RUNWAY2YOURWAY: ARE YOU FUR REAL?

   WHETHER REAL OR FAUX,  fur has been gracing the fall runways from Chanel to Dries Von Noten.  Once known to be an upper society statement piece in the pass, fur adds a touch of glamour to any women's closet.  This trend can be seen on such items as the classic jacket to even shoes.  RACHEL ZOE is probably dying seeing everybody rocking fur, since she is one of the pioneers for the revival of fur movement.  (THe following pictutres are from style.com)

WORD TO THE WISE- TIPS on wearing:

-When rocking this trend Ladies, NO H2T (Head-to-toe) fur outfits.  If you do too much fur at once you'll end up looking like a wild beast from the jungle.  Sure CHANEL did the whole H2T look on the runway but in reality the runway looks is meant to inspire.

-My Theory on the trend is one piece at a time

-One way to rock this trend is taking the fur vest and pair it with an everyday outfit like that plain white v-neck tee and a pair dark wide-leg jeans.  You will look ultra-chic and very Rachel Zoe like.

-Another way to use a fur piece, is use it as a topper over a cocktail dress to the black tie evening dress that you where planning to wear.

-ANother outfit idea is take that cropped black fur jacket and pair it with those amazing green cargo skinny pant, grey tank, and those amazing light pink pointy toe pumps.  Now you have a Downtown chic/going out look.
