I was in Chicago last weekend and my soon-to-be-daughter-in-law pointed to a woman who was wearing the most beautiful, green, dyed fox jacket and we both envied it (we were actually green with envy…ha). It was gorgeous. So, I immediately went online only to find that anything like that was in the thousands of dollars. And, honestly, I would feel guilty making a fox die for me to dye him green. So, I kept shopping online until I found this! I asked my daughter to put it on for the photo below because she is so much cuter in it than I am! I started wearing it yesterday as the temperature dropped and the compliments have not stopped. I bought my faux fur jacket on Asos and the cost… about $75! Looks way more expensive, right?
Not only do I love it, but, it is me (and, now my daughter). It is something I will wear over and over, while I have friends who wouldn’t be caught dead in a green furry jacket. That’s OK… it is my style. As soon as it arrived I fell in love. I know that it will look as good with my QVC jeans and one of my pairs of booties from Target, as it will with black leggings and a pair of Stuart Weitzman over-the-knee boots. That’s me. I am an equal opportunity shopper. I don’t judge by the color of the price tag!
The Moral of the Story
Yes, the moral of the story is to figure out your own style and look for pieces that fit that style, no matter what the price. Think about the clothes that make you feel most comfortable when you walk into a room. The pieces in which you feel confident. Because feeling confident is really what style is all about. When you feel like you look your best when walking into a room, you have found your style. Whether you find pieces at T.J. Maxx or Barney’s, make sure they fit your style profile and, you can get good wear from them, and you can’t go wrong.
