I went to a thrift store today and ended up finding two fur coats I liked, both affordable. The first is a wolf fur. It´s knee length and has a slim fit and a very classic look. The second is a brown Persian lambs fur coat. It has a more vintage look with an A-line shape that is very right at the moment. The first is about $125 and the second about $80. I asked them to put the coats aside for me while I decide. I´ve always wanted a fur coat, but then again I don´t really need one. What do you think? None, one or both? I´m afraid the first looks too butch and the second will get old too fast. I wish I had pictures.

When it comes to the whole to fur or not to fur question, I don´t have a good reason why I shouldn´t buy the lambs fur coat since I do eat lamb and I think it´s better to use the whole animal than to throw away half of it. I know little about wolf fur and whether it´s part of a fur industry nasty kind of thing or whether these were happy wild wolfs. I was kind of unprepared for this discussion cause I have always thought by myself that secondhand fur is OK and that my boyfriend shared my thoughts. He was with me when I looked at these and he said he thought it was kind of nasty to wear fur, but that he thought the wolf fur was the nicest. I don´t really want to turn this into a fur discussion since it´s kind of a sensitive matter an we all probably have different opinions, but I found myself having to deal with the question in a different way than expected.

I am in love with oxfords these days. Unfortunately the weather keeps me from wearing mine since they have leather soles and it´s wet outside most of the time. So I got a little jealous today when my boyfriend bought a pair of gorgeous patent leather oxfords from Bianco. All leather but with rubber soles. I told him that if they had sold them in a women´s version I would have gotten them as well. Suddenly he´s starting to wind up with a bunch of things I want. He has more designer items than I have and he never even looks for them! And now he has the shoes of my dreams.

The blazer will continue being a useful garment well into spring, and as seen on these photos it works for a ton of different looks. One thing common for most of the looks thouh is that what you wear with it is short. If you haven´t already got one I suggest tracking down one on sale. I´ve seen several of them around at a low price. I posted a picture a while ago of a girl wearing a blazer in a very inventive way. I didn´t think I had what I needed for recreating such a look cause in my mind I only had one blazer. I had a look inside my closet and I counted seven blazers. I need to become more creative when it comes to this garment. I also need to get to know my closet better.
