#OOTD – Faux Fur

This past winter I gained an appreciation for faux fur.  I picked up an amazing fur vest by Love Tree & it quickly became my favorite layering piece for dresses, blouses & even long sleeve tees.  With spring knocking on the door my days of wearing it are getting limited.

Last night I had the honor of celebrating a friend’s new baby.  This was my chance to wear the vest one last time before letting it hibernate through the warmer seasons.

I opted for a classic shift dress in a boho-inspired print.  My faux fur vest was the perfect accessory to play on the dress’ bohemian flair.  To keep things chic, I added my Tory Burch wedges & a beige bauble necklace.

Favorite Thing Friday – Blanket Scarf

What better way to stay warm & stylish this season than with a blanket scarf.  A blanket scarf is exactly what it sounds like…a scarf that’s big enough to serve as a blanket.  This winter-time favorite has many personalities; it truly is the perfect addition to any outfit!

#OOTD – Simple Essentials

I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect plaid scarf for quite some time now.  I recently came across this bad boy at Old Navy; it’s exactly what I have been looking for & it was only $20!!!  Just looking at it makes me want to sip (spiked) hot cocoa by a fireplace & listen to Christmas music!
