Mallory's turn. Now you- being the savvy blog followers that you undoubtedly are- probably already know this, but fur had a big presence during fashion week for fall 2010 and transitioning into winter. Lots of designers (think Lanvin, Roberto Cavalli, Marc Jacobs) sent fur-clad models down their runways, and I've got to say I couldn't be happier about it. Fur is classic in the way that only pearls, Jackie O and Chanel could be. That said, not every look we saw from these designers would necessarily be appropriate to wear to the office... or anywhere for that matter...
One even had a dress embellished with what looked like human fur, er, hair-
Joking aside, they've actually made it easy on us in that there are plenty of wearable pieces available out there. Even the most skeptical fashionista (or fashionisto?) could find something that she (or he!) could feel comfortable sporting. One great way to ease into the trend is to carry a fur adorned bag. You can get the swanky look without too much risk.
If you're feeling a little more daring, opt for a vest or coat. Either can completely change the feel of an outfit. A simple, girly dress becomes a luxe dinner ensemble with the addition of boots and a fur coat. A fur vest and some necklaces can transform a tee and jeans into a pulled together look. Not to mention these pieces will keep the warm in and the cold out! You can bet that a mink vest (a gift from when I was a child, does that make it vintage?) is going to be part of my Thanksgiving 2010 ensemble!
Now I probably should have come to this earlier, but because not everyone is comfortable wearing actual fur, there are boundless options in faux. You haven't been left out, vegans! Now to those of you who think artificual fur looks a little garish, I present this challenge: Tell me which of two vests below is faux and which is real.
You can't tell, can you? Sorry, but that's information I'm not going to disclose. Happy shopping!
