Have plaid and fur become synonymous in the fashion world, like plaid and fall or winter? It's a likely pairing you will see on any given fashion blog, at least the plaid shirt and a vest of some type. I've paired my faux fur vest with a plaid dress and riding boots. It was perfect for a church on a cool Sunday and for attending a baby shower that afternoon.

I added this mixed media moto jacket to my wardrobe during the holiday sales. I have far more opportunity to wear office attire than casual, so I paired it with this lace top and pencil pants for an office outfit. I started out the photos with the jacket zipped, but the top is too pretty to hide so I left it open. I think the jacket will work equally well with jeans off duty.

 

I was way past due a trip to the hair salon last week, so I twisted and pinned my bangs back just to get by one more day. Do you have any hair tricks for those last days when you really need to go to the salon for a cut and color? The twist helped hide the ridiculous grey streak I had down the middle.

5 ways to wear a faux fur vest

The faux fur vest is a piece that intimidates many. But it doesn't have to be that way. It's a matter of finding what works for you. I don't care for heavy thick "hairy" looking vest, but I snatched this one up on clearance four years ago and I haven't looked back. It works for me. Whatever your preference in a vest, here are five ways to wear it.

 

 

1. Over a sweater

2. With a sweater dress

3. With black

4. With plaid and jeans

5. With a pencil skirt and booties

The possibilities are endless. I have three more vest outfits in mind that I haven't worn yet.

There's just something about camel and navy that make it a classic winter combination. Add plaid to the mix and it's definitely screaming winter. These pieces made for a comfy and cozy, yet polished office look. It was a great way to start this week on Monday. But I'm still glad today is Friday.

 

It's supposed to rain tomorrow so I guess we are looking forward to another weekend indoors cleaning and organizing. Funny how a new year brings that on.
