Investing in the Holidays | Appleseed’s

December 3, 2019 By Shelley Zurek 66 Comments

For today’s discussion on “Investing in the Holidays”, I am working with Appleseed’s, a women’s clothing company that exudes timeless feminine New England fashion with a modern twist. All opinions are my own.

1 Vest + 6 Holiday Tops = Investing in the Holidays

Choosing clothes for the holidays is absolutely one of my favorite fashion activities. There are so many sparkly, glittery and metallic choices…it just brings out my high wattage personality. However, many times during the holidays, you are traveling or moving fast, so figuring out your outfit and all the accessories can be nothing short of complicated. This year I am centering my holiday outfits around this one quality Quilted Black Vest from Appleseed’s. I find it so adaptable from casual to dressy styles (plus it’s nice and warm!) I teamed the vest with 6 gorgeous Appleseed’s holiday tops.Collage Quilted Black Vest 6 Tops Appleseeds Still Blonde after all these Years

Let’s take a peek at looks I styled while Investing for the Holidays!

#1 Bows and White

I love white pants for the holidays. It feels like I am breaking the rules (“Don’t wear white after Labor Day”) and still sticking to the holiday theme. The Appleseed’s Bow Sweater paired with the Quilted Vest says “Timeless with a modern twist”.

#2 Sassy Plaid

Didn’t I hit it out of the park with this look? I never thought to pair American classic plaid and black lace like this! It was fun to then pick up the gold highlight in this Ivory Stewart Plaid Shirt as the accent color. I love how it turned out with the quilted vest pairing.

#3 Bold Gold

#4 New England Heritage Classic

This outfit captures that feel with a classic holiday Red Cotton Cable Yoke Sweater paired with the quilted vest. I gave this American classic a twist with a shorter houndstooth skirt and some metallic silver oxford pumps.

#5 Rocker Chick Black

I admit, when I travel, I love to pack all black and a few blingy accessories. The pairing of this Coastal Cotton Scoop Tee with the quilted vest along with a leather jacket, chunky double strap belt and edgy boots makes this traveling girl a hit at any holiday party!

#6 Fair Isle Flair

For my final quilted vest look, I paired this gorgeous (but lightweight) Fair Isle Yoke sweater with fancy metallic pewter shoes and a flingy skirt. I love how the whole outfit says “Classic is ageless” but it’s adaptable too!

Check out this video that shows all the outfits in motion!

    What a great idea to pick one classic, versatile piece and make complete outfits around that piece. Years ago, I used to do that with a few pieces I owed for work purposes, but never really thought about doing it during the holidays. Will have to check out Appleseed’s too!
