What I Want to Wear... to a Bonfire

This outfit makes me yearn for chillier temps, changing leaves and a bonfire.

{J.CREW}

As usual, the genii (that's the 3 syllable plural form of "genius" for those of you wondering... I warned you there would be more vocabulary lessons) over at J.Crew have inspired me.  This outfit is one for the books and hopefully my closet. 

I love the mix of textures (fur vest, cable knit gloves, patent leather shoes).  I love the toned down palette.  I love that vacant, far-off stare the model has going on.  I still haven't figured out how to achieve that AND look pretty.  Where is Tyra Banks when I need her?  I'm sure she'd explain exactly how SHE does it PERFECTLY, tell me I had to "smile with my eyes," and then explain again how she does it PERFECTLY.  And always has.  And didn't need to be taught.  Because she's Tyra.  Ya, on second thought, maybe I don't need her after all.

Shopping List to Achieve the Look:

1. Slim lined, neutral (black or gray) turtle neck

2. Dark wash skinny Jeans 

3. Fuzzy Vest

4. Patent Leather Oxfords

5. Fingerless, gray cable knit up to the elbow gloves

So, I'm more than half way there. 

If you don't count that dang, vacant, far-off stare.

Thanks for making my first week such a blast!  Have a fantabulous weekend, lovelies.

Before you go though, tell me...

Would you wear a fuzzy (maybe even fur) vest like the one pictured?
