My faux fur vest came with a belt, but I prefer to wear it unzipped and unbelted because it looks more casual and less constricting. I changed it up today and wove a black sash through the vest's pre sewn belt loops thanks to (where else?) an image found on Pinterest. Unfortunately my sash was too long for one loop around and just a tad short when looped twice. So as a result... my bow ended up looking a bit sad and droopy.
