Look #3 was my first look I created w/ this vest, and it feels "me." I love ts, and actually this is the most realistic everyday way for me to style my difficult to style vest.</p> <p>Angie, thank you for the clarification! As I mentioned, the Boho look is the most challenging one for me to pull off, because I feel like I'm going to a theme party (case in point: every year my brother has a Jimi Hendrix party because he and Jimmy were both born on Nov. 27th). Likewise, look #6 feels most costume-y to me. So it's something I've challenged myself to this year: how to express this look w/out looking like I'm in a costume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-282413 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 19:44:37 +0000 Sara 282413@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1 and 2, but I LOVE 3! The small stripes combined with the sleek bottoms and on-trend vest seem so model-esque to me. I have a similar vest that I sometimes wear like your number 1, but with a black faux-leather obi belt on top. I've also been wanting to pair it with a black turtleneck dress and some Steve Madden clogs I got for Christmas. You could also switch out your white shirt for a grey one, or try look 5 with a black skirt and tights instead of pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-282181 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 05:21:37 +0000 Angie 282181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Cocolion, you are very welcome. I don't like bohemian fashion for my own style, but that doesn't mean that I can't like it and appreciate it on others. There are several forum member who rock the look - you included. All styles, when well executed, are fabulous </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-282177 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 05:13:29 +0000 CocoLion 282177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for looking at the pictures and giving me your feedback. </p> <p>Isis -- yes I like #2 as well, it just feels simple to me. </p> <p>Morethanbeige -- thanks for the vote of confidence! Those were the four I felt most confident in.</p> <p>Louise -- my two favorite styles are classic (Calvin Klein, Lauren) and Boho (Anna Sui). Discipline and decadence. I find Boho much harder to pull off without looking like a cliche or Halloween costume. I wonder if anyone else loves these two styles equally? And if so how to you express that, is it a compartmentalization thing or can you do both at the same time?</p> <p>Lisa &amp; Aida -- interesting that you like #9 because I felt frumpy in it, if a fur vest can be frumpy. I think it's the trousers that I'm getting used to.</p> <p>Angie -- You are so generous! Thank you for the compliments. I have noticed that you don't care for the boho thing. I like it but who knows, maybe my style will evolve? : )</p> <p>Jonesy Medusa -- #8 does feel like the most current silhouette of all of the looks, perhaps aside from the slim bootcuts. If you think that belt buckle (purchased at Barneys in the mid-80s) is big, you should see some of my other belts, LOL! I will definitely try some slimmer belts, good suggestion. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-282097 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 02:30:53 +0000 medusa 282097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite is #8. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-282084 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 02:12:21 +0000 Aida 282084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love #9, followed by #8 and #6. I'm with Jonsey on the belt buckle for #1/2, if you had an all black belt it would really elevate those looks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-282032 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 00:56:32 +0000 Jonesy 282032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, you nail it with 8. The looks with the large belt buckle (1-2) seem too '70s costume-y to me, but that's just my two cents. Without the belt (or a more streamlined-looking buckle), and I'd be all over those two looks :). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-282020 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 00:39:20 +0000 Angie 282020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit 6 is SOOOO 70's! Those tops were everywhere and in dress and skirt versions too.</p> <p>Love outfits #1, 2, 8 and 9! Well done. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-282013 Tue, 18 Jan 2011 00:12:57 +0000 Lisa 282013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like 1, 2 and 9, the looks where the colors and detail for the top is basic to let the vest shine. Oddly enough I also like #6, I think because the colors in the top pick up the vest's colors. The striped tops compete with the vest too much for my taste. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-281992 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 22:42:50 +0000 Claudia 281992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a cool look (scroll down): <a href="http://thesartorialist.blogspot.com/search?q=little+gio" rel="nofollow">http://thesartorialist.blogspo.....little+gio</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-281981 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 22:09:25 +0000 Louise 281981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favourite is #1/2 the sleek neutralness shows of the vest. I do like #6/7 too gives off a great 70's vibe x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-281978 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 22:08:09 +0000 morethanbeige 281978@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love outfits #1 and 2 and #6 and 7. Great looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-281967 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 21:45:41 +0000 Isis 281967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vest is gorgeous! Since it is such a statement piece, I prefer your "minimalist" looks in 1 and 2. These highlight your vest!!! I like 2 the best; I like the v-neck. I suspect that I might like 1 just as much (or perhaps a longsleeve with a v-neck), but all the black makes it difficult to photograph. I also like the necklace in both. Great look! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-281908 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 19:48:40 +0000 CocoLion 281908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Got it this time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-281907 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 19:42:44 +0000 CocoLion 281907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oops sorry, having trouble posting pictures! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/how-to-style-faux-fur-vest#post-281906 Mon, 17 Jan 2011 19:42:13 +0000 CocoLion 281906@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased this BB Dakota vest in November and have been struggling with it. I'm probably not alone as I've seen a few other threads about this topic. Here are my attempts:</p> <p>1. Going for a sleek minimal look: ponte pants, t-neck, belt, silver necklace.<br /> 2. Similar minimal look -- everything's the same as above except with a short sleeve v neck to show more skin.<br /> 3. With 7FAM straight-legged dark wash and rather fitted small striped t.<br /> 4. Same items as above except w/ an oversized, large striped t.<br /> 5. Tucking attempt!<br /> 6/7. Floral sheer blouse, 7FAM jeans.<br /> 8. Long purple tunic t and slim boot cut jeans. The vest actually has purple-y tones to it.<br /> 9. I wanted to try something with my new 7FAM high waisted trouser jeans, belted. The top doesn't work... maybe this vest won't work with voluminous trouser jeans because the vest is so volumninous. </p>
