Happy hump day! Today I’m styling a cargo vest from Target. I love wearing vests but when the weather turns cold it’s hard to wear them with a coat.
This cargo vest is thin enough I can still wear a winter coat and be comfortable. Score!
You all know I love this cheetah scarf I purchased from Target several years ago. I have found one similar but it’s a Kate Spade scarf which means it’s expensive. But my guess it will be a scarf you will wear foreva!
This scarf is not an infinity scarf. Here’s how I made it an infinity scarf: I tied the ends together, I wrapped it around my neck twice. I turn the knot (where I tied it together) around to the front and tuck it under. I don’t want that knot on the back of my neck. Easy peasy!
Someone asked how I get the “bump” in my hair when I pull it back. Start with dirty hair, okay it doesn’t have to be dirty but it needs product in it and some hairspray. I tease the back with this brush and then pull it back with a clip or a ponytail holder.
This white shirt is from JCPenney. It’s a soft and a little thicker than my white shirt from Nordstrom. It gets 5 star reviews on their site and it also comes in petite and plus size.

Just purchased this outfit and wore it today!! Love it, and your ideas are fantastic!!
Thank you!!
Cyndi, I ordered the cargo vest and just got it today. I love it , the material is lightweight so not bulky. Thanks again for another great idea. Stay warm!
I bought the vest the day I read your post and styled it similarly the next day! Thanks so much for all your fashion ideas.
You styled a vest similar (same?) in the fall that I really wanted, but it was $80. Then Macy’s came out with one that was $100! Alas, I have been so sad without a vest, but today was an exciting day! I snapped one up at target just now. Thank you!
I don’t like to wear vests under my jacket so I think this would be a perfect fall outfit. Speaking of home improvement shows do you watch Rehab Addict with Nicole? We like that one because she restores things to their original, or close to, state.
I bought the vest to re-create this outfit, and while it looks fantastic on you, it definitely didn’t on me. I have a long torso, and the drawstring just really cut off at a funny place for me. I wanted to love it, but not everything works for everybody. Your ideas are fabulous and inspiring, though, and lots of things you wear are so versatile that they will work for lots of body types. Thanks so much for all you do to inspire women to be our best!
Love your outfit. Just bought the cargo vest online with In store pick up – I pick it up tomorrow. We watch Fixer Upper too and also Property Brothers. Both shows are great!
Haven’t tried to order groceries on line……..not confident I will appreciate someone else picking out my vegetables – I might need to try it out though. Thanks
Just read your email…..I must have a grocery pickup service!! That sounds ahhhmazing!! I am going to check to see if our store does it. Will check out Fixer Upper, you are the 2nd person to mention it lately. Thanks!!
I love Fixer Upper. I also love what you do. Maybe you should do a fashion fixer upper! Put me on the list!
I record Fixer Upper too! Love it – they are “good people”
That is a great running around outfit., and looks so cute on you.
Snowing and cold in Knoxville.
I almost bought this last Saturday, they also have a light weight jacket that is similar. I guess I need to make a trip back to Target and get it. 🙂
I too am a Fixer Upper addict! Love Chip and Jo Jo, and how great it is that they love Jesus too!! 😉 Our grocery store has on line shopping as well. We also have delivery available, but I haven’t done that yet 😉 Do you pay for the on-line shopping by you? It’s $10 here, but I actually find I don’t spend as much as I do when I am in the store shopping … you know, those impulse buys…ugh! So I too like the pick up 😉 However, I do get out of the car and help them unload the groceries. Love your outfit Cyndi. Have a blessed day 😉
I adore your style!! I have all I need for this outfit except for the white top and the vest…..on a mission now to check out that vest!
Cyndi, I am absolutely addicted to Chip & Joanna! Their show is the bomb & I love the way their interact & tease. They are SO successful & are now coming out w/the book too! I tape all the shows & watch them over & over!
I’d like to know your weekly meal plan for ideas. Thanks! I have a hard time planning in advance.
Hey Kim, I have been getting a lot of my meal plans here>http://www.skinnytaste.com/
I’d like to know your weekly meal plan for ideas please. thanks!
Love this outfit today Cindi. Thanks for sharing your style and your faith. Hope your day is filled with blessings. 🙂
Aww thank you Diane!!
I am obsessed with Fixer Upper! Love her style and everything about the show.
They just announced a new book coming out in October 2016. Can’t wait to see the new shows!
Me too!!
Lucky you!!! You actually have that service at your local grocery store.
I’ve wished for that for years especially when my kids were little!
I knew it could be done but thought they probably wouldn’t want to offer it because it cuts way back on impulse purchases. I know it would for me.
I love that vest and I love Target! It’s sort of a bad thing that you and Jo-Lynne keep sharing so many great pieces of clothing that I think I have to have. Since I am so hot natured, I would get a lit of use out of the vest.
It’s a very grey day in metro Atlanta, with it currently 37 in Duluth, thank goodness! Don’t want the sleet!
Have a blessed day!
It’s very gray here too! Ugh!
Love Fixer Upper! It’s my new obsession too! I am thinking about getting several of my friends from church together and doing a girls trip to Dallas and going over to Waco to go to Magnolia Market. Wouldn’t that be a great girls trip! I think I am going to have to make that happen.
I live just 15 minutes north of Nashville and our Kroger is offering that service too. I’ve been a little hesitant about using it though because we try to eat clean for the most part and I’m a little reluctant to have them pick my produce. Have you purchased any produce using this service?
Hope Nashville was good to you last weekend! Enjoy your snow day….we unfortunately got some ice along with our snow.
I have purchased produce and I pick the organic. If they don’t have it they will give you the other or you can check not to replace it. If that makes sense.
So far I have gotten almost all the organic food I wanted.
Cyndi
Love watching Fixer Upper too. Chip and Jo Jo are amazing. Love their style and their love of family. Wish our Kroger offered online shopping here in north central IN. I would be all about that! I’m enjoying the online bible study with Katie Orr this week!!
Me too!! The study is sooo good!!
Been watching Chip & Joanna since their first show !
So good!!
Love fixer upper tooo !!!!
And your blog cyndi , it’s great keep up the good work !
Than you Karen!!
Love how you put this together. I went to the Target site to check out the vest and it is nothing that I would EVER have considered wearing. However, you make it look SO cute!
Aww thank you LouAnn! It looks cute in the store but I agree not on the site.
Just to clarify my comment, what size is the vest?
Just wondered what size you are wearing and if it runs true to size. Very cute!
I’m wearing a small in the vest and a small in the white top. I think they run true to size.
Hope that helps!
I, too am a Chip and Joanna fan! Not only do I love their style, but I love their chemistry and love of family.
I really love your daily blog and style tips. You remind me so much of a friend since high school. Lovely inside and out!
You’re so sweet!!! Thank you!! It’s good to have friends.
Cyndi
I love your outfit as always, but I’m thrown off by all the comments regarding Chip and Jo Anna Gaines. I didn’t see where you said anything about them. I guess I missed it somewhere. I happen to love that wonderful show! They are the cutest couple and they are both so talented in what they do. I LOVE Jo Jo’s style…Oh how I would love to have her decorate my house. I think I have good taste and know what I like, but that girl can put everything together in her mind like nobody’s business!
Yes Melissa she can decorate!! Sorry about throwing you off. I sometimes write about different things in my email that I send out. I talked about Fixer Upper and grocery shopping today! ha!
I love Fixer Upper! Have watched since their first show. The bonus is that Chip and Joanna Gaines are believers! Joanna’s blog, Magnolia Mom, testifies to her faith in many of her blogs. So refreshing to have a clean humor, too, and a blessing to watch.
I know, isn’t that awesome!!
Love the vest! My daughter bought a sheering style one from Target and it’s held up quite well!
I hear of more and more people having groceries delivered. It’s like we’re going back in time! Anyone else remember watching old b&w shows on Nick at Nite? Those always showed groceries being delivered, and not just the milkman!
I’ll be praying for you all in for this nasty snow/ice. It’s supposed to get pretty cold here (Texas) but nothing like what people are getting other places! Stay warm!
We have a friend that works for Chip & Joanna! LOVE that show. Whitney is on Joanna’s marketing and design team. All the cool handwriting? That’s Whitney!
Oh Wow!! How fun that she gets to work for them!!
Looks great! Thanks for the idea with the scarf. I would not have thought of that 🙂
I love Chip, Joanna and their children.
Our Kroger in Southern Indiana does not have that service. I sure hope we get it, that would be great.
I just watched Fixer Upper last night. It’s by far my favorite on HGTV! Their work is incredible!! I’d love to take a trip and stay in their bed and breakfast they recently did.
I really like your vest from Target. It’s hard to tell in a photo, but does it wrinkle easily?
Penny
Penny it did wrinkle a little but not bad, I wore it all day. It’s kind of silky if that makes since!
I love Fixer Upper. My husband has not seen it yet. I love the outfit. I think our Kroger in Michigan has the order online and pay. I know Meijer has it. My In-Laws have everything delivered to the door in Massachusetts. They have a Roach Brother’s that has that service. They are 85 and 89 years old. In Michigan we are in the teens and yesterday was very icy driving. Very cold the rest of the week
I have been searching for a scarf like this but yet to find one.. As much as I love the Kate Spade, I cannot pay that much. If you find another at a more reasonable price, please let us know.
I searched the Kroger pick up deal and its seems they are only available in TN and KY right now.
Check out these animal print scarves:

I am always looking for a cheaper one!! The Kate Spade is the closest I’ve found but it is expensive.
Kohl’s has some nice ones. http://www.kohls.com/search.jsp?search=animal+print+scarf&submit-search=web-regular
Love Fixer Upper! Have been watching Chip and Joanna since the first season. It is my favorite HGTV show.
I haven’t heard of Krogers shop online service but, will have to check it out.
You look great as always. Thanks so much for doing what you do- and for sharing it with us.
Aww thanks Sue!
Cute outfit! I sure love my camel suede boots from Target and I really love that long , shawl collar sweater I got from Target too……I ended up with the “white” color but it was really light grey with a lot of black flecks! It’s really warm and I get lots of compliments. But I am not sure I am a vest sorta person….it’s a bit too casual to wear in the office and I have enough casual clothes. But as usual it looks great on you!
Thanks Marcia!!
We love “JoJo” and Chip, too! What a cute, fun, and talented couple! His sense of humor is SO fun and she is just adorable. I’m addicted!!
I literally had this vest in my shopping cart last night, but decided not to purchase it because I already have a military jacket. I think I am going to buy it now as you have styled it so cute here. I also have the scarf and it is one of my favorites! Have a blessed day.
That’s so funny!! Great minds think a like!
I love Fixer Upper too girl! If you have time after your Dallas trip you should drive to Waco to their store!
Stay warm!
I really really want to!!!!!
I love Fixer Upper!!!! Total #relationshipgoals for sure!!! They are just the most adorable couple and I love their renovations too!!
We have a lot of HyVee grocery stores around here and they just started offering online ordering AND free delivery if it’s over $75 (which is pretty easy to do). I haven’t done it yet but I think I might have to. But if I do it once, I’ll be hooked I”m sure! 🙂
Oh girl!! You need to do that!!
What size are you wearing in the Target vest and white shirt?
I’m wearing a small in both of them. Hope that helps!
Love, Love, Love Fixer Upper, and want to take a trip to Waco TX to see the new Silo’s. Your outfit looks so cute and perfect for our CA weather. Blessings to you…
Me too!! I want to go her store, the Magnolia. That would be so fun!!
Love Fixer Upper too! We were looking at houses this past weekend and I kept saying if only Chip and Joanna were here they would be able to tell us what we could do and they would make it fabulous!
Also love the Kroger service – hope it comes to Columbus soon! I’m watching it snow and thinking I have to get to the store.
I think it will. I think Cincinnati, Ohio was the first place they tried it!
I love Chip & Joanna! they are just too cute. My husband and I wish we could do a fixer upper with them!!
As for Kroger, I did not know they offered that service but I would totally love that. Maybe that is something that will be coming to Ohio soon. Do they charge an extra service fee for that?
The service is free for the first 3 times. Then after that I think it’s $4.50. I think it’s worth it because I only buy what I need!
I love your outfit. Everything goes together perfectly!!
Thank you Sandy!!
What does the service cost at Kroger We are very interested in this service. Stay warm. I’m like you I hate not being able to go anywhere. My husband says I’m good for the economy. Ha
Cindy the service is free for the first 3 times. Then after that I think it’s $4.50. But I think that’s worth it. I save money because I’m only buying what I need!!
Hope that helps!
