Don't get too used to outfit posts. I'm no model and am fortunate to have someone who doesn't mind documenting my less-than-amazing looks from time to time. I won't lie, I do enjoying getting my America's Next Top Model on in front of the camera. I'm comfortable in what I'm wearing and it's all real, well, except for my weave (although my weave is REAL hair). 

This summer I discovered Pleasure Doing Business (PDB). I absolutely love their bandage skirts. Normally, I'd only wear flouncy skirts because of my muscular legs but now, thanks to PDB, I can have fun with the body con look without a full-on body con dress. I look forward to their Fall 2011 with great anticipation. 

As for my holey Kain Label t-shirt, I just can't let it go. I have another Kain Label t-shirt and it is just as holey. As I'm sure you all know, Kain t-shirts don't come cheap so, if I'm going to spend the money, then I'm going to wear the t-shirt until it is unwearable. Holes doth not make a t-shirt unwearable (unless I have a job interview or something of the sort).  

Cold Weather Continued: I'll be rockin' my faux fur vest

Vest: Rebecca Taylor

Blouse: Joie 

Denim: J Brand

Ankle Boots: Pura Lopez

Yes, I'm still running around in my Rebecca Taylor faux fur vest. I'm pretty much going hard for faux fur right now. Currently, I'm working on locating the perfect faux fur hat. If you come across any that you think I might be interested in, please email me.

Faux Fur Tip: If you're like me (athletic build and on the shorter side), avoid faux fur coats. They'll make you look Mr. Snuffleupagus.  A vest is the perfect way to enjoy the fashion without sacrificing what actually looks good on you.
