You are right--you can't beat faux fur for looking luxe and staying warm! I wore mine for the same reason this week--I wanted to look nice and be toasty (and I didn't have to wait for buses!). I like the chic, understated palette and the way the shine and textures work together to add glam. The treats look yummy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759498 Sun, 11 Dec 2016 14:29:46 +0000 Anonymous 1759498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look wonderful! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759386 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 22:46:34 +0000 Suz 1759386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a great outfit, Tanya -- really versatile and practical and it definitely fit the (complicated) bill. I couldn't agree more with your thoughts on outerwear, and the treats look delicious!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759343 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 16:09:15 +0000 Anonymous 1759343@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So fab Tanya! A wonderful version of Angie's ensemble. I like how the outer layers look too. And those baked treats...yum!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759315 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 15:22:51 +0000 Tanya 1759315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much for your kind words, everyone.&nbsp; If you try one of the recipes please let me know how they turned out.&nbsp;&nbsp; Mirjana, holidays are perfect times to make Bajadere, aren't they?&nbsp;&nbsp; I remember when I was a child my mom would always make them around New Years.</p> <p>I am also glad to hear more agreement on various coat fits. Karie, I usually get frustrated the opposite way, when one of my looser coats works the best with an outfit in terms of color and style, but it looks too big because whatever I wanted to wear it with is not very bulky.</p> <p>Angie, I love both your hat and gloves, the gloves especially, they are adorable and so very you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759309 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 15:15:55 +0000 Angie 1759309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had to come and look at gorgeous you and the treats again, Tanya. I just noticed the sleeve ruffles. SO pretty. &nbsp;We are pom pom hat twins too. I just bought this cutie - they match my pretty new gloves.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759308 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 15:14:37 +0000 Anonymous 1759308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice job! I also appreciate your explanation/reminder regarding different fits for outerwear. I need to remember just what you said, "not everything can work with and for everything." Sage advice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759287 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 13:52:17 +0000 Karie 1759287@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look gorgeous, and this was a perfect outfit for all your needs for the day. I also have coats with different fits, and it does get frustrating when I can't wear my bulky sweaters under my simmer fitting coats. </p> <p>The treats look yummy too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759267 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 11:24:04 +0000 Amy Isabella 1759267@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Tanya, you look absolutely amazing: you are an inspiration. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759249 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 07:07:33 +0000 Mirjana 1759249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya you look adorable as always very nice vest and great choker. You baked goodies are super I noticed Bajadere at once, yummy I also like it but didn't make for long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759210 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 02:52:59 +0000 Anonymous 1759210@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya, you look adorable, cozy and stylish, especially for a day that must have been a bear. I so agree on having various fits and weights of coats. When I thought I was replacing my puffer last year, the new one is a bit shorter and do much more fitted that I kept the old one for really cold days and for the fact that I can layer under it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759194 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 01:40:30 +0000 Angie 1759194@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, Tanya. Now I want to make your yummies and eat them right away. My mouth is watering.&nbsp;</p> <p>(LOVE Uniqlo's heattech range. Am wearing now too).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759181 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 00:54:58 +0000 El Cee 1759181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing the recipes, Tanya. They sound absolutely yummy. Can't wait to try them.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759179 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 00:44:07 +0000 Tanya 1759179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bennett, I have worn the vest over the light underlayer too, both cream and blush.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Your suggestion sounds great and I am going to try that as well.&nbsp;&nbsp; I typically do not limit myself to only one or two ways of wearing a certain item, but like to explore lots of options.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Thank you for the cookie love </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759178 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 00:41:45 +0000 Tanya 1759178@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Aww, thank you very much, El Cee and Angie, you are very kind. </p> <p>Angie, you are making me blush.&nbsp;&nbsp; The outfit worked very well, but you provided the inspiration, thank you.&nbsp; I did have thermal under-layers of Uniqlo HeatTech and SmartWool socks, I think those helped a lot.</p> <p>About the treats, the Pecan Praline Blondies are a new to me recipe I tried this year, that people seem to like a lot.&nbsp; They are very sweet, inspired by Southern pralines.&nbsp; I found the recipe on this blog:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://thedomesticrebel.com/2016/09/27/pecan-praline-blondies/">http://thedomesticrebel.com/20.....-blondies/</a><br />The Chocolate Walnut Bars are traditional and beloved&nbsp; sweets from my home country, called<i> Bajadera</i>,&nbsp; that are famous for being very long-lasting: one can keep them out of the fridge for a month or so. Here is a version of the recipe with some fun background, the one I use is a different version I got from my aunt:&nbsp; <a rel="nofollow" href="https://food52.com/recipes/20263-bajadera-nougats">https://food52.com/recipes/20263-bajadera-nougats</a></p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759175 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 00:33:38 +0000 Bennett 1759175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would you ever try the vest over a light top, like in the model photo? I think it shows off the vest more, kind of backlighting it. I could see this with a soft ivory tie-neck V-neck blouse and a stack of gold bangles.....</p> <p>Come on over with that plate of cookies and we'll talk style ..... : ) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759174 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 00:30:41 +0000 Angie 1759174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tell me more about the treats. What did you make? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759173 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 00:28:14 +0000 Angie 1759173@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am WOWED, Tanya. Killer outfit, Killer treats, and coping really well on a very hectic, festive, and freezing day with lots of public transport. AND in today's ensemble outfit! Can I clone you? </p> <p>A big fat YES to having a capsule of coats in a variety of fits, silhouettes, colours, fabrications, lengths and levels of dressiness. I feel the same way and bless my own coat capsule. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759165 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 00:15:13 +0000 El Cee 1759165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable, cozy and plenty festive. And I am drooling over your delicious looking baked goods. Hope you enjoyed your holiday parties.&nbsp;Like you, I own outerwear in different sizes and fits so that I have at least a few options that will fit over bulky toppers.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-129-easy-faux-fur-vest-holiday-baked-goodies#post-1759164 Sat, 10 Dec 2016 00:04:09 +0000 Tanya 1759164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here is a WIW from me after a bit of a break.&nbsp; I have been taking photos of my outfits fairly regularly, I just don't get to post them (super busy at work), so I will try to do some catch-up over the next few weeks.</p> <p>Today's ensemble was absolutely perfect for my hectic day which included: a very early doctor's appointment at a fairly remote office that required&nbsp; lots of public transport and waiting for buses in freezing condition, then a mid-day work holiday parry at work,&nbsp; followed by another, much quicker doctor's appointment, and finished by a second, different work holiday party.&nbsp; Between wanting to stay warm and look somewhat festive at work, the grey-ish BR faux fur vest was the perfect solution.</p> <p>I went for the fairly simple column of black under the vest in the form of AT black merino sweater with ruffle cuffs and black coated WHBM skinny jeans. A little bit of glitz was added by the pewter ET booties, silver MJ watch and velvet-rhinestone choker - chokers are the only type of necklace that does not disappear under the vest as they are&nbsp; worn above the vest. Since it was freezing outside I wore my off-white Uniqlo puffer that is half a size too big in the body and thus perfect for wearing over bulkier items such as the furry best, cream cashmere scarf, cream cashmere beanie with faux fur pom pom and black mot RM hobo.&nbsp;&nbsp; The bag was chosen for functionality to accommodate, among others, carrying of some home baked treats I was bringing to the first holiday party at work, which was a potluck.&nbsp;&nbsp; You can see the sampling of the treats in #3, they are Pecan Praline Blondies and (Eastern European) Chocolate Walnut Bars.</p> <p>I am going to finish this with a note that I find it very useful to own outerwear (wool coats and puffers) in different fits.&nbsp; I prefer fairly tailored and sleek coats/jackets and that is how most of my outerwear pieces are, but a few slightly looser (about half-a- size) coats (in the body, not shoulders) work great for layering over bulky items such as furry vests or leather jackets, and I also have a very fitted wool coat with faux fur that serves to be worn over fancy cocktail dresses for nicer social occasions. I sometimes get frustrated that the latter two categories do not work well with most of my normal outfits,&nbsp; but have to keep reminding myself than not everything can work with and for everything. </p>
