American Girl

As you read this, I’m on my way back to New York City with a fresh perspective, light sunburn, lingering headache and immediate need to juice cleanse - or, at least, to consume far fewer hamburgers and wheat-based beers than I did over the last few days.

In-vest-ing

Yesterday, a co-worker of mine asked just how many fur vests I have…

Initially, I was confused. Can you ever have too many? Especially in the Midwest, where winter weather (seemingly) claims the majority of our calendars, it’s hard to know when to say when…

fur fashion, what to wear with a fur vest, how to wear a fur vest, fur vest outfit,

But, to answer the question, I have two. I style each of them very differently, though (under jackets, over a blouse, with a maxi skirt), which may be why I give off the impression that I own a closet full of fur vests… A girl can dream.

I thrifted this DVF blouse the second-to-last time I was in New York. Among other things, one of my favorite things about Manhattan is the volume, variety and accessibility of vintage and consignment designer pieces.
