The Commentary

Living in LA for the last 33 years has taught me nothing about layering. But my last few trips to New York have. So I was incredibly proud of myself this time when I started out with an outfit like the one above, layered the the down vest with a furry hood over the blazer.

And added a coat and fur scarf.

But not just any fur scarf. A fur bolero that I bought when I was 21. I never wear it because...well...look at it. The proportions just don't work on me. I was kinda delusional in my early 20s.

But as I was packing it caught my eye and I realized I could just loop it through the armholes and get a fabulous neck warmer. Voila.





I swear, THE ENTIRE TRIP, I felt as I deserved a prize for being so genius.

The Inspiration

p.s. I saw my first Isabel Marant graffiti fur in person during my trip

Sadly the sprayed on green jeans with high tops kinda killed it for me
