Faux Fur

Some are into faux fur. Some are not. I’m what you call one of those faux fur in-betweeners – not fully committed to the cause {ie: owner of a fur hat, fur shawl, fur coat} but not completely shying away from it either. You see, I own two vests. One that gets up in your face in a “Pow! FUR BALL!” kind of way. And one that’s a little more play-it-safe with a dabble of fur just on the top.

Over the few seasons that I’ve owned them, I’ve tried a couple different layering techniques that I thought I’d share with you. Just in case you want to try it with your own faux fur. Or maybe jump start your incentive to go out and get a little fur ball of your own. Because ladies, one thing’s for sure – it’s here for the season. And it’s here to stay.

1. Layer your faux fur look! With scarves, hats, or multiple sweaters if you’d like. You’ll look bundled and fuzzy. Maybe you’ll even convince yourself to go into hibernation for a few weeks hours

2. Surprise! You can wear fur with a more summery look too! A pair of dark, flared jeans keeps it polished while you let your colorful, breezy top keep it light and cool

3. Pair your faux fur with a floral print to keep your look feminine and flirty. For more “flirty” … subtract the bump. That look gives you more of a “Keep away. Far far away” feel.

4. Plaid! To keep this look from getting wa-aay to western-y, I like to polish it up a bit by buttoning the collar all the way up and pairing it with simple accessories – like a gold boyfriend watch. 5. And finally, try wearing your faux fur with a skirt! To keep this looks simple and chic, I kept the color scheme very streamlined with blacks and browns only.

So what say you? You ready to get your fur ball on this season?
