It has been so windy the last few days, as you can see. I’ve really started to miss those balmy 40 degree days. There’s been a lot of layering going on.
Confession: I don’t like this outfit. There’s just something… off, but I can’t identify it. I think… I may have liked a brown shoe better. Ah well. Hindsight. I’ve been really feeling black and brown lately, which you know if you’ve seen my Pinterest style board in the last week. Practically obsessed.
I’m wearing my Vivienne Vivienne Tam faux fur vest (c/o a gift card from TJ Maxx), Vince shirt, J.Crew chevron shirt (Dec 2010), J Brand jeans (similar), MIA wedge ankle boots, and Anthropologie necklace. My Coach Court bag is vintage, but it’s available on Coach.com.

For what it’s worth, I think this is pretty fly. Especially the rose gold (I’m a sucker for rose gold!). Also, I love following your pins–you pin such appealing stuff!
Thanks Mia :) It pretty much amazes me that anyone follows me on Pinterest because I’m pretty sure I pin the same outfit consisting of black, stripes, brown, neutrals, and leopard over and over again!
This is quite possibly my favorite outfit of yours EVER. I immediately pinned it. I love everything about it!
EGADS I love this outfit! I think it is amazing- the faux fur vest, the necklace, the navy blue-just stunning!
oh Alex, I love your outfit even if you don’t like it. I also don’t like the outfit I’m wearing today, eh. I want to learn how to properly wear fur!
Aw, thanks, Laura! And I don’t think there’s any proper way to wear fur… just throw it on! Although I think layering is fun and keeps it modern.
That necklace is amazing!
I really love this vest! Gorgeous!! I think brown shoes probably would have pulled the look together more, but I still really like it.
Hmm, I am wondering if I should dig out some of the outfit posts I have shelved for the same reason- something I just didn’t like. I, personally, like your outfit very much. Maybe I’ll do a post of all the rejects over the year….haha, see what people think.
This is a nice cozy outfit, I esp love the fur trim on your cardigan!
Loving the layers, and I’m glad you dig faux fur too ;)
I am not sure what is the problem with the outfit? I think it looks great, and I like the colours you layered under the vest. Alex…have you lost weight? You look fantastic and get that F21 hat :) You’ll love it, it is 100% wool link to it is in yesterday’s post!
Nooo Bessie, but I wish! I think I have lost the holiday bloat, though. It was so terrible for a few weeks. And I don’t know, it could definitely just all be in my head!
I love the fur!! you look great!

Thanks! I searched for a belted faux fur for so long and I’m really glad I found this one!
I love that fur vest on you- you look so glam! Also, that necklace is killer great.
I’m coming to New York tomorrow (only for the day) if you don’t have any plans later (6:30 or 7, probably).
well i kind of love the cream and the navy and the belted fur vest – its a neutral smorgasbord! (that’s a fun word. i never use that word. totally underrated.)
Me too! Now that I’m looking at these photos again I’m thinking I should have gone with dark denim and my brown boots… maybe in the future.
Smorgasbord is a fun word! I really like the word cacophony, too, and I never use that either.
So I think you cal tell we play a lot of Words With Friends.
