Fur or Faux

When it comes to fur, you can be both earth friendly and frugal by going for faux or vintage wraps, stoles, etc. Check out your local resale and consignment shops for great finds. If traditional is not your thing or you prefer new, try the funky colors and textures put out at Matthew Williamson, Thakoon, and Alberta Ferretti.

Regardless of your choice, real vs. faux, recycled vs. new, color vs. natural, a simple addition to your closet could make for an easy way to glam up your all-black outfit in a snap. Now any after five occasion, from a night out and a movie to a chic cocktail party, is covered.
