I reeeeeally want a fur vest.
There. I've said it.
Let me first defend myself from all of you who are now judging me. (And to those of you who are like "Okay, Bitch. I have one." I'm sorry, no offense.) I was just like you. I looked at fur vest wearing girls with my eyes narrowed and a face scrunched up like I was smelling fresh doo-doo. After all, what is the purpose of a fluffy dead animal pelt on your back with no sleeves? It's sort of like a sleeveless turtleneck; what purpose does it serve? Is your neck cold and your arms hot? I just didn't get it. (FYI, I still don't understand sleeveless turtlenecks, though admittedly, I rocked them until about 5 years back.)
Then, while crusing through the Melrose Trading Post (a must if you've never been) on a cold and rainy Sunday with my bestie, I started trying on vintage fur coats. I was like Goldylocks trying the porridge. In the first I was much too warm, the second I was too cold - and then I slipped my arms through a fur vest (more as a joke to get a laugh out of my bestie than anything). And behold! The perfect piece for a "not too hot, not too cold" feeling. I was snuggly and warm, yet didn't feel overwhelmed and sweaty from a huge coat. After looking in the mirror, I liked it even more.
Apparently, the girls I was laughing at were having the last laugh. These things kick ass for SoCal winter weather. I didn't buy said fur vest because I don't even have enough money to be breathing the air in LA these days, but plan on scooping one up ASAP. So, try one out if you're a naysayer. You just might fall in love.
One to drool over:
One to actually buy so you can pay rent:
