So, if your not afraid to show off even with faux fur then the addition a faux collar is the ticket to taking a plain jumper or dress into the more glam style stakes.
No expense spared and a nice bit of polka dot action to boot from Mr Jacobs.
Marc by Marc Jacobs Cheeky faux fur collar £260 Net-A-Porter
Not strictly faux but lets say with 7 million sheep in Wales compared to 2.5million people no one got hurt in this because a lot worst could happen to a sheep than making a good roast and a stole.
Whistles Sheepskin Stole £75
If you are new to Make Do Style every Monday the Maxi, Midi and Mini post gives you three budgets choices on one garment.
The grey of the *fur* and the navy and white dots have me liking the maxi choice the best. The added whimsy of the ribbon somehow lightens up the gravitas of the piece.
ReplyDeleteI too have been taken to task for wearing a fake fur. "Yes," I answered back," a synthetic fiber lost its life in the making of this faux-fur."
Hi there-really lovely picks, my fave is the Whistles one! x
ReplyDeleteI have the Topshop one, but I intended to customise it, I want a collar rather than a stole. Seeing the other two has made up my mind
ReplyDeleteI of course love the Marc jacobs one for the spots and it looks so soft .. I do wear fur, as long as its old.. I know that does not and should not make a difference but in my silly logic it does ... freudian slip there I just typed dies ..ooh no xx
ReplyDeletethat topshop stole is hot and a bargain too!

I got a brown feathered one in TK Maxx for £10, really love a good stole / collar!
ReplyDeleteFab selection but so easy to make (or revamp). I buy tatty old coats, snip off the collars and attach a ribbon....simples! xxx
ReplyDeleteVintage Vixen - you are so right simples indeed!
ReplyDeleteI'm not even against fur, but these are nice alternatives. In the end I'll do like Vix and put a ribbon on my mum's old detachable leather coat fur collar.
ReplyDeleteDear Kate, great picks as always. I love the Whistles and the Top Shop one. I don't have any in this colour and they really do jazz up a look. I will go into Reiss this week, I'll ask for your friend. Thanks so much for that, it's always worth a try. And I'll get the Waitrose fizz too xx
ReplyDeleteOh I love a faux fur collar!!!!

Yes, I'm totally buying one of these this year. I would love to be as creative as wilderness chic (wonderful DIY) but I'm sure I'll be too lazy!
