Thanks, everybody! The weather cooled off enough last night that I took the tags off the fur vest and popped it over a Hinge flowy blouse, Paige skinnies, and my black moto boots for an impromptu dinner out with my sweetie. He loved the vest (called it "very rock'n'roll" which is one of our benchmarks for style!) and I felt great wearing it. I didn't see anyone else sporting one in these parts yet, but Annapolis is quite traditional -- I'll more likely spot this trend when I'm in Baltimore.
The shearling is still in the closet with tags on. I may feel compelled to wear it on a more casual day, perhaps with a thicker layer underneath. If it doesn't grab me, it'll go back to Nordies.
