Wearing The Faux Fur Collar

After I published last week's tutorial for the faux fur collar, a number of you asked to see me in the collar as well as the coat. Since I wore the coat today, it made taking pictures easy. The collar, by the way, is wonderful to wear. It kept my neck nice and warm, so I'm very happy:)

The coat has a swing back, so a rather vintage look. It works with so many outfits. Since it's short, it's not the best coat when I need to do a lot of walking around in the cold, but when I'm going from the house to the car and the car to whatever my destination is, it's a great little coat.

I made everything I'm wearing except for my gloves, shoes and hose. You can find the collar tutorial HERE. The dress I'm wearing is from THIS Fabulous Free Pattern Friday post.
Hope you've had a wonderful start to your week.
Not that I'm complaining, as I know that all of you out east have had a much worse winter than we have in Chicago, but this does give you an idea of how much snow we have.
