Before anyone starts in about animal furs, I want t to let you know right up front that all the fur you see to you left is artificial fur! The manufacturing process today is so good that most of the "fur" is so luxurious it feels as good as the real thing, and actually wears a whole lot better, and does not have the care or the expense ( I remember when women had to pay a refrigeration service to keep the furs cool in summer).
Notice that I have three different fluffy fur collars; one in black, one in greyish-white, and one in a lovely cocoa brown. I plan of wearing them with sweaters and blazers this fall.
To the left I found a golden beige that I spiked with black, crimson, and a royal blue (doesn't show up too well in the picture), Of special note are the colorful furs of fall dyed in wild colors that present a whimsical carnival atmosphere.
To your left you see the reproduction white fur clutch shown on the runway this spring. I was able to create my own version for far less money . The purse I got on sale at DSW. Including the cost of the fabric dye, I spent less than $20.00 for my own take on this fall/winter fashion. I plan on wearing it with my white quilted parka...of course, I have not tried on these ensembles yet, but that is my plan (It is too darned hot to try these outfits on now, and you know I am behind on my styling....but, at least I can show you what I have in mind...)
You will also see two of the combinations I wore this last winter, They transition beautifully into 2016 fashion. I will "tweak" the looks by exchanging the turban for a Basque army beret (larger then the French classic) and the Greek sailor cap for the classic beret. I will also exchange the moto boots for ankle boots but the rest of the outfits will remain the same. Both these looks will continue to get a lot of wear this fall; my favorite kind of outfit; comfortable, flattering, can be worn almost anywhere (and are), practical, and economical...what more can I ask?
