But were they ever really gone? For those of us who've always loved blogs, no, but there's been a recent focus of "going back to blogging" and we are absolutely here for it. One of our favorite ways to start the morning is perusing through some of our favorite blogs for everything from home decor inspo to recipes and style ideas. The reality is, there's no shortage of incredible blogs on the internet, but we wanted to share a few of our favorites that we find ourselves going back to again and again. ]]> https://www.jessannkirby.com/15-blogs-we-love-to-read-we-want-your-recs-too/feed/ 13 https://www.jessannkirby.com/best-sweaters-vests/ https://www.jessannkirby.com/best-sweaters-vests/#respond Mon, 22 Aug 2022 16:16:17 +0000 https://www.jessannkirby.com/?p=45684 Sweater vests have undoubtedly made a comeback, and I am 100% here for it. From slim fitting cashmere crewnecks to chunky cable knits, there are so many stylish sweater vests to choose from. What I love about sweater vests is your ability to layer, especially for those early days of fall when it might not be cool enough for a full on sweater. Wear them over a button down for a chic office look or pair with jeans and clogs for a casual weekend outfit. It's one of the top items on my wardrobe wish list right now, so I'm rounding up 15 chic sweater vests along with some inspiration for how to style a sweater vest this season. ]]> https://www.jessannkirby.com/best-sweaters-vests/feed/ 0 https://www.jessannkirby.com/click-read-love-8-19-22/ https://www.jessannkirby.com/click-read-love-8-19-22/#comments Fri, 19 Aug 2022 10:52:04 +0000 https://www.jessannkirby.com/?p=45642 Happy Friday.
