Vests are winter’s MVP — they add warmth where you need it without the bulk. Here’s a sporty vest you can wear as a layer or on its own.
This semi-fitted, lightweight vest is made with water-repellant nylon and filled with warm, recycled Thinsulate. The quilted pattern adds interest while the pockets and adjustable bungee waist add practicality.
Add this under your wool coat for chilly commutes or with a windbreaker for unseasonably warm winter weekends.
Athleta’s Whisper Featherless Vest is $159 full price (but “tapestry gold” is on sale). In addition to tapestry gold, it comes in “salvia pink” and black. It’s available in XXS–3X as well as tall and petite sizes.

Why is there no new post today? Is there some holiday I don’t know about?
It seems that we’re well and truly over afternoon napping (kid is 3.5). Should we try enforcing quiet time in his room? We did try that last weekend and he just flopped around a ton and did not want to stay in his room so we gave up.
Any tips for Legoland theme parks? My kid is only 5 and a LEGO fanatic, so I’m expecting the hotel pool and builder workshops to be a bigger hit than the rides, but I’m open to any suggestions. We’re staying at one of the on-site hotels.
