Warm and Fuzzy

One of the items on my Clothing Wish List has been a fur vest.  When I put an item on my Clothing Wish List, I always start my hunt at the thrift store and once I feel like I have exhausted that option, I start looking online.  Then I decide my budget and make a list of requirements on that particular item.

For my fur vest, I wanted no front closure, tan in color, no other material on vest, and longer in length.  I finally found this vest at Forever XXI.  I think I had done a Google search that Forever XXI popped up, so I decided to check it out further.  The price was right, I found a coupon code for an extra discount, and FREE shipping.  Yippee!!

I am not a huge Forever XXI.  One, I'm not 21, nor do I want to dress like I'm 21.  Two, their quality is usually not very good.  Three, their clothing does not fit my tall frame.  I tried on a jumpsuit at their store this spring and it about cut me in half!!

I love, love, love this vest and it goes with everything.  I have worn it several times already and get compliments on it every time I wear it!!  

I paired my vest with a printed tunic I picked up this month at Salvation Army and my favorite Gap skinnies also from Salvation Army.  I added my boots from my mom and a necklace I made with sister-in-laws and mother-in-law this spring. Oh, and look, I'm wearing the same earrings I've been wearing all month!!

From head to toe, my outfit cost around $30.  I hope to share more ways I wear this piece.
