There I was walking down Bourke Street in Melbourne when I spotted this knitted vest on the mannequin in the window display. The faux fur caught my eye, as it always does. I love anything that has faux fur. It just screams warmth for winter. Yes I know it doesn’t snow here, but who doesn’t love fashion!
So into the store I went with my sister and tried it on. No fitting room required. I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t normally dare try something on without a fitting room. I have a fear that if something doesn’t fit then I’d get stares from people around and that look of pity that I don’t belong in a regular sized store. But fortunately for me, it fit!
Of course the vest was on sale so I couldn’t resist! It is now my new favourite item in my closet.
This vest can be worn with jeans, over a dress, a skirt and even tights. I can see this vest making many appearances this winter in Sydney.
As you can see in the pictures below I have worn it with a sleeveless white dress for when the weather isn’t too cold, and on the other hand I have worn it with a long sleeved top and jeans for a warmer look.
I can’t wait for some more faux fur purchases this winter!
