FUR AROUND MY NECK RE-CREATE, WUW & LINK-UP


Oh my, is this outfit Re-Create a little comical in the making. Of course I found myself another anorexic model to re-create my look. What I loved was all I had to buy for this re-create was six dollar clearance fur snood ( I call it a fur neck wrap) online from Target.
Similar one from Target HERE for $12.


Time for another Two-Fer with this recreate for our Fashion Link-Up with The Blended Blog and ShayMel and Sheaffer for What's Up Wednesday.



 I already had the faux leather leggings, booties, my favorite of all time by Karen Scott and this cute little Cardi that my son's got me for Christmas. I absolutely love the drape of hers, but mine was not big enough to do that and not an asymmetrical front. However, I feel like it got pretty darn close and our sweet youngest son agreed to take these pictures for me on a crazy blustery wind, snowy kind of day. So much so, I couldn't edit it out from the pics.


I truly don't know if I can wear this "snood" on a regular basis as I feel like there is an animal choking me, lol and Gawd.....it's HOT!!!


And so here comes the comical part. After we took these pictures, I threw the snood onto the bed and forgot about it. A few hours later I walked in the bedroom and screamed thinking a cat got in and was taking a nap on the bed. Duh, that stupid snood thingy.




                        Now, time for some What's Up in the Nine neck of the woods......

  2. You are queen of recreating pinterest looks!! I watched the first episode of BLL on HBO (you apparently can stream the first one for free if you don't get HBO -which we dont) and I can already tell that I need to have HBO at least for the length of this season!! Happy Wednesday! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston

  15. You are the best at re-creating looks!!! Haha, oh my goodness, I probably would have jumped too. I get startled easily by things like that. I have a hard time with things close to my neck so I probably wouldn't wear this often either. At least it was a reasonable price and you looked great for the pictures :) Beautifully Candid

  17. What a cute recreate, Andrea! I always love these posts. I have a similar faux fur stole that I have only worn once this winter since it has been so mild for us. I hate to complain because the weather is gorgeous, but I would like to wear it again haha! Happy Wednesday!

  18. I seriously almost spit my coffee over your opening!! You look adorbs with the top knot. I love eating healthy but I am going to have to leave the chips and hot sauce completely out. I can barely fit any of my pants and I'm dreading pulling my shorts out..blah. I'm loving how that dress looks with leggings and I had not once thought to add that scarf. Happy Wednesday!

  19. Girl... I thought that model was you. When I read it, I was like, What model is she talking about? I just see pictures of her... you look EXACTLY like her!!!!

    I want HBO just to see Big Little Lies! Hoping it comes out on Netflix or something later.

  31. Whoa, hey hot mama in her faux leather leggings! Love this on you, so cute. And I think you look better than that model. We are super excited for Chicago Justice to start, which I am assuming the Lawyer that has been on PD lately will be on it. Big Little Lies is going to be awesome too!

  37. Looking super fabulous, as usual, sweet friend! The story of thinking a cat was on your bed totally made my morning! I'm still smiling! lol. Too funny and I'm sure I'd do the same thing! We don't have HBO, but I caught just caught the first episode of Big Little Lies during a free HBO preview weekend and now I'm wishing I could continue to watch ...maybe I should just pick up the book since I was pretty much the only one who hasn't read it yet it seems - lol! I binge watched This is Us up to the current episode while I was sick and wow, I'm so hooked! Fixer Upper is always a great watch too! Thanks for sharing this fun post! *hugs!* xo - Brenda // ChattingOverChocolate.com

  38. Like I always say - you are the ultimate QUEEN of recreating looks!! And we please take a moment to chat about your hair like this? My top knot never turns out this good (whah..). I love the snood and how warm and cozy it looks. It's been freezing here in CA, so I would definitely get some good use out of one right about now! Love this, love you, and hope you have the best weekend, girly! XO
