Hey Afrofusioners!
So, the weather this past week has been crazy! I didn't know whether to wear a Winter jacket, a Spring jacket or any jacket at all. This shows you how much the weather has been fluctuating lately.
For my looks this week, I wore some fun winter looks that are perfect for those days when the winter weather is unexpectedly warmer than usual....

| Sweater Dress: Forever 21 |
Who say's you can't wear a dress during the winter? Sweater dresses are very much a stylish option during the winter months and this button-up sweater dress I picked up from Forever 21 has become my favourite piece within my winter wardrobe. I was lovin' it so much that I got it in all 3 colours! In addition to this grey, it also comes in beige and black.

I especially love the side slits detail in the dress which adds a nice flirty element to this look. From the front it looks like a simple sweater and then you hit 'em with the side slit like POW! lol.
For accessories, I added a thin wrap-around tasseled leather belt which added a nice dressy touch to the look. Furthermore, I opted for silver and black jewelry to keep everything neutral. Finally, I wore a pair of lace-up black booties to finish off the look. Knee-high black boots would also work as n alternative.

| Necklace: Vince Camuto / Bracelet: Suzy Shier / Watch: Kenneth Cole |
This is a great look for a night out on the town and can also be dressed down my adding tights and a flat heeled bootie.

This week I also felt like rocking my fur vest I picked up from Aldo accessories a while back. Yes, Aldo sells fur vests! I was surprised to find this item in the store as well, however, I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked it.
Fur vests for me are very difficult to shop as a find that a lot of styles make me look bigger, especially since I have a larger chest. In addition, some fur vest are to puffy or the faux fur style looks bit messy. However, when I came across this particular vest, I felt I had finally found one that would work for me. Although, I feel like the fur still adds a little bit more to my size, I still think its cute an am making it work!

In putting this look together, I decided to maintain a dark brown/chocolate toned aesthetic. To pair with my vest, I thought wearing a leather skirt with thigh high boots would work well. Furthermore, as this is a winter look, I pulled out my trusty turtleneck sweater in dark brown to finish off this look. Again, I kept my accessories simple by adding a long gold pendant necklace. As I mentioned in my
previous OOTD post that included a turtleneck sweater, they work well with all necklace lengths, therefore this time around I wanted to us a longer length to show its versatility.
