Faux-fur & camel.




[The Limited pantsfaux-fur cardigan, and bracelet // Betsey Johnson earrings // Fossil watch // Target heels]

I'm pretty much obsessed with this new cardigan that came out last week. The faux fur is so soft and all I want to do is pet myself when I wear this. Is that weird? One of the best parts about it is that you can unbutton the faux fur collar and have a regular cream cardi! I didn't think I was a faux fur kinda gal for awhile, until I found a faux fur vest on sale at Nordstrom last winter. It was the perfect color, not a shaggy, hairy faux-fur (not my fav), and had a knit back. I bought it and wore it five thousand times. I love it, and thus my love of faux fur (if it has the right look and feel to it) began. There's something so glamorous about it. Maybe it's because of all of the Blackglama ads with all of these fabulous and famous women (and men..... some opera singers! Luciano Pavarotti...) wearing fur (the real kind) and being impossibly beautiful and chic. Whatever the case, when I wear faux fur, I feel freakin' fabulous. And I feel like I kinda stick out like a sore thumb, since I live in Decatur. It's all for "glama" right?

Even though the day I wore this outfit was the start of our unseasonably warm weather this week (the last of it, I think), I paired this wonderfully warm and comfy sweater with my favorite camel colored pants. Also another obsession of mine. They came in the Cassidy fit, which isn't my normal fit in pants at The Limited, but I tried them on and loved them and have probably worn them a million times. The color is perfect for fall, but it's also a welcome break from khaki pants, something of which I am not particularly a fan. They literally go with everything, and I feel so profesh when I wear them. It's always been hard for me to find great fitting slacks, but since working at The Limited, I have no trouble. Our pants are bomb.

But now it's Friday, and the streak of warm weather is gone. The high is in the 50s today, my friends, but I'm excited, because that means it is officially fall, and I can wear my new pea coat! It's the little things that make me happiest :)

Happy Friday!

Oh, and here's a few of those ads for ya....
