Okay, yesterday I was just about finished wit the vest for my mother's co-worker but when she saw it she said that it looked to girly. Here is what it looked like before de-girling it.

I think that the reason it looked to girly to her was because the yarn that the pattern called for was discontinued so I had to substitute the best I could. Chenille yarn was the only option I had so I took it. I changed the collar so that it would not look so girly to my mother and my friends who also thought it was to girly. This is the finished product.
