I just tried on a faux fur vest at JC Penney and felt like Chewbacca, which is worse than one of those cute little Ewoks. *SIGH*</p> <p>I may just check out the local fabric store and design a fitted version that hits at the hipbone. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabulous-or-just-furry#post-443327 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 02:54:36 +0000 Transcona Shannon 443327@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes - it is THAT Jay Manuel. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabulous-or-just-furry#post-443324 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 02:51:32 +0000 Barbara 443324@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Angie - it's a tad long. I do like the color/pattern, but I think fitted and shorter would be better. That model DOES look mad. You're not supposed to smile when you're modeling....</p> <p>LOL about the Ewok comment.</p> <p>Is the designer the same Jay Manuel of America's Next Top Model fame? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabulous-or-just-furry#post-443313 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 02:35:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 443313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG - I just came back from Sears. Had to go and try on the furry vest. Good grief - IT WAS HORRIBLE!!! I looked like an Ewok in it (picture 5'1" and covered in fur!). It was NOT a good look. But I had a good laugh while looking in the mirror and then went and got a skinny pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks...still a good evening.</p> <p>P.S. Maybe the model looked angry in the picture because she too felt like an Ewok and did not want her picture taken! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabulous-or-just-furry#post-443217 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 00:44:39 +0000 JennyAnne 443217@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really want to get a furry vest, but that's not the one I'd personally choose. Maybe it's the very wide shoulders that are throwing off the proportion to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabulous-or-just-furry#post-443213 Thu, 13 Oct 2011 00:40:05 +0000 Anonymous 443213@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been watching a furry vest at Kohl's. It's long like this one but it has knit inserts at the side which breaks up the furriness of it all. Plus it has a sweet chiffon trim around it. The fur nap is quite short so it doesn't feel like you are a wookie in it. And pockets. It has POCKETS! </p> <p><a href="http://www.kohls.com/KOHLS/updated/mastercatalog/vera/womens/PRD~823286/Simply+Vera+Vera+Wang+FauxFur+Vest.jsp" rel="nofollow">http://www.kohls.com/KOHLS/upd.....r+Vest.jsp</a></p> <p>I guess my concerns about it are that it is long....covers the tooshie. And the color is quite warm gray/beige and its not good on me. So its not perfect. But I like that the nap is short so its not so bulky looking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabulous-or-just-furry#post-443138 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 23:08:32 +0000 modgrl 443138@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that the fur is short and streamlined and it is not too fluffy or hairy. I would like to see something shorter for a petite. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabulous-or-just-furry#post-443131 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 22:57:18 +0000 Angie 443131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's a bit long. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabulous-or-just-furry#post-443078 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 21:58:44 +0000 HelenInCanada 443078@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wanting to check out Jay Manuel's line! Personally, I think the vest is fierce and fun - but definitely something to try on first and assess from there. It looks quite long. I can see this as a throw-on piece when the weather gets chillier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabulous-or-just-furry#post-443073 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 21:53:13 +0000 catgirl 443073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it but I think you need to have a tall angular look to pull it off.</p> <p>Or maybe angular and angry? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabulous-or-just-furry#post-443026 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 21:09:54 +0000 missvee 443026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you'd have to try it on. Some of these models are over 6ft and thin as a rail, so it's hard to tell how it's going to look on a real human. It looks a little boxy to me but you never know. It's not screaming out fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabulous-or-just-furry#post-443005 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 20:35:40 +0000 Nakidra 443005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Seriously, why IS she so mad??! :)<br /> Others will have better and more informed opinions, because I'm new to faux fur vest, but it's not really my cup of tea. Again, I'm biased, but it's a bit furry to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fabulous-or-just-furry#post-442997 Wed, 12 Oct 2011 20:12:23 +0000 Transcona Shannon 442997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There's a new line being sold in Canadian Sears (Attitude by Jay Manuel) that I'm kinda liking. I've purchased a pair of dress pants, a dress, a blouse and a tank - the quality and fit are excellent for such budget -friendly items. His faux fur vest just came out and I think I like it. It's different than others I have seen. But maybe I'm losing my mind??? Is it fabulous? Or just furry?</p> <p>(and why does the androgynous model look so angry...maybe she's too hot in the furry vest???) </p>
