I DO MY LITTLE TURN ON THE CATWALK

I'm a model.  Isn't it obvious?  No?  Well, nevertheless, I was thrilled when Caroline Berggman of Posh PR asked me to model in a pop-up fashion show as part of Stony Point Fashion Park's community outreach.  This show, which was held at the Country Club of Virginia, was just one in a series of shows modeling the latest fashions and trends from Stony Point's retail stores.  The looks featured at this particular show were from Cynthia Steele, Tiffany and Co., and Anthropologie.  I got to wear this gorgeous Anthro party dress!

While I wanted to tackle all of the models and steal their looks, there was one look, in particular, that caught my eye.  The Garden Glimmer Skirt (sold out for now):

Paired with the Artio Faux-Fur Vest (now on sale, of course):

I really love the back of this vest, which sets it apart from so many fur vests we're seeing this year.  I felt like this look was youthful, but age-appropriate, and it just felt like "me."  So...

I got it!  I had tried the vest a couple of times, but I never wanted to take the plunge.  Paired with this skirt (and knowing I could use it for a ton of other looks), I decided it was worth it.  The skirt, thankfully, was part of Anthropologie's big post-Christmas sale.  They had one left in the Stony Point store, in my size!  The colors and material make it a year-round skirt, and I'm already thinking of ways I can wear it when the weather warms up.

I really love this whole look, but I need your help.  Do you like it better with the black sweater untucked (like above), or tucked in?
