Shannon, you are all so hillarious!!!! But pls, don't give up on fur vests, Shannon!!! I suggest one which has only some trimming, a fur collar, or short fur only inside and a smooth leather outside...(That's which I stopped by for myself) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-728067 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 09:54:08 +0000 Deborah 728067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon so good of you to post these pics. I love the idea of the vest but clearly this one isn't it. But how do you know if you don't try. It almost works with the dress and the right one could look amazing. I wish I had a funny gorilla reference to add but I don't:( </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-728054 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 08:13:24 +0000 soobee 728054@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like my Loafers?<br /> Former Gophers!</p> <p>There is something wrong with me, I know and love that song :)</p> <p>Not loving the vest, but loving you for being brave enough for trying and sharing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-728022 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 04:02:54 +0000 Diana 728022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This thread is hilarious!</p> <p>I have to agree with your family. I really admire your fashion fearlessness though! You're willing to try ANYTHING, even gorilla,</p> <p>In all fairness though, I have a really poisoned eye for furry vests, especially the hairy ones, so maybe it's not as bad as I think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-728017 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 03:49:20 +0000 Annie:) 728017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I think that having a key piece in your wardrobe that defines your style is important. However, this fur vest seems to overwhelm the outfits and your gorgeous figure! I love the pattern on the dress but I would save the boots for an edgier look and pair this with heels or flats for a more sophisticated look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727996 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 03:05:41 +0000 cjh 727996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, until I read all the gorilla references, I was thinking Muppet.</p> <p>I say Return.

You are all so hilarious!</p> <p>Lauren - I think that gorilla coat might be my vest's long-lost mother!</p> <p>Jen &amp; Caro - LOL!!!</p> <p>By the way, I think Gain wants to "get busy" with the larger size - ha ha ha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727969 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 02:31:07 +0000 Ariadne 727969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is one of the few times in my life when I can really, truly, honestly, literally say I LOLed.

I am chuckling away here, and hubs is wondering *what* could be so funny. I have to admit I have never gotten into the faux fur vest thing, and I agree, this one is really out there in cavewoman land. But I am so happy you posted, because it has put me in the best mood. You've got to be the best.sport.ever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727921 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:43:02 +0000 Laurenlaurielala 727921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second one is better! </p> <p>Love that dress on you too. </p> <p>Maybe a more variegated fur would look better?</p> <p>It really does look like a gorilla though. I photographed this gorilla fur (truly it is gorilla!) coat when I was in a museum in Paris. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727919 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:39:30 +0000 jen 727919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ps I bought a tan coloured vest in fur, went back when my husband said all I need is a cat on my head and I'd be Daniel Boone! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727917 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:36:51 +0000 jen 727917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just loved this post, so funny, you've missed your calling, you should be a comic writer! xx </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727911 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:27:39 +0000 Mo 727911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My BF (not jeans - the real guy) couldn't get behind the whole vest thing when I tried Khris' version on in F21 last year. I will also be singing that Simpson's song - too funny! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727909 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:25:44 +0000 BethL 727909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh dear... Shannon, you are made of awesome for posting the pics. The second one is not nearly as dreadful as your description made it sound like it would be. There is a fab fur vest out there for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727908 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:21:24 +0000 K. Period. 727908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh Shannon! Don't give up. This weekend I'll take a picture of mine, which I love and which found a home with me against all of my instincts. They can look absolutely amazing. </p> <p>The only reason I'm saying you have to see a picture of me wearing mine is that I'm not a slender gal. I have big shoulders (size 12 jacket), a substantial chest (DD) and an apple belly. These shouldn't work on me. They should make me look like a hulking brute. But...</p> <p>I have a jacket that a tailor "salvaged" by cutting the sleeves off. When she presented it to me, I almost lost it. I hated fur vests and couldn't imagine wearing one at the time. I'd asked her to replace the sleeves. It was almost a nuclear moment. Then I tried it on. It was gorgeous. It totally convinced me that they can work. Try what Angie suggested for styling, and stay tuned for my posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727904 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:11:20 +0000 Jjsloane 727904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You are a trooper for posting this. I'm not a fan of most fur vests and this one is not convincing me to change teams. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727901 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:09:46 +0000 Anonymous 727901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's what I love about you, Shannon....you are always game to try something new! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727898 Sat, 22 Sep 2012 00:02:55 +0000 Transcona Shannon 727898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm laughing as hard at your comments as I was when I posting these pics! I love you guys!</p> <p>Suz - I think "sexy cavewoman" might be a bit of a stretch - is there such a thing???</p> <p>Una - hmmm....didn't think of the warmth possibilities for MIL (lol).</p> <p>Rae - yeah, I'll be singing that all night long too - sorry 'bout that!</p> <p>Angie - I'm all about "taking one for the team"! </p> <p>I don't think a fur vest is going to work with my style. So for all you naysayers who wondered about me ordering this in the first place - holy moly, were you right!!! But it sure was fun and worth a laugh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727867 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 23:08:41 +0000 Angie 727867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually like the vibe of the larger size too! But you need something less gorilla-esque. Softer, shorter plush, as Rae astutely points out. </p> <p>Three cheers for being a fab sport though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727863 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 23:04:27 +0000 rae 727863@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It actually does not look bad at all in the size up... I do think it does not look like your style, though. Maybe a softer color would have worked better? Or a shorter fur? IDK, I am NOT the fur vest expert. </p> <p>...but I DO know all the words to the Monty Burns song. By heart. And I'll now be singing it all night long... o_0 </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727859 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 23:01:56 +0000 K. Period. 727859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ha ha ha! I agree with Suz! Sentence him to watch Quest for Fire ten times. Torture. Although, I do have to admit that I love the Simpsons reference..... </p> <p>I think the second looks not hideous. How's that? You are totally, absolutely the very best humored person out there in YLF land. Thanks for posting. The fails always make me feel a lot better about the times that I step into a dressing room to try something fab on only to realize that I look absolutely ridiculous. It happens to us all. You are totally awesome, Shannon. Your fur vest is out there! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727845 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:49:20 +0000 catgirl 727845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, maybe you can give it to MIL to wear when she needs to step outside? </p> <p>Okay, sorry - couldn't resist! I am glad you are such a good sport, and I don't think it's as bad as all that... but yeah, not a keeper. And it looked so cute on the site - I imagined it being cut really different somehow. It's not you, it's the sheep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727843 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:46:52 +0000 Suz 727843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shannon, you are SUCH a great sport to post these! </p> <p>I am shocked at your husband. SHOCKED!! </p> <p>Can he not SEE the sexy cavewoman thing going on here?!?!? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-gap-mongolian-shearling-vest#post-727841 Fri, 21 Sep 2012 22:43:59 +0000 Transcona Shannon 727841@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't look at the pictures yet....only do so if you want a good laugh...</p> <p>Let me start by saying that my husband is singing "See My Vest" (Monty Burns in the Simpsons) while I type this and said I look like I have a gorilla chest; my MIL promptly said "that's hideous"; my son said "you're not wearing that out, are you?"</p> <p>The first one with the BF jeans and blouse is clearly too small - doesn't do up properly. The second one with the dress is one size up and strangely enough, quite a bit thicker (more fur). </p> <p>I'm not sure any amount of alcohol would convince me to keep this and wear it outside my home. If it took me several weeks to come to terms with my BF, how much time would be involved with this???</p> <p>However, I put it out there anyway for all of your comments. Only for YLF and learning purposes would I put these pics on the web! </p>
