The extreme temperature drop in Boston today has put me in an arctic state of mind. One of the things I love doing during the winter is layering my fur vest over or under everything to stay warm as well as create interesting textures. As a layering piece, it’s a practical investment to keep you cozy on those frigid days. As a statement piece, a fur vest adds interest to any outfit with its luxurious texture.  Here I layered my fur vest over a leopard dress to break up the palette and added a jean jacket to blend everything together; this gives the outfit an understated yet chic look. The trick to wearing any fur piece is to avoid looking like Cruella DeVille through a careful balance of color and volume. Add a bit of sparkle to your accessory such as these earrings from Anjolee and you'll feel like the most glamorous girl at the next holiday party!

Now that the cold weather is here it is time to bring out those layering pieces. Autumn is by far my favorite season and it brings out the best in fashion layering. As long as you have the right pieces and accessories, layering is not only comfortable it is chic as well. First pick out your favorite faux fur vest, add some patterns such as a floral blouse or polka dots or both in my case to complete your ensemble. Add some accessories such as jewelry, knitted hats or scarves to give your layering some depth then finish off with leggings/ripped jeans and you're ready to brave the brisk air. Here I added a gold tassel necklace and silver ring from Modern Design to complete my look, have fun and Happy Fall ladies!
