OOTD: Go For the Faux

Those who know me know that it's pretty unusual that I fall hard for faux anything. And while faux fur is having a real mo' this fall, I personally feel that it makes many women look like stuffed animals. And unless you're into the whole Furry lifestyle, that's not hot. Thankfully, this rad Three Dots supima cotton fleece jacket breaks the cycle of horrid faux fur by being blatantly ridiculous. In the best way possible.

What I dig most about this jacket is the glaring contrast between the comfortable fleece base fabric (it's much like a sweatshirt, to be clear) and the bold, tipped faux fur, which inspired one dear coworker to exclaim that I looked like a lion. That's good, right? It's also toasty warm, and adds a much needed touch of glamour to a pre-holiday "casual Wednesday" OOTD.

OOTD: It's All About the Pants

With an ass and thighs like mine, it's nothing short of AMBITIOUS to think that a pair of skinny cargo pants could work.  But the J. Brand Houlihans are inexplicably THAT pair of pants that looks good on (almost) everyone.

The magic's in both the fabric (it's thick enough to hold in any unsightly bulges) and the cut. My favorite element is the ankle zip, which can (in essence) turn these into a straight or boot cut cargo in a flash.

As I am prone to do, I did snag the Houlihans in multiple - Vintage Olive and Sharkskin, seen above.  Here's the rest of my Friday look:

  • Tom Ford Jennifer Sunglasses
  • J.Crew Cami (no longer available)
  • Balenciaga Giant Day Bag in Electric Turquoise (color no longer available, other colors here)
  • Joie flats (no longer available)
  • Hayden-Harnett (no longer available) Cuff and Rebecca Minkoff Loop Bracelet
  • Dannijo and Forever 21 necklaces (no longer available)

 

Grab a pair of your own J. Brand Houlihans for $231 at Tobi.
