Fur Vest in Telluride

For our second day in Telluride (see our first day here), I wanted to style this fun fur vest for a day of exploring the town.

When I first picked up this fur vest, I had a plaid button up in mind to wear it with. But for this particular trip, I knew taking a couple tissue turtlenecks would extend my wardrobe farther, since they are the perfect layering piece under sweaters.

So instead, I chose this beautiful dark forest green turtleneck that really made the cognac vest pop. It was an unexpected look that I ended up truly loving!

I paired the dark green top with this perfect pair of black jeans. I love how the darker colors really contrast with the lighter elements of the outfit…while the jean material means the outfit will still be so comfortable and practical for doing lots of walking (and shopping).

Black jeans are my new favorites for wintertime. And while I’ve had this pair for a few years now, it wasn’t until recently that I truly discovered their versatility.

You can pair them with just about any outfit you would blue jeans, but they give each look a whole new vibe. It’s like magic! (the simple kind that takes no effort at all but gives BIG results) And I love it!

For shoes, I paired everything with these over-the-knee boots (last seen here). The heel is a good height, so they feel classy while remaining approachable for someone who likes her comfort.

And the color of these ended up matching my fur vest perfectly.

This particular morning, we enjoyed just walking around the older part of Telluride and venturing into the shops and cafes that were open.

It was especially foggy and moody, and I loved the cozy mountain air all around us.

Some people may not like such damp mornings, but I actually prefer them. It was cool and moist without being overly frigid or uncomfortable. The perfect moody mountain morning.
