You get the feeling, which is pretty soft and swell, of the faux fur without the bulk. Mine is from BCCG and I think it'll last far longer than any trend (or at least I hope so!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-485365 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 19:56:27 +0000 catgirl 485365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know, it's awful - ignore the Kar-TRASH-ian factor and just look at the item if you can! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-485269 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 17:19:39 +0000 Jonesy 485269@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are very tricky in general, I think. I love the idea of a cropped one on you, but I also think this one looks pretty darn good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-485179 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 16:08:26 +0000 nicoleb 485179@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha! I am so glad i am not the only one noticing how C-U-T-E the little girls section of Target has gotten recently! First it was maternity that had better stuff than the women's section and now it's small girls. Not. Fair. ;)</p> <p>I happen to know the exact vest from the Vera Wang Kohls line you are talking about. I wanted to order it when i was buying some shoes from her collection but 1. it was sold out in everything except for large 2. that line seems to run rather big on me so i wasn't sure i how an extra small would be. Maybe i'll be able to track it down in store and try on. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-485171 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 15:58:25 +0000 jwomack 485171@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know I have been shopping forever for one. I loved the little girl ones from Target too as they were so cute -- but I could never find one similar in an adult size. (BTW, my 6 year old has the Target one and looks so stinking cute!). I feel like some are way too fluffy and some have huge collars or are too long. I finally found one I liked and at all places, Kohls. The Vera Wang collection vest worked and it was on sale (plus coupons). Flat fur front -- not too big collar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-485139 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 15:29:55 +0000 nicoleb 485139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First off thanks to everyone who says it looks good, i'm not ignoring your comments and i appreciate your support. I feel like Mochi hit it right on the nose, i feel like this vest overwhelming me. I think it's both the collar and the pockets that jut out a bit. </p> <p>Una - omg a Kardashian piece lol? I might have to cut the tag out haha...but i am interested, i'll have to see if i can find this in stores.</p> <p>Aida - thanks, i think i am going to start trying one size smaller like you suggest. I think most jackets/vest etc that i don't plan to close usually end up fitting better when i wear one size smaller anyway. I need to remember this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484985 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 03:04:01 +0000 Raz 484985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, I think it looks great on you. You have a gorgeous figure and can totally get away with wearing a wooly vest without looking mammoth. </p> <p>You have slim pants on in this photo which may make you feel top heavy. What about trying it with a bit of a flared jean, This may balance the look more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484963 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 02:13:41 +0000 Aida 484963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Another vote for you to try a cropped one (first thing that popped into mind), or if you manage to find one with some shaping that will work as well. Personally, I say eschew the idea that it needs to be snap/tie/whatever shut and just buy it in a snugger, smaller size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484897 Sat, 10 Dec 2011 00:14:24 +0000 catgirl 484897@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nicole, you really need to try a cropped one. You are definitely a prime candidate for the cuteness factor of a furry vest. Check F21 or even Sears, where they have the Kardashian line. I spotted one there in black that was very cropped and would be adorable on you.</p> <p><a href="http://www.sears.com/kardashian-kollection-women-s-cropped-fur-vest/p-007E1285000P" rel="nofollow">http://www.sears.com/kardashia.....7E1285000P</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484781 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:51:11 +0000 Mochi 484781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I honestly think it's too big (or maybe too long) for you and overwhelms your body or throws off the proportions or something. It's also a look that frankly, I'm surprised there are any people out there who can make it work. I still think it's cute on you and if you like it, go for it...just don't feel bad about not thinking it's your look, because you wouldn't be in the minority! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484778 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:46:11 +0000 HelenInCanada 484778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, it's really dramatic. This is definitely a fun statement kind of piece, not something you wear to be invisible. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484774 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:41:15 +0000 Isabel 484774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it is because this season's fur vests ARE very "mammothy". In the past, it has been more short-hair fur. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484765 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 21:34:10 +0000 CocoLion 484765@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like this one on you, volume just needs some getting used to. I think this is also the perfect length, and love how you're wearing it in the picture.</p> <p>You can try a more cropped length, but again, I think this one is perfect. I also like the collar as it is open. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484728 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:53:31 +0000 nicoleb 484728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lori - not silly, I love it! This past summer I wanted a denim vest very badly and I ended up turning a little girls denim jacket into one. Cropped and fit me across the shoulders, yay! </p> <p>Sara - I actually do have a faux fur stole! Thanks for reminding me; I need to wear it!</p> <p>Janet - sounds like I need to go check out Macy's.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484721 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:42:59 +0000 Janet 484721@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you don't *look* like one! I think this looks great, but it definitely requires a little getting used to the feel of it. I like the one I have (from Macys) because it's not fur all the way around -- the fur only goes around the neck and down the front of the vest, so the line is a bit sleeker.</p> <p>I bet a cropped one would look terrific on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484717 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 20:38:58 +0000 Sara L. 484717@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could try a faux fur scarf or stole instead. You still get the fun fur without the bulk. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484601 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 18:17:13 +0000 Lori 484601@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I feel the same way Nicole. I love the vests on everyone, I love the idea of them, but haven't found one that I truly love on. The closest I've come is a little girls XL at Target from that new Rocky &amp; CeCe line. Silly, but it fit better than any of the adult sizes I've tried. I didn't purchase though, b/c I still felt it was a bit too bulky for my petite frame. I want one, I just want it to be the right one. I also saw a very pretty cropped one at Macy's but it was like $70 which was a bit too steep for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484592 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 18:09:57 +0000 JennyAnne 484592@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I this it looks great on you! Not too wooly at all. I'd love to try one but would feel silly investing in one in FL. I'm on the lookout for a good price on one for winter vacations and the odd cold day here. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484588 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 18:05:31 +0000 Gaye 484588@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I know exactly what you mean, I feel like an amercian football player in the ones i have tried LOL. Maybe try a cropped/collarless one, you may feel less bulky. Though you do look fine in that one </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484556 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:49:08 +0000 modgrl 484556@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it!! As long as you keep the rest of the outfit sleek, I think you could totally make this work. </p> <p>You could throw a belt on top like this MK look which I love but got all kindsa panned here on YLF: </p> <p><a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/167062?cm_mmc=ProductSearch-_-US-_-Jackets-_-Belted" rel="nofollow">http://www.net-a-porter.com/pr.....s-_-Belted</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484549 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:41:25 +0000 rute 484549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>you look lovely! It's just your eyes! Once you'll get used to the volume you'll love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484542 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:33:27 +0000 nicoleb 484542@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Rae exactly! And please take those bulky pockets away from my hip area, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484538 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:29:32 +0000 rae 484538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think someone should make a structured fur vest, with propper seaming and a nipped-in waist. If they can do it for puffy vests, they can do it for furry ones. I guess I have a poisoned eye for anything that is boxy *and* bulky at the same time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484534 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:27:57 +0000 nicoleb 484534@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm I love the idea of trying a cropped one! I don't know why I never even thought of that, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484528 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:21:28 +0000 teri 484528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can't really wear them either. They make me look even bulkier </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484526 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:20:23 +0000 kellygirl 484526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look adorable in this, nicoleb. IKWYM though, you may FEEL like a wooly mammoth but you don't look like one. They make me look like a wooly icecream cone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484522 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:16:40 +0000 morethanbeige 484522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I haven't found anything I feel good in either in this area. But somehow I think a furry vest would look fantastic on you! What about a more cropped version? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faux-fur-vests-make-me-feel-like-a-wooly-mammoth#post-484504 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 16:01:49 +0000 nicoleb 484504@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I want to like them so much. I've tried on lots of them. I spotted this BB Dakota one @ Nordstrom Rack and thought, "this could be it!" because it was an extra small rather than the smalls I have tried on in the past. But nope. I still feel like it is just as unflattering on me as all the rest. I really wanted to like it but at this point I feel like I may just throw in the towel and focus on other type of faux furred pieces. Maybe I'm just not used to all that volume? Anyone else struggling with this? </p>
