I’m in love, love, LOVE with this elegant black vintage evening sweater! Detachable fox fur collar, plunging open neckline secured with a rhinestone clasp, and a lacy lining too. I’m rendered speechless — dreaming and hoping for such a sweater, but speechless.

The capelet is especially stunning against the royal blue. Below, Gloria Swanson wears a whole lot more monkey fur…

Whatever You Think Of Fur…

You have to agree that, vintage or not, it truly is a fashion faux pas (or is it faux paws?) to wear a short fur jacket over your swimsuit on the beach.

Aside from looking rather ridiculous, most women could not bear such focus on & scrutiny of their swimsuit covered bottoms.

Photo of a woman wearing fur coat during a cold spell on Miami Beach, Florida, in 1940 taken by Alfred Eisenstaedt. (I wonder how Alfred managed to keep the camera still while taking this photo — my photos would be distorted from laughing! I guess that’s why he’s a professional photographer lol)

I might as well; the snow isn’t going anywhere. *sigh*

But wouldn’t a coat like this be superb for going out & about, making those holiday returns and exchanges?  Sloshing about was never so chic!

OK, this here’s a fur post — if you don’t like fur, don’t throw fake blood on my blog; just click away.

I personally don’t have any problem whatsoever with vintage furs; what’s done is done.  And as far as fur in general, well, I can’t afford anything other than vintage… But if I could… Well, I’m not opposed to certain furs from animals, like leather, which are used for more than just fur — like rabbit.

This isn’t technically an “all white” post if you are looking past the accessories, but who can argue with a Debbie Reynold’s holiday pin-up photo? The adorable muff, headpiece and trim are likely white rabbit fur.
