Yesterday I was out shopping and found a vest very similar to number two but in a soft camel color. I carried it around the store while thinking about it. In the half hour or so I had it, my black pants ended up covered in off-white fluff. I put it back as soon as I noticed what had happened. It was a definite downside.</p> <p>I'm glad you kept the faux fur one. It looks great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest/page/2#post-434481 Sat, 01 Oct 2011 13:02:08 +0000 Debora 434481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! So happy you are keeping the fur vest! It looks amazing on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest/page/2#post-434479 Sat, 01 Oct 2011 12:51:22 +0000 Janet 434479@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everybody! The weather cooled off enough last night that I took the tags off the fur vest and popped it over a Hinge flowy blouse, Paige skinnies, and my black moto boots for an impromptu dinner out with my sweetie. He loved the vest (called it "very rock'n'roll" which is one of our benchmarks for style!) and I felt great wearing it. I didn't see anyone else sporting one in these parts yet, but Annapolis is quite traditional -- I'll more likely spot this trend when I'm in Baltimore.</p> <p>The shearling is still in the closet with tags on. I may feel compelled to wear it on a more casual day, perhaps with a thicker layer underneath. If it doesn't grab me, it'll go back to Nordies. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest/page/2#post-434438 Sat, 01 Oct 2011 04:38:16 +0000 Kyle 434438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay.

But if it doesn't fit... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-434100 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 19:33:35 +0000 Sarah 434100@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it looks like you got a lot of replies. i like faux fur! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-434044 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 17:55:22 +0000 goldenpig 434044@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, my turn to be a bad influence on you...keep both!!! You look great in both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-434034 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 17:28:48 +0000 san 434034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one is so beautiful on you.<br /> I'd say keep the shearling if you want a more casual vest for shooting photos in gardens, but definately keep the grey faux fur too because the fit is perfect and it's so good looking on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-434010 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 16:46:12 +0000 Janet 434010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GP, I embrace my "bad influence" title, thanks! ;-)</p> <p>I love that vest, and I eyed that dress too. It's very boho but in a really appealing way! Please post pics when they arrive! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433935 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 15:06:44 +0000 goldenpig 433935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet, can I just tell you what a bad influence you are? ;-)<br /> I took the plunge and am going to try to make room in my closet for both fur and shearling vests!<br /> I just ordered this faux fur vest:<br /> Sanctuary "Rockin Natalie" Faux Fur Vest<br /> <a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/sanctuary-rockin-natalie-faux-fur-vest/3183458?origin=category&#038;resultback=560" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/sa.....ltback=560</a><br /> It's on sale at Nordstrom Rack (so happy Jonesy told me the Rack is online!).<br /> I also ordered the matching dress which is also on sale. I tried both on at the Anniversary sale but I didn't buy them because I felt like they were too costumey ('70's boho). But now that I've gone through all these changes, I feel like I might have the confidence to pull it off so I'm giving them a second chance. Besides, how can I resist something called "Rockin' Natalie"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433911 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 14:21:15 +0000 morethanbeige 433911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No 1 is very cute and gets my vote. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433770 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 06:22:05 +0000 CocoLion 433770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one is a knockout on knockout you!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433765 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 05:57:45 +0000 catgirl 433765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one for sure. I tried the other one at NAS and the shedding was more than I could take, plus the first is far more fun, fab and flattering on gorgeous you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433728 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 03:49:42 +0000 Carole 433728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No 1 like by a million %.

I have both fur and shearling and they are so versatile!!! Remember, soon it will be Brrrrrrtimore! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433702 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 03:13:45 +0000 Anonymous 433702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another Yay for the first one on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433662 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 01:51:26 +0000 Sylvia 433662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Much prefer the first one. The line is not broken so much by the white colour and it looks hip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433661 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 01:50:56 +0000 Aida 433661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the furry vest over the shearling for you Janet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433637 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 01:28:48 +0000 Nakidra 433637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the fur vest. It's a good color and will look amazing with a variety of different outfits. The INC could work with your lifestyle as well. It is a little big, but you could make it work. Keep the first one for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433628 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 01:23:18 +0000 goldenpig 433628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It sounds like the fur vest is more your style. It definitely makes more of a statement! So I would definitely keep that. The only question is whether there are occasions that you would want the shearling vest and the fur vest would be too dressed up. If not, just go with the fur and return the shearling! But if you decide to keep both, let me know and maybe I'll have an excuse to buy a fur vest too! ;-)</p> <p>One other thing I just thought about--what is your environment...how dressed up are others around you? I already feel kind of dressed up in my shearling vest, I'm sure I'd feel even more out of place in fur (at least, it would take me a while to get used to it). What kind of persona are you trying to project? The first picture says to me: artsy, cool, rocker, sophisticated. The second picture says: still stylish but more friendly, down to earth, approachable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433585 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:43:21 +0000 Vicki 433585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>omg...Yay! on the gray! I love it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433584 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:42:35 +0000 taylor 433584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>INC-a-dink </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433583 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:41:56 +0000 Janet 433583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, gp, you're helping me think through this pretty thoroughly. </p> <p>I could certainly keep both. They both still have tags on, and even though I've done a lot of shopping lately, I haven't drained our checking account... yet. I'm just wondering if it's worth keeping both. </p> <p>Thanks for the input, ladies! Keep the opinions coming! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433580 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:35:20 +0000 goldenpig 433580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, with that additional background, and as much as I like the shearling vest, I think if you're going for artsy, rock &amp; roll vibe then it's going to have to be the faux fur, if you can only keep one! I don't know how warm the fur vest is going to keep you, though. It looks like it's part fur and part something else? I like the shearling one because it's nice and warm and comfy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433575 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:28:01 +0000 Janet 433575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>GP, as a bit of background, I'm not exactly a MOTG, but I share some of the "casual" concern of the MOTG lifestyle. I'm an artist (and now occasional radio announcer), so some days I'm very casual, out shooting photos in places like botanical gardens and junkyards and abandoned railroad cars... and then some days I'm working in my studio in a historic clock tower in downtown Baltimore. Some days I'm meeting with customers/clients, art buyers, or gallery reps, so I can do pretty much anything in the polished casual - artsy - eclectic range. I connect with a rock'n'roll vibe, while still trying to stay age appropriate for being 46. </p> <p>I envision wearing this for casual and slightly dressier days when I plan to or may be running into other creatives and buyers, and for going out for dinner with friends, etc. I would like to have a vest that would work well with not only jeans and tops but also dresses and boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433569 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:19:03 +0000 Allison 433569@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one is more flattering and makes more of a statement. The fact that the second one doesn't fit right and sheds would make me say bye bye to it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433563 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:08:58 +0000 goldenpig 433563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, the shearling vest is more casual. It's kind of like a stylish version of my REI fleece jacket. I feel like I could wear it more often for my MOTG outings. The faux fur vest might be too fancy...I'm worried it might look like I'm trying to be too hard to be trendy. Hmmm...still pondering if there's room in my closet for a furry pet. What situations do you envision wearing the vest(s) in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433556 Fri, 30 Sep 2011 00:01:09 +0000 Janet 433556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't worn either of them yet. Both still have tags on, and the weather's been too warm here to consider it yet! However, I may have the opportunity this weekend, as it's going to cool off. Yay!</p> <p>I do think the two styles are not necessarily redundant. The shearling is much sportier. I feel like the fur can be dressed up or down more successfully. </p> <p>I think the shedding is lessening, as I've tried on the shearling vest a few times, I've noticed fewer pieces falling out. Maybe just a matter of the fact that it came straight from a plastic package in a box to my door, it never hung in a store. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vest-vs-faux-shearling-vest#post-433551 Thu, 29 Sep 2011 23:58:34 +0000 Deborah 433551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first one. Flattering on a number of levels </p>
