Pairings: What to wear with a Faux Fur Vest

:: BLOG :: wendyslookbook.com
:: FACEBOOK :: / wendyslookbook
Hi Everyone! Even though it's Spring, this episode is dedicated to all of the ladies who are experiencing Autumn right now =) I love Autumn! It's the perfect season to experiment with layering. Our feature item today is the Faux Fur Vest. It's animal cruelty-free and a great alternative to the wool coat. For a casual chic look, pair it with ripped jeans or plain skinny jeans. For a dressier look, pair it with a black sweater dress. And for an experimental layering look, pair it with a thick knit sweater and shorts.
Feature Item - Michael Kors faux fur vest
Pairing #1 - Michael Kors faux fur vest, Marc Jacobs sweater, Forever21 jeans, and Christian Louboutin pumps
Pairing #2 - Michael Kors faux fur vest, Barney's sweater dress, Tibi belt, Donna Karan pantyhose, and Giuseppe Zanotti pumps
Pairing #3 - Michael Kors faux fur vest, Forever21 knit sweater, Splendid tank top, Armani Exchange wool shorts, Donna Karan pantyhose, Azzedine Alaia pumps, and Fendi bag

I love how you are being yourself... don't ever change! Your videos are the best.

[@Lurker404]

thank you Wendy for going through sweating and being uncomfortable for us in Autumn at the moment ^_^ you're so lovely and very very fashionable

[@iresine31]

seriously wendy you need to have a tv show. you are the most adorable person EVER, you have the best style and the most helpful tips, and you are such a joy to watch. honestly it is a no brainer - you would be a huge success I think!!

[@littlekawaii101]

Man ... people get worked up over the stupidest things... like really? Shes having fun in her videos and you're calling it annoying? You're lucky shes even posting videos for us.

[@silkmint]

My aunt gave me a faux fur jacket last winter, but I didn't really know what to wear with it. So I never wore it. After seeing this video I can't wait for fall so i can wear it!!!! Thanks wendy!

@dixiebabe07 Hi! Yes, I volunteer as a mentor working with at-risk youths. The reason I can afford designer pieces is because I have a very strict spending schedule. My number rule is that I can only buy a designer bag or shoes when I sell an item in my current collection. That keeps me from over-indulging =D I'm a huge fan of Forever21, Zara, and H&M, but I usually shop there for trendy pieces. For classic pieces, I tend to invest in quality items that will last for a long time.

[@strawberrypigz09]

Omg, I found you a few days ago and I love you, you are so real...I think any girl can relate to you! I love the way you engage the audience! Continue the great work!!

[@indie560]

Oh Wendy, I am so happy you posted this video! I was searching online and on youtube for someone who created a video on how and what to wear with a fur vest! I just bought one and I needed more ideas, so thank you! I love your channel, you are too cute! :))

[@shyrc]

You are such a natural wendy..you make me laugh:)

[@kimmim1]

Thank you so much for doing an autumn video! I live in Australia so autumn is here for me.

[@wendyslookbook]

@BlairBearxoxo I agree! They are simply gorgeous. Thank you so much for watching!

[@wendyslookbook]

@mrdizzybubbles I'm so happy to hear that! It took me a really long time to find a vest that has a slim cut.

[@mikachu84]

this video is just what I needed! I bought a faux fux vest from H&M a few weeks ago and apart from black jeans + black sweater I couldn't come up with anything inspiring. Thanks for the layering tips.

[@wendyslookbook]

@ValerieEileen I totally understand what you mean... I'll definitely look into doing an episode on this topic. Thank you for the suggestion!

[@shirleyobonneylartey3655]

This is the first ever video I have subscribed to within the first 10 mins I watched! I really enjoyed watching yusf Wendy 😊

[@jessicalee422]

YAYYY love seeing you in my inbox!!!! lookin fierrceeee in vest!!! love you girl! Xoxoxoxo !

[@wendyslookbook]

@miss2slick oh dear, I hope I'm not a bad enabler! LOL Thank you so much for watching! And I love this vest. It surprisingly goes with a lot of different outfits!

[@wendyslookbook]

@ilanaesthetic That's a great question! It really depends on your style and budget. I personally prefer buying a few pieces that are high quality and have timeless design, which will last for years. For more trendier pieces, I like to buy them at Forever21, Zara, H&M, etc.

[@malts4tina]

Wendy, thanks for helping me start my day off with a smile. You are the epitome of cuteness. Your laugh is infectious. :)

[@wendyslookbook]

@twitternut Thank you so much for the support and for your kind words! I can't wait to show you the scarf episode!

[@Babycalico]

Wendy, you are so funny! I cracked up when you were trying to push air up the shorts! Love your style!!! Looking forward to the next episode. =)

[@wendyslookbook]

@chocostrawbunny What a great idea! I just have to find another pair of jeans that I can play with and I'll make a how-to tutorial. Thank you so much for the suggestion!

I always avoided fur vests because i'm on the petite side and thought that it would overwhelm me...but after seeing you, I'm inspired! Great video! :D

[@wendyslookbook]

[@wendyslookbook]

@Babycalico Thank you so much for your comment! Sometimes, I just randomly do things and Mystery Man does an amazing job editing it all together. He cracks up every time I do something silly =P

@MsBinkies I know right?! I've gotten a lot of compliments on that sweater. It was $20 and I would have gotten another one if they had it in a different color.

[@LornaKelso]

You are hilariously funny and super smart. I am really enjoying your channel and blog. I got so excited when I saw this video in my subscription box! I really look forward to Tuesday's episode. Scarves are an important part of my wardrobe and I can't wait to see your take on them.

[@wendyslookbook]

@chicklebird Sure! I'm actually planning to do an episode on electric blue skinny jeans for Spring. I'm still looking for a bright orange sweater to throw into the mix.

[@DarbyGodbee]

[@chicklebird]

i love for you to do a video on the color block trend! i know the color block tunic sort of touched on that but i'd love to see a video of how to do it amped up a bit with a few different bright colors thrown into the mix :)

[@AlyoshaJackson]

I won't start a discussion with arguments because I have my opinion and you have yours, which I understand even if I don't agree. I know I'm not going to change your mind and you're not going to change mine, so fight for what you think is right, because the world also needs people like you who care about animals.
