File this outfit under “Pin now, wear later!” While a velvet blazer layered with a faux fur vest normally wouldn’t seem out of place in February, we’ve been having quite the warm front in Chicago for the past few days! (It’s literally supposed to be 70 degrees tomorrow… No complaints here, but what is happening?!) Knowing the crazy weather patterns in Chicago (and the East Coast, too!), I’m sure we’ll be back to chilly layersย sometime in theย next few weeks. Or maybe not, who the heck knows!
I wore this outfit a few weeks ago for an afternoon meeting at Soho House! While the foundation of this outfit is super casual (jeans and a tee), it felt appropriately dressed up with a long velvet blazer (last worn here!), a faux fur vest, and a pair of pumps. I re-wore the outfit a few days later for a Friday night dinner with a girlfriend, but swapped the heels for a pair of flat, black over-the-knee boots instead.

By the time you post outfits, it is often too late as what you have posted is sold out. Is there any way you can tweet fashion finds as soon as you receive or purchase them? Thanks!
I often tweet them and post on Facebook, too! I also share a lot of my shopping finds on Snapchat. I have a shop section where I include a lot of recent finds. I’ve had most of these sold out/old items for years… I’ve actually worn them all on the blog previously before they were sold out! I believe in building a wardrobe of staples that I wear for years and seasons to come, versus just wearing something once for the sake of the blog, if that makes sense. I understand it can be frustrating if you can’t purchase the exact same item right away, but I always try to find similar items for you to re-create the look if you don’t have something similar in your closet!
Love the faux fur vest paired with denim!

Love this look for casual Fridays, though it wont be too causal. haha… But on the bright note, the weather has been wonderful… sadly here in WI it is calling for freezing rain tomorrow. NOOooooo…
Whoopss… forgot to add, this is cute to be worn to work on Fridays straight to get drinks with the girls afterwards. No need to change at all. ๐
That vest is absolutely gorgeous! Lovely photos!
