LOL </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-874441 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:26:21 +0000 Transcona Shannon 874441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wear it and smile Glory! I'm on the lookout for a white denim or white moto vest so I will be in the same boat. And don't worry about the eyerolling - I think it's part of a child's job description, to roll their eyes at us - lol! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-874437 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 14:23:35 +0000 crutcher 874437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Rather than ask is the denim vest age appropropriate, ask instead, how do you feel when you wear it?...I love mine for the extra vibe it adds to my outfits...I love Joy's look and can't wait to see other ways to style the vest......I feel pulled together and HOT when I wear mine... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-874089 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 03:50:06 +0000 annaj 874089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a fan of the denim vest. It's on my wardrobe wishlist too! Wear, and enjoy!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-874045 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 02:52:32 +0000 Mo 874045@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I admit to a poison eye with denim shirts and vests. Not sure it's an age thing, but for me, looser and longer seems more chic . . . FWIW. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-874037 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 02:40:36 +0000 qfbrenda 874037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy, you've been pinned! Fantastic look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873958 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 01:29:57 +0000 Adelfa 873958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've told this story before but I'm not over it yet... My adult daughter and I were talking about my recent fashion evolution and I said firmly, "I am NOT having a midlife crisis."</p> <p>And she said, "No, you're not. But you're having a midlife SOMETHING."</p> <p>I will drink to that! Hooray for midlife somethings!</p> <p>I like Joy's "secretly pleased" framing. Surely that's what all of our kids are. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873929 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 01:16:21 +0000 krishnidoux 873929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do wear! And then post the results... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873927 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 01:15:45 +0000 Jan 873927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glory! You wrote the post that I was planning to write, but hadn't got to it yet! I'm 54! I just bought a denim vest from Gap. My daughter is supportive, with "strict guidelines". So as it hangs in my closet waiting for warmer weather I'm thinking of taking it back. Your post and everyone's comments have changed my mind...especially Joy's pic....Wow! Looking forward to some styling pics. I'll try to post too...next stop...Converse! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873922 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 01:11:48 +0000 sinead 873922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Glory, I think our kids aren't always that comfortable with us trying new things. Mom is mom, and it's easier when she stays the same. Doesn't mean you should. I'm 56, and a denim vest will be on my shopping list once I have my essentials. I think it'll be perfect in summer for those too thin and bare tops.</p> <p>Joy, what a great look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873911 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:58:20 +0000 pil 873911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Glory, that is funny. You're not too old.</p> <p>And, Joy, wow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873860 Mon, 11 Mar 2013 00:18:17 +0000 Kalli 873860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your kids are wrong, you just need to rock it the right way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873792 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 23:38:46 +0000 Debora 873792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A big thumbs up from this soon-to-be 58 year old!</p> <p>ETA: OMG Joy! You are my style role model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873778 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 23:29:27 +0000 Angie 873778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the ladies and my thumbs are up! I bet you're great at shrugging off those eye-rolls from the peanut gallery, Glory </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873776 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 23:26:49 +0000 Anonymous 873776@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a faded Hinge vest very similar to that one that I wear multiple times a week in the summer and I'm 66. Wear and enjoy and don't listen to them. They can get over it. My son chuckles when he sees me in Converse shoes. I think he's secretly pleased. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873770 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 23:23:18 +0000 Janet 873770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love wearing mine with a summer dress or a tee to edge up my summer outfits a bit. I don't think age is a consideration! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873753 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 23:05:45 +0000 Suz 873753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope so. I intend to get one at the soonest opportunity, and thank you for giving me such a great lead! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873751 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 23:01:13 +0000 Anonymous 873751@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Puh-lease! I think it's more a question of it with goes with your particular style. The kids will come around. Eventually! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873743 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 22:50:30 +0000 qfbrenda 873743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your kids don't get a vote! LOL I own that exact vest and plan to rock it this summer. I would love to see it styled on your. I bet you will look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873736 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 22:41:57 +0000 MsMary 873736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm 54, too, and I love a nice denim vest! I vote a big thumbs up!</p> <p>ETA: If your kids are teens, eye-rolling is their job. Pay them no mind! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873720 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 22:31:38 +0000 Raisin 873720@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really don't see what why a denim vest would be inappropriate at any age. I would like to see it on, though, so we can get a look at it styled. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873715 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 22:27:51 +0000 Nicole D 873715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think age should not be a barrier to rocking a denim vest, but I would probably style so that the vest is the only piece rocking, other than maybe funky footwear. That is, I would keep the other pieces classic and clean, like white tee, neutral croppped pants and a scarf or necklace.<br /> But I am no expert!<br /> The vest you chose has a nice shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/denim-vests---age-appropriate#post-873710 Sun, 10 Mar 2013 22:22:28 +0000 Glory 873710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello ladies. I have been hunting for a denim vest. I purchased 4 and returned 3 and am left with this one from american eagle. I will post a K/R asap. My question - is 54 too old for a denim vest like this? My kids sure think so...lol. I think I have lamented about the responses from them several times - pretty much everything I try elicits an eye roll. </p>
