FURRRRR….

So how many of you have seen the latest fashion magazine covers doused with images of fur coats, sweaters, scarves and even hats? And how many of you are thinking “I absolutely MUST have one?” My guess would be, not many. Though this style looks absolutely fabulous on the runways and donning the red carpet, it is a bit impractical for the greater majority of us who spend the day in the office. Now, not to say this fad won’t be HUGE, it just might not be one of those “splurges” you should spend half this month’s salary on. If you’re itching to rock this chic trend, but don’t have the cajones to do so at work, the key is to make it simple and wearable. Trends are supposed to be fun, not taken too seriously. While a floor length fur coat is definitely not appropriate for the office, pairing your trusty winter trench with a fur scarf might be just enough to get noticed. Every fashion trend, no matter how unrealistic it may seem, can be translated into something wearable for everyone. Real fur might be out of the question considering the price tags are often upward of $2000, but just like every fad, there are many alternatives for you price-conscious divas. Meaning…Faux fur is the way to go---and unless you’ve grown up in Paris Hilton’s penthouse you probably won’t be able to tell the difference. It’s warm and cozy and it makes you feel like a million bucks, who cares if it didn’t cost you an arm & a leg. Stores like Bebe, Arden B, Nordstrom and even Bloomies will have more than enough fur for your liking. Look for fur-trimmed coats, sweaters, shoes and accessories. You definitely don’t need to overdo this glamour trend--simple chic all the way! Also another quick note, this trend should not be limited to evening galas and cocktail parties. As with most trends this season, dressing up is definitely the style. So, get ready for the rain and snow girls….winter’s almost here and it’s time to stock those closets!
