Trend Watch Wednesday: Just Say Faux


What Goes Around Comes Around Natalia Jacket, BB Dakota Manderson Leather Jacket, DKNY Jeans Faux Fur Vest


Well heavens to Betsy, it's Wednesday, y'all. Two things:

1. I actually had a good friend/sorority sis in college named Betsy. Her name totally did NOT fit her at all, but the expression "heavens to Betsy" obviously makes me think of her...and smile : )

2. Thank you all for your very sweet comments and emails regarding my hair in the pic from last Saturday's post. I will likely not be dying my hair dark any time soon again, but I appreciate that you think I can bat for both hair teams...muchas gracias, chicas!

Hoo'kay...so, let's talk about faux fur. Love it or loathe it?

True. There is nothing more horrid or cheap-looking than bad fake fur. Nothing says "I work on the street corner" quite like a $10 mink jacket from The Icing.

But nothing says I'm cruel and heartless quite like wearing real fur. So basically it's a lose/lose. Unless you can find legit-looking faux fur.

Hard to do, but it can be done. Lemme show ya'.

  8. favorites are in ALL THE FUR TRIMMINGS section. I have never been a fan of FAUX FUR all OVER jackets or vests although I have seen a few women pull them off with ease. just not my cup of tea. oooo tea sounds so lovely!!

  9. The angel side of me says no to fur... but I have to admit, my mom and I have matching fur coats and we wear them to walk the dogs (ridic, i know) but they are SO warm and amazing that i don't think i could get rid of it. as for much an in and out of style fur vest (which i do love by the way) or something, i couldn't do it. but a timeless long fur coat that i'll have for the rest of my entire life, i think that's okay. yikes, i hope people don't hate me :)

  10. I've been seeing these fur vests, correction - faux fur vests - but I'll be honest, I don't know if I could swing this particular trend. Might be a little to Zsa Zsa for me. I think Rachel Zoe looks good in hers though.

  14. when i was about 6 years old, my parents bought me a (un-faux) fur coat for christmas. i felt so conspicuous in it every time i wore it, and we eventually gave it away. vests however, i could handle! :)

  16. I am 100% YAY so long as it's faux. I own three real fur coats that belonged to my mother. After her passing I couldn't deal with the thought of someone else buying them, so I kept them. They were in our family for years so I had to keep them, but I don't see myself ever wearing them.
