audi SUV – that is supposed to be just as reliable – and so far (25K+ miles)- it has been great with no problems (and so comfy to ride in).

Ugh what a bummer about the car but glad everyone is safe and you guys didn’t have to wait too long to be rescued! I have a similar vest that I wear ALL THE TIME and it’s just the best – goes with everything! xo, Biana –BlovedBoston
Oh that stinks, I am so sorry that happened to your car and that GMC didn’t take care of it – seriously they should be replacing the engine, that’s absurd! We always buy Hondas and they have been fabulous. Years ago the transmission died on my Honda (it was 8 years old at the time) and Honda replaced it and gave me a rental car. My boys drive our old 2003 Honda Pilot that has close 200,000 miles on it and it still runs great! I hope you find something that works well for your family!

This is such a cute look, I hate car issues. I have a toyota and it has never broken down. For real NEVER! I do take good care of it and do my services on time.

This vest is TOO adorable and so chic! And omg I’m so sorry to hear you guys had car trouble! What a nightmare especially during all the busy holiday traffic! Glad y’all made it home safe and sound! Last year for our bigger car Steven and I got a Ford Escape and we really like it! My parents also have a Toyota Rav4 and it’s SO nice–plus I feel like Toyota’s are super reliable!

I’ve been on the hunt for a vest like this! Love it!! And so sorry to hear about your car breaking down 🙁 I will definitely be avoiding GMC in the future, that’s for sure! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes

Love this vest on you, it looks so cozy! So sorry to hear about your car, frustrating to say the least! We got an Acura RDX while I was pregnant, and have been loving it ever since. It’s the perfect size for our little family, and I love the push button close for the hatchback which is great if I’m holding Serena or loading groceries. The MDX is a little bigger if you need more room. Other things I love – the rear view camera, moonroof is standard on all models, great safety ratings, plenty of legroom, and it gets great gas mileage for an SUV. Acuras are technically Hondas which like Toyotas are super reliable and will last forever. Happy shopping <3

What an unfortunate ending to your thanksgiving! But at least it wasn’t too terrible of a situation. I hope you have fun car shopping. I’d make a list of what is most important and stand by it. Don’t let pushy salesmen pressure you into getting a car you don’t really want!

I hate dealing with car repairs and all the money you invest in them! But we have to have them to get around!! Love your outfit – so cute!

This vest is so fab! I searched for one last year and never found one I loved. I’m going to have to check out your suggestions! So sorry to hear about your car. I love my Toyota Highlander! Good luck with the car shopping!

Oh man that stinks! Car trouble is the worst and even worse when you feel like you’re constantly fixing something! I’ve had a few toyotas and love their reliability, never had any issues!

Love this cozy sherpa vest! Vests are great investment pieces, so versatile and perfect for layering, one of my favorite winter looks!

I absolutely love this look. I own a sherpa vest and wear it all the time too…it is so warm and goes with everything. That sounded terrifying about your car. We have always purchased GMC too and seem to have had a lot of problems; nothing as serious as yours though! We are also in the market for a new car so I’m anxious to see what you buy.
Absolutely loving this look dear! That sherpa vest is such a classic style, and never gets old. You paired it perfectly with those ankle boots and of course, blue denim.
