Faux fur and "winter" in the desert

Good morning, everyone! I celebrated what is forecasted to be our last bit of cool weather (before we hit the 80's next week) by throwing on my faux fur vest and favorite boots yesterday.  Before lovingly packing them up until, oh, next November or December or so.

Because I'm so short and feel this vest can be a little overwhelming (you can also see how I wore it here), I decided to belt it in the back so it gives the illusion of being a short vest.  I have no idea whether this really works visually or I look like a total moron, but it was nice not feeling all the bulk of the vest.



Vest: BB Dakota - old (similar here and here
Shirt dress: The Limited - old (similar here and here
Belt: The Limited Obi belt (exact here)
Leggings: Express (exact here)
Boots: Tory Burch (on sale and exact here! Also, similar here)

Recreate this outfit:

  5. I'm wearing my fur vest on my blog today too :) I am SO jealous that it'll be in the 80s by you. We won't see those kinds of temps till May if I'm lucky!

  8. Oh my gosh I don't know what I'm more jealous of this perfectly crisp and casual outfit or your warm weather. We wont be getting anywhere close to 80 degree temps for months... send a little sun this way if you can!

  9. Adorable outfit, Bonnie! Funny that I have something very, very similar still in 'Drafts' among the unpublished posts on my blog. Great minds think alike. :-)
