Outfit of the Day: Faux Fur Vest and an Impromptu Hike

We were out this past Saturday and decided to do something a little different and go to this local park. It  had tons of trails, a river, railroad tracks and fallen leaves everywhere; it was so pretty and quaint and the view was amazing.

Even though I wasn't dressed for the little hiking adventure that we ended up on, I still enjoyed wearing this outfit! I wore my favorite black skinny pants and animal print top that I wear way too much (shhh...)

I also wore this faux fur vest that I got from Forever 21 last year on sale. I was a little hesitant about it at first because it's a little out there for me, but I figured that since it was black it was low-key enough for me to try to pull off. I'm so glad that I bought it because it's one of my favorite fall/winter pieces now :) I especially love the leather strap that goes around it because tying it in a bow makes it so feminine and to contrast that, my boots are a riding style and add a bit of rugged-ness to the outfit.

It was so windy! Haha, my hair was going crazy :)

I also changed up my lip combination and wore a mauve lipstick by Maybelline called 445 On the Mauve and an Estee Lauder lipgloss called Orchid Passion, which I Instagrammed about that morning because I was proud of myself for mixing it up!

The inspiration behind this outfit came from this Pinterest picture. I know that not everyone likes animal print, and I can't say that I've ever been a big fan. The only item I own that has animal print on it is this shirt and I think that because the colors are muted, it makes it look classy and put-together, even by itself. I loved the combination of the animal print shirt with the black vest that this girl is wearing so that's why I decided to give it a go!
