Moody Style: A Little Plaid

I hope that everyone had a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving – I know I did.  I ate way too much this past Thursday and I’ve been eating more than my share of leftovers ever since.  But you know what?  I wouldn’t have it any other way.  Spending the past few days with my family is something I always look forward to throughout the year.  

Did any of you do any shopping this weekend?  Did you shop on Thanksgiving Day or on Black Friday? I did a little shopping on Thanksgiving Day after my family and I went to the movies.  We figured that we would check out some of the deals at the local Walmart since we were already out of the house.  I was able to grab a few deals for myself and I managed to get some Christmas shopping out of the way.  As much as I was against stores opening on Thanksgiving Day, I enjoyed getting some shopping done late in the evening after dinner.  And by the time we made it to the store, the crowds were bad either.  We were in and out of the store pretty quickly.  Let me know what stores you made it over the Black Friday weekend.

Moody Picks – Faux Fur Vest

A fur vest makes a statement on its own, so you really want the rest of your outfit to be understated and balanced to allow the vest to shine.  There are so many style options for a fur vest and some of the best ways to wear it is the simplest.  You can wear a fur vest to work by pairing it with a pencil skirt and blouse or turtleneck. Another way you can wear a fur vest is adding it to a knit sweater, skinny jeans and some leather boots for a casual weekend look. 

A couple of years ago, I was on the hunt for the perfect faux fur vest.  I was pretty happy when I finally found a couple of them that I love. Unfortunately, I’ve only been able to wear them each a few times because of our warm winters here in Florida.  Well, if you’ve been looking for the right faux fur vest, then look no further.  I’ve put together a list below of some great fur vests available at various price points.  Check them out and let me know what you think.

Moody Style: Cold Snap

We are finally getting another cold snap down here in Florida and I’m really looking forward to it.  I’m already planning out my outfits for the rest of the week as I type.  I know for sure that I’ll be pulling out all of my Zara scarves and wearing lots of sweaters.  We're expecting the coldest weather this season where the temperatures are being forecasted to dive into the mid 20s area wide.  This is a big deal for us down here considering today we reached a high of 81 degrees.  It’s crazy how the weather changes so dramatically.
