When I got home from Disney World, there was a lovely box from Lands End on my front porch. In it was a lovely winter vest. I’ve always wanted a vest for those almost-winter days. And I am officially in love with this one. I have essentially not taken it off since we’ve been home. But yesterday? I really didn’t take it off. Check it:
Top Ten Places I Wore My New Lands End Vest Yesterday
1. My Car
Every single time we get in the car, we have a big discussion about how it’s hard to buckle the car-seats because of the kids’ winter coats. And when I say discussion, I mean, “DONOTSAYITAGAIN. YOU ARE WEARING YOUR SEATBELT AND COAT.” I’m glad I don’t have that problem.
2. Target
Yes, the big red cart. And this picture makes you wonder. Did I pose like that? Or did I really just click the button and hope it would take a picture of me? Let’s just look at the vest instead, shall we? Grey wool and down! Lovely!
3. Waffle House
Yes, I took the kids to the Waffle House after shopping. Because it wasn’t just Target. There was also TJMaxx, Bed Bath & Beyond and Kohl’s. And besides, you can get whole food at Waffle House. *shrugs* (Don’t you like how my vest looks, tho’? It’s the perfect length!)
4. The Post Office
Oh, I didn’t get a picture here because I was trying to figure out why sending two of the exact same books (one to Washington State and one to Tennessee) would cost $5 more. I mean, I get it, it’s going across the country. But the book didn’t even cost $10 bucks. And it cost $10 to mail. Lame.
Oh, I was also mailing packages with a 3 year old who claimed, “I have to go potty, I have to go potty.” the entire time. (He didn’t.)
5. My Living Room
Because it’s a vest, I basically don’t like to take it off ever. I’m always a little cold in the house, so I just kinda wear it around. Plus, there is a secret lipstick-iPhone pocket (at least that’s what I call it). So, it’s nice to have on at all times.
6. Outside
It’s sunny and high-50′s today. If you’re in the sun, it’s lovely. In the shade you need a coat. And maybe a furry hood. We all succumbed to the furry hoods this year. I likey.
7. Post Office
Oh, I’ve already been here once, you say? You’d be right. I forgot an address and when I sent a tweet out to someone to send it to me, she sent me an email address. (Not naming any names, aryMay). Also: do you know how hard it is to inconspicuously take a picture of yourself in the middle of a line of 5 people in the Post Office? Hard.
8. Chick-Fil-A
What?! Eating out TWO meals in one day? Don’t throw stones, people! At least my dishwasher is empty. 
9. Gas Station
Ah! The suffocating smells of unleaded!
10. LandsEnd.com
Y’all. This vest is like $130. It’s on sale for $50. That’s like a Christmas present. For yourself. You’re welcome.
