Style Diary: fur thrift

In my last style diary post, I included a thrifted fur that I had found in Lancaster PA for $5.  It reminded me that I was behind in my outfit posts and still needed to post this picture from this past winter, also featuring a thrift store fur piece.  I wore this larger fur (thrifted for $10) on top of my cardigan and got tons of compliments on the sweater from people assuming it was all sold as one piece.

I made it casual with a pair of black skinny jeans, black rainboots and my hair tied up in a messy bun.

The cardigan is from the Limited, the jeans $15 from Forever 21 and the sequin black ruffle tank is from H&M.

I added a little more shape with the skinny belt and added interest with the black jeweled, bowtie like necklace.

The purse, pictured earlier is from TopShop.  I think the whole outfit from head to toe costed me less than $200

Style Diary

I’ve been so consumed with wedding planning during my free time that I’ve barely had time to pay any attention to the blog.   Sorry!

Here is an outfit post that I’ve been meaning to upload for over a month now. Ever have one of those fashion aha moments where you suddenly realize that one thing goes with another?  For me it all started with this lace dress which I last wore to NY Fashion week in a totally different way.

From there, I added a short sleeved cashmere vneck top which had cute sparkly detail at the cap sleeves.  This was one of those pieces that I hardly ever wore and I was thrilled to have been able to bring it out again as a layering piece.  I nearly forgot it even existed.  And voila!  I had a new layered look!

Then to add a little shape, I added a vintage brown distressed belt,  topped the outfit off with a matching hat ( a freebie I found while shopping a VIP stop during NY fashion week) and added a $5 thrift store, fur collar.   Yes, I said thrift store.  While traveling through Lancaster, PA I stopped in to see what the Amish were thrifting these days and had to celebrate on my way out after finding 2 furs for under $10 and a cute hat.   Also pictured here are Celine boots which were a gift from my stylist friend at Bloomies.  (love her!)  The silver Prada purse was a gift from myself when I first started working at Saks.  A girl has to celebrate a new job, doesn’t she?

What do you think of this look?  And where would you wear it? I want to hear from you so please leave a comment.

It was a mix of vintage and new.  Girly and masculine.  Anytime I can add a little contrast to an outfit, it seems to make it all the more interesting.
