Fur Vest

 Hello!

Here is my second post in my thrifting series, and it's based on a fur vest I purchased one of my first days in Aberdeen. I got it from the Barnardo's shop located on Union Street. It was a bit more than I was anticipating being from a charity shop, but fur vests are very trendy this fall so I was still more than happy not to have to buy one at H&M or Zara.


Disclaimer: The weather was not the most cooperative while taking photos of my outfits, so I'm not looking at my best! You've been warned...

This first outfit is casual but I think it looks really polished. I wore a chambray shirt with dark wash jeans, as well as brown Chelsea boots and gold bracelets. I think it works because the denims are of different washes and the vest really helps break it up visually so it doesn't look too 'Canadian Tuxedo'. The brown boots were also thrifted so that's a bonus. I also feel this outfit could easily be worn by someone young like myself or also middle aged woman since it isn't too flashy.

This next one is slightly more dressed up due to the jewelry and leather skirt. My tights are fleece lined so I can still wear an outfit like this in the winter without freezing. The necklace adds some sparkle and shine which makes me think of wearing this to a holiday party, if I swapped out the boots for something dressier.

And last but not least is my Halloween outfit! I decided this fur vest would go good with an animal costume, so I chose to be a cat. All you need is an all black outfit, whiskers on your face and a pair of cat ears! This is a great option for someone who is looking for a last minute costume idea that doesn't look completely last minute.

Anyways, I am loving this fur vest for layering in the fall and upcoming winter because it goes with more items than you would think! It's definitely a key piece for fall I would recommend buying.
