I was inspired by one of my readers to write about faux fur, vests, coats, you name it. I have been dying to get my hands on a good quality faux fur piece for a long time, but seems like thrift stores don’t carry too many of those, so looks like I am going to have to splurge on that!

Faux fur vests are also very in this fall. They go well with everything – jeans, skirts, dresses. Plus when it’s high quality, it is usually nice to the touch, and who doesn’t want to wear something that’s also soft and cuddly, and a fashion statement at the same time? I am telling you ladies, it’s all better than a fleece jacket!

In the picture on the left you see two of my favorite fall trends combined – polka dots and fur vest (it’s faux, so that makes it eco friendly )

Sometimes, when you are not sure about the whole vest thing, and want to stay on the safe side – go with a collar, like this one on the right.

Shorter vests are a great option too – and trust me, they look good not only on blondes!

Great faux fur jackets are always an amazing find – check out this cheetah print one from Nordstrom!

It’s always amazing to come across a jacket with a faux fur collar, so if you score one – take good care of it and it will last you many many years.

Just remember – some faux furs aren’t meant to be! It’s not okay to be wearing faux fur boots (I remember them being popular in Russia back in 2003/2004). Nothing and no one will advocate for you if you are walking around with “animal” feet! You are not a yeti!

So remember, don’t go over the top with all the faux, and if you want, sometimes there is room for real fur!
