Patchy

November 21, 2011


{photos by Carmen Ng}
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.

    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!

    Aw, Jen, I love this!! The fur vest(which is high on my wishlist right now) adds so much interest to the skirt & blouse and looks so cozy & chic! And those booties are adorable! xo!

    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!

    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!

    Is that faux fur vest as soft as it looks in the photos? Because I seriously just want to pet it lol.

    SUCH a great look Jen! I love that you kept everything monotone and just added in the fur, it’s such a unique piece it kind of deserves to stand on its own. You look beautiful as always love 🙂

    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

    Not just anyone could pull off such a daring piece like this fur vest, but paired with the rest of your classic ensemble, it looks absolutely perfect. You really have an eye for great pieces!
