Layered Up

by Jen on Monday, October 22, 2012


Even though it's undoubtedly getting very cold very fast, I am still in denial about the fact that I probably need to be pulling out the winter coats. I love a good trench, so to negate the fact that we don't have nearly enough time in a year to wear them here, I've been layering whatever I can underneath to add some extra warmth to my ensembles. Wearing a faux fur vest inside (yes, the vest again... have I sold you on one yet?) not only prolongs trench coat-appropriate time, but also adds another element of interest to the look.

I love this trench so much - the gold button detail wins me over big time! And I love that you layered your fur vest underneath... I think my fur vest is too big and bulky to wear under a coat, unfortunately... I would end up looking like a hunch back! You look absolutely darling as always, Jen! I LOVE that skirt, I was admiring it from Dahlia as well! xo!

That is one awesome trench coat, no wonder you want to get more use of it. The color and cut are just perfection.

I love that trench, Jen! And I have a question about your heels/tights combo... whenever I wear heels and tights together, the tights make my feet slip out of the shoes easier, I guess because there's less friction. Does this happen to you too?

Cute look! I love the navy blue with the burgundy. I can't get enough of fur vest for the cold season as well.

Loving the trench and I'm thinking of getting it. I live in Vancouver too so two quick questions. Did you have to pay duties to have it shipped here? And how is the quality of the fabric of the trench? Thanks for your help!

You layer so beautifully and it's not bulky at all! I love all the textures in this outfit and the fur vest underneath really is the perfect way to extend the wear of a trench coat; plus it looks super chic!

Hello! I just happened upon your blog. So glad I stopped. You have such lovely style. I would never have thought of layering with a fur vest. I also layer so I really want to try this. Great post.
