Our weather is very transitional at the moment–often cold in the morning, but sometimes warm as can be by afternoon. I find that vests are a great way to go on days like these. I recently purchased one of these cute little vests for my three year old from Old Navy. She loves the pink color and the faux fur. I love that it is warm, but not hugely bulky, so I’m not fighting with the carseat straps. It is also easy to get on and off, because although it has both a zipper and velcro, the velcro keeps it closed on its own in a hurry. This helps my daughter be a little more self-sufficient, something I definitely appreciate as I try to get three girls out the door each morning. You can currently purchase one of these vests on sale for $18 (down from $24.50) at oldnavy.gap.com. I am pretty sure I only paid $15 in the store, however.

I love the look of a warm, puffy vest for fall. This fun version from Old Navy is available in a number of fun reversible patterns, and in sizes from 6-12 months up to 5T. Whether you have a boy or a girl, you will want to check these out. This will look great over a cozy sweater this fall. You can purchase one on sale for $20 at oldnavy.gap.com.

This is a great time to stock up on Old Navy Sweater Vests for your son. They are currently on sale for just $12 (regularly $16.50) and are available in a variety of colors and sizes from 6 months to 5T. If you love the preppie look for your little boy, these are the perfect addition to his wardrobe! They would also make a great gift. Visit OldNavy.com to grab this great buy while it lasts.

I’ve always loved vests. My older two daughters both wear them regularly in fall and spring. They wonderful  during transition weather. This great purple model from ADD recently caught my eye. The color is absolutely stunning and the look is sleek and modern. Made in Italy, it is designed to be virtually weightless, so it won’t slow your little down. It also comes with a hip coordinating satchel. Even on sale, this vest retails for a pretty steep $99. The good thing about vests, though, is that you can buy them a bit big so your child can wear them for several seasons. You can purchase one of these hip vests at estella-nyc.com.

My mom always told me that I looked good in red and apparently our youngest son, who looks like me, followed in my footsteps. Yesterday, he had on a red Baby Gap Sweater Vest with a penguin on it. It really complimented his coloring. Underneath, I paired it with a Tommy Hilfiger Baby white long-sleeved shirt with red and blue T-O-M-M-Y letters all over it and a simple pair of blue pants. Though I could not locate the vest online any longer, there are other cute options in sweater vests for baby boys for just $24.50. It’s a great option if you’re looking for dressy but not overdressed. If I wanted to make it less casual, I’d pair it with khakis, cords, or dressy jeans and a blue button-down shirt. The best thing is that a large range of sizes is offered; you can dress your baby up at 0-3, 3-6, 6-12, 12-18, or 18-24 Months.

This winter outfit for a toddler girl is so perfectly color coordinated that I wouldn’t mind having one of my own in a grown-up version. Made by b.t. kids/Baby Togs, the set includes a brown quilted nylon vest lined in pink fleece with a butterfly and flowers appliqued on the front; a pink Fair Isle sweater, and ivory corduroy pants. It even comes with a matching pink and brown hat. This would look adorable on your little girl as she heads off to preschool in the morning. The outfit is available in sizes 2T, 3T and 4T and is on sale for $40 (was $52) at PatchworkPrincess.com.

I recently stumbled upon this unique vest in Parenting magazine and just had to read more about it. The Peekaru Original Vest is a new way to “wear” your baby. Different from a baby sling, the Peekaroo  is a fleece vest that fits over any traditional baby sling or wrap and provides extra warmth for both you and your baby. It is supposed to fit comfortably over all brands of baby carriers. It’s made of 85% recycled Polartec fleece, with each Peekaru vest saving 25 plastic bottles from heading to the landfill. It is also Okeo-tex Standard 100, so you know it’s eco-friendly. The vest comes in black, blue, gray, green, or lavender, and in sizes appropriate for mommies and daddies. This seems like a must-have winter accessory to me, if you have a baby that you routinely carry in a sling. It costs $79.95 at TogetherBe.com.

This One Kid Reversible Floral Down Vest is chocolate brown and pink on side and solid pink on the other. My favorite feature after it being reversible, is that it is a “down” vest. Just imagine how warm, soft, and comfy your little girl will be in this vest. Wear the solid pink side with fun floral patterned knitted pants or do the “reciprocal” - wear the floral patterned side of the vest with jeans or corduroys. You can even let your little girl decide for herself! Visit BarefootBella.net to view this item, on sale now for $38 (was $74). It is available in sizes 7, 8 & 10.

Sweater vests used to be all the rage, but one rarely sees them now. That’s why this sweater vest by Original Penguin caught my eye. With its classic styling and beautiful heathered seedpearl color, it would be the perfect vest to keep your little man warm and fashionable at the same time. It includes an embroidered Pete the Penguin mascot on the left side of the chest.

Known as Original Penguin by Munsingwear well into the 1980s, the label was re-introduced as Original Penguin in 2003, and a children’s line was begun. This sweater vest is available in sizes from 18 months to 3T for $38 at RonRobinson.com.

With the holidays coming up soon there will be special places and events to attend that will call for formal wear.
