Extra layer

A fur vest under a coat is somewhat of a bulky layer, and truthfully it was not my intent to feature the coat as part of the outfit, however as a testament to how much the weather changed over the last week, I was feeling much too cold to bear taking it off.

I'm happy to see the days getting noticeably longer and the possibility of photos after work just before the light fades is a reality again. I love how you can see the sun's glow reflecting off the windows of the building in the distance in the third photo. It came out just for a moment before the passing clouds overtook it yet again.

  1. I think the vest & coat is a wonderful look---it certainly doesn't look too bulky! jodie

  2. I hate to admit this, but it even looks cold in these photos! I don't blame you for not wanting to take your fur best off and in all honesty, I think the layering is actually quite brilliant - when I had a fur vest, I usually reserved it for the fall and spring, never thinking about putting it under my coat and now I feel like I might have limited my outfit options a bit by doing that.

  3. I sort of feel like the fur vest and jacket together are really working, but I appreciate it must be a bit bulky -- and sorry that the weather turned on you; it's just starting to get nice here.

  4. I really like the two layers and whatever angle you are working you are working that hard and well! It DOES look cold though so I am glad you didn't take off the coat!
