It won’t be long before I’m on my way to Florida, which is where I spend Christmas each year. I’m always excited to head down there, but I’m especially looking forward to it this year. I haven’t travelled at all since last year’s trip to Florida. I’m not sure how I let that happen. Like most people, I love to travel! I try to squeeze in a couple of trips each year, often to Punta Cana for a beach escape, and New York to visit one of my best friends from high school. This year, life got in the way. By “life,” I really mean my employment situation.
Over the last year and a half or so, I’ve undergone a number of changes in my career path. I will have to elaborate on that journey another time (I’m thinking in the New Year). Long story short, I haven’t been able to justify any elaborate trips this year.

Style Tip: How to wear a faux fur vest with jeans
But…until I’m away from the cold, I’ve been wearing some of my favourite cold weather outfits. You know how much I love cozy cardigans and boots, as well as my faux fur. I’ve had this faux fur vest from Zara for a number of years now, and it’s still one of my favourite pieces. Even though I’ve worn it many times on the blog (like here and here), I don’t think I’ve ever shared how to wear a faux fur vest with jeans.
When it comes to wearing a faux fur vest with jeans, the most important thing to keep in mind is that you need to keep your outfit balanced. If you’re petite like I am, stick with your skinny jeans. If you wear your flared jeans with your faux fur vest, you may end up drowning in your outfit. Not the best look, if you ask me.

I totally agree with you regarding portions when you’re petite! I like to wear my faux fur vests with skinny jeans too!
I love this look – It’s very festive! And I like the way you layered your coat over the vest! What a great way to keep warm!
Jackie says
And yet, never warm enough! 😉

I completely agree with your styling tips, here! Faux fur vest with flares, unless you’re 6 feet tall, is not a good look and can definitely look silly. On the other hand, you look lovely as always. Love how you’ve layered that cozy jacket on top of the vest. And yes, I’ma little obsessed with faux furry fashion too!

so true on the balance of an outfit – I’m petite too and I always try to make sure my pants are tight if my top is long and flowy and vice versa. I only drown in outfits when its sweatpants in my bed haha.
