This faux-fur vest (last seen here) felt like a bit of a risk when I purchased it last year: the fact that it wasn’t a solid colour not only made it considerably harder to style, but meant that it was truly a “love it or hate it” piece. I bought it anyway, since it was super soft and also on sale, and when I pulled it out again for this look my decision was reaffirmed; it not only works well as a cozy layer during moderately chilly days, but adds a dash of interest to my mostly dark coloured winter pieces.
Wearing: Zara vest, skirt and booties, Banana Republic sweater, vintage belt
You look absolutely stunning Jen! I love how you styled the vest, I’ve been tempted to leap into the faux fur trend as well, especially after seeing you, Kristy and so many other bloggers style it so beautifully.
Hope you had a restful weekend xo!

really like your vest! i’m looking to add some faux fur into my wardrobe this winter 🙂
That vest is gorgrous!! I really love the dark colors as well, this is a very balanced outfit and I love it! 😀
That Zara vest is so unique looking! Great choice. I love your style.
You’re right, it definitely makes the ‘usual’ dark coloured outfit a little bit more different; I like that you also paired it with a light coloured clutch as well. Hope you had a good weekend!
It’s very unique indeed! Where did you get your purse/clutch? I love the shape of it 🙂
the vest is definitely a “love it” item for me…but it certainly helps that you made it look so chic by styling it with that beautiful skirt and vibrant green top-beautiful outfit!

i love the patches!! it is definitely one of the most unique vests i’ve seen thus far and also one of my favorites. i think it’ll be great for brightening up your more basic winter looks, and probably for mixing patterns too <3shelby
