Faux Fur in 80 Degree Weather???

Hello my loves.

I hope every ones day is off to a great start!

I honestly woke up a bit confused as I attempted to figure out how in the world we totally skipped over the Spring season and jumped directly into Summer.

The temperatures in my area have been well above 80 degrees all week and I'm really feeling some type of way about it!!

Fall and Spring happen to be two of my favorite season because of the comfortable temps. Being that these seasons are not too hot but also not too cold, you can get away with wearing faux furs and long sleeved button ups like so...

However, when Spring temperatures start out being 40+ degrees warmer than average for this time of year, you begin to question recent purchases and furthermore your whole OOTD selection in general.

I've been dying for a faux fur vest for the longest so when I saw this one for $12 I knew I had to have it. I think the best part about it is that it's not a full fur. It's more like a cardigan/vest with faux fur accents on the front.

See...

One of my blogger friend over at Vodka Infused Lemonade is hosting a link up today and she asked that we highlight our favorite Spring trend, and though this may not be springy at all, I'm totally in love with faux furs for the season.

I've never been one to follow the rules of fashion so in an effort to maximizing the items in my wardrobe I'm totally looking forward to rocking this vest with some cutoffs and booties.

Since I'm a borderline anemic who constantly stays cold I don't really have much of an issue with wearing items as such during warmer weather.

All I need to do is swatch my top to a nice embellished tank and I will have a totally different look.

I'm interested to know what trend you're looking forward to rocking this season.

I can't wait to hear from you!

Thank You so much for reading.

XOXOXOXOXO

Jewel Tones and Faux Leather...

So lemme just tell you all that this outfit had an extremely high likeliness of NOT making it here on the blog today.

I wore this to a party that my family threw to raise money for our family reunion which is coming up this summer.

It's definitely one of those 'fits that played out better in my head than in reality.

I was super infatuated with these faux leather pants that I scored from Target's clearance rack and I just HAD to wear them-like IMMEDIATELY!!

I figured they would be perfect for the party because clearly I hate bare legs in the winter and I felt like the pants were super sexy-especially for a party, right!?

 So I paired them with my favorite jewel tones-a royal blue NY&Co turtleneck and plum colored Guess booties-and I went.

Because I didn't want to freeze my buns off I even added my $3 faux leather vest for good measure.

I topped that off with my faux fur.....

And if you can't tell by my above facial expressions....

I hated every moment of it!!!

It was just too much for one outfit.

But I do love the backdrop!!

This outfit further reminded me that this blog is not only just for me but also for my readers. And though I may not be in love with every outfit that I wear, it's important for me to keep it real and not just display the pieces that look great on me but also the bad and ugly stuff in between. Who knows...by some miracle of chance this may serve as inspiration for someone. But I will let you all be the judge of that.

Thanks so much for listening (or reading rather) to my random outfit tribulation.

I can't wait to see your thoughts on this spectacle.

XOXOXOXOXO
