Fur Vests for the Holidays...

Fur Vests for the Holidays...

Because I live in Texas, there is rarely an opportunity (uh, still 80+ degrees!) for me to enjoy wearing a faux fur vest.  That changes when I hit the Northeast for Christmas.  My go-to looks always include a rotation of faux fur :)  So it's time to start getting inspired, and for those of you who are experiencing some colder weather right now, take a look at some inspiration...

Runway F/W 2012 Inspiration....

Alberta Ferretti
Rachel Zoe...the"Queen" of fur
J Mendel
Mulberry
Dennis Basso...the "King" of fur (and isn't this dress absolutely divine?!)
Blumarine
Fashion Icons and Street Style...

Poppy
Elle
Olivia
Kate
Rosie
Some Pinterest love...


One of my favorite ways to wear a faux fur vest...

Vest: Bebe (old)...love the belted look
Looks to buy...

Faux Fur Vest w/ Belt / FOREVER21

A look similar to one of my "home for the holidays" looks...

Clockwise from top left:   J. Crew Factory merino classic crewneck pullover  ($54.50)  (available in many colors) Extra 40% off site discount with code: xofactory,  Topshop MOTO Supersoft Skinny Leigh Jeans   ($76),  Aldo Catina ankle boots   ($90),  H&M fur vest  (L24.99)          
Are you a faux fur fan?  (say that 5 times fast!)  I would love to hear your thoughts on the many ways to wear a faux fur vest :)

On a side note...do you keep a blogging journal of your ideas and posts?  Or am I the only one...haha?!

    I've brought out a few of my vest already, and will likely be wearing more of the furry styles sooner. I love the entire Mulberry ensemble. Great inspiration! xo

    There is something just so chic about a fur vest... I'm sorry you don't get more of a chance to wear them! Although it got up to 73 in NC this week haha

    I love faux fur vests! I'm still trying to get one for myself! I've seen some that I love but they are just too pricy for me...and others that are within my price range but still not exactly right! At least there are plenty of options!
