Vintage Style | Fabulous in Fur
Oh how I love this vintage and modern mix. This little fur jacket, not sure if it’s faux or real, is the perfect fit. I feel a bit awkward when I wear fur during the day because it’s such a bold statement, but Athena Calderone pulls it off beautifully. I want to replicate this look with my cubby little vintage leopard print jacket (I’ll show it to you later this week), but I may need to find a skirt with a hemline that is a wee bit longer. I don’t have the gams that Athena does.
I also love this blend of neutrals. I read somewhere that you shouldn’t mix more than three colors. But this totally breaks that rule and looks fab. Maybe confidence trumps style rules?

I just can not condone fur, even vintage. sorry.
I hear you Patti. What about faux fur?
Oh- that’s fine. In fact I have a lot of it
I have to agree with these ladies. No reason for fur. Can’t support it. Faux fur is great, I’m still torn on whether it promotes fur or is trying to fix the mess with a solution. I like this blog otherwise, though.
I live in far northern Maine. I own a 3/4 length vintage mink coat. It’s gorgeous and has been in the family for 3 generations now.
I personally have no more objection to fur than I do to leather. I wear both for both utilitarian as well as fashion reasons.
I certainly respect the right of others to not wear fur — or leather, for that matter — but am annoyed by those who would dictate the right of others to do so.
Beautiful jacket, Sandra. It becomes you.
Beautiful! I love the color of the jacket, and it almost looks like it could have a hood! Or at least a nice warm big collar to protect your neck against windy days
Would love to see your jacket!
