Fact or Fiction - Old Women love Vests

Old women love vests. I can deny it no longer. My mom came for a visit recently and she insisted on throwing on her Land's End fleece vest if there was the slightest nip in the air. I really didn't give this much thought until the other day when I saw two older women crossing the road. Would you know it, both were wearing vests and visors (The visor, a topic for another day). At that moment I realized there was some correlation between age and the coat with no sleeves, but alas the light changed color and I was unable to get a photo to back up my theory. Last night I was out to dinner when I saw an old lady two tables away wearing a vest. I wanted to take her picture but I thought she might get creeped out as I wasn't wearing any pants at the time (a topic for another day). So I am ask you this, is it fact or fiction that old women love vests? Do they think they are sporty? Do they honestly believe they provide warmth?

If anyone can get me a picture of one of these mythical creatures feel free to post it in the comments.

Haha yeah you're right about this! My mom wears those all the time too. I love her to death but she has been wearing these tacky denim vests since I was like 5. Here's a Glamor Shot of her from I think 1990 lol:
