Every year around this time, I get out all of my fall and winter clothes and try to organize them and come up with new and different outfits combining the things I already have with a few new pieces. I have far more winter clothes than summer clothes and they take up so much more room in the closet because they’re so much bulkier. I try to keep outerwear in another closet so I’ll have room to spread things out and see what I actually have. The little vest that I’m wearing in this post is one that I’ve had for many years and I still love it. The length is good for me and it adds a little warmth for those days when a tee shirt or blouse just isn’t enough.
In the first outfit, I’ve layered the vest over a dark grey sweater and light grey jeans and I’m wearing leopard Rag and Bone booties. I love the combination of the textured fur vest with the leopard! I added a cute Chloe crossbody bag, but be sure to keep scrolling because I found a look alike Chloe for only $89.00!

The second outfit is somewhat similar, only I wore a striped shirt from Stateside under the vest and very old J Brand jeans (I cut them off because I like them cropped), combined with a different pair of leopard booties from Zara and a Marc Jacobs bag. Everything but the striped tee is several years old so I was pretty pleased with this outfit.

Today will be spent running errands and finishing up my grocery shopping for Thanksgiving. I do not want to be shopping after today because I don’t like crowds!
Be sure to check out the Crazy Blonde Holiday Shop where you’ll find gifts for everyone on your list! I hope you all have a wonderful week!

Hi Jess! I think the summer clothes wear out more easily, but I always seem want to keep my winter things! I hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving! I’m getting ready to start cooking!
Both are great looks. I too love a faux fur vest and find it so versatile. I will be wearing one with an orange turtleneck for Thanksgiving. Wishing I had those booties though.
Hi Elizabeth! Thank you so much for your comment! You’re right about the versatility of a faux fur vest! I’m always so surprised at how many things I can wear mine with! Put those booties on your Christmas list! Happy Thanksgiving!
