The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book: Faux Fur
Welcome to The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book!
Welcome! This is The Good Buy/Good-Bye Book. A series co-hosted with Nancy where you can choose whether you want to share a Good Buy (which is an item you are really exited about) or a Good-Bye (which is an item you are going to say good-bye to, previously known as a Bad Buy). We will keep purchasing Bad Buys every now and then for a variety of reasons…it was so cheap, you were in a hurry and really wanted (needed) to buy something, it fit almost quite right. But, of course, we also have those purchases that can make us so very happy. A piece of clothing that you have had for years and that you also wear a lot. Or something you bought on a holiday and every time you wear it, you get that nostalgic holiday feeling back. Every month you can choose which item you want to submit. A Good Buy or a Good-Bye. We will provide the theme for each month. Photos should be submitted to us by the 10th of the month with a few sentences explaining why it is a Good Buy or Good-Bye.
And now without further delay, let me share with you the Faux Fur items that have been submitted this month. Also, remember to visit Nancy’s Fashion Style as well to see some more fun in fur! Hopefully, you will find some inspiration from the fabulous ladies who have shared their personal fuzzy pieces.
First up is my beautiful co-host, Nancy of Nancy’s Fashion Style with her chic and cozy faux fur snood.
The stunning Jodie of Jodie’s Touch of Style sent the loveliest lavender faux fur coat.
“Here’s my newest faux fur coat. And to think I almost talked myself out of buying it since we are living in AZ. But I’ve worn it at least 4 times already and I’ve only had it 4 weeks…ha ha!!!”
Jodie of Jodie’s Touch of Style
The whimsical and wonderful Anne M. Bray of SpyGirl shared with us her new “Big Pink Rug Shawl”. (I think I am in love!)
“In short, this rectangle of Pink Mongolian Lamb was outside my usual budget yet SO worth it and I’m SO glad I brought it home to my lair. It’s an instant conversation starter!”
Anne M. Bray of SpyGirl
To see more of Anne’s amazing collection of furry things, this little series of ours has prompted her to share them in one post, Fur Real and Faux.
The lovely Michele of @seechele_styles shared her leopard faux fur coat.
Next is the gorgeous Mireille of Chez Mireille sharing her cozy fur-trimmed winter boots and puffer vest.
“I didn’t realize I had a couple more faux fur pieces than I thought. For the cold days: my Sorel boots and this cozy vest with a faux fur trimmed hood.”
Mireille of Chez Mireille
And finally one of my favorite faux fur pieces from my vast collection (yes, I am quite obsessed with faux fur).
“This grayish-brown fur vest is absolutely a Good Buy. I bought this a few years ago at Cato and I paid full price. I rarely pay full price for anything, but I absolutely fell in love with this vest. The back is a sweater knit which eases some of the bulk if the entire vest were furry. I have worn it countless times over the years and it is still a favorite. Money well spent on this one!”

It is money well spent when you love it and wear it all the time. I’m so glad the faux fur trend is still going strong.
XOXO

I agree, Jodie! Case in point, I found the most comfortable sweater at Old Navy and so I got it in every color and I wear them and then sleep in them because they are so cozy! Maybe they will show up for the December sweaters theme!

I forgot to say a few words about my faux fur! Lol. I had to buy something because I didn’t have any. But I’m wearing this round scarf a lot now on a black dress! What a beautiful faux fur the ladies are wearing!

You totally forgot to say something about your scarf, but I knew that you had just purchased it so I figured maybe you didn’t have anything to say about it yet! Haha It looks great. I am so glad that you are getting lots of wear out of it!

I love your vest and that is pretty cool about the back of it being a sweater material. I always enjoy these themes because it is fun to see the variety out there.

Thank you, Mireille! I wish I had a picture of the back of it! I am so glad that you were able to join us this month. I am hoping with the sweater theme for January that we will get lots more participants!

Gorgeous! Everything! Nancy didn’t have ANY faux fur?!? How does that even happen? And that huge hot pink shawl – OMG it’s amazing! And talk about faux fur coats. I have one that’s all black and white long faux fur which I don’t get to wear nearly enough and then I have one that has faux fur lining that peeks out, which I also don’t get to wear enough. And Jodie’s lovely lavender faux fur one! I just need to make occasions to wear them out. Then I saw your Mireille’s boots and wonder if they make faux fur boot toppers because I have some boots that are a teeeeny bit like hers and thought mine might look more like hers if there are faux fur boot toppers. And then I saw your boots and now I’m in love! Your faux fur vest is pretty awesome, too. I may have something to put into the next Good Buy/Good Bye and I’m still on the fence about it. I’ll see if I can get it photographed and send it your way.

Aw, Ruth, thanks so much for this fun comment! Your enthusiasm for faux fur has made me smile! I have probably a dozen faux fur coats and I wear them just with jeans and sweaters. I do hope you can join us for January with a sweater or two. We chose a fairly easy theme for next month, so hopefully we get lots of participation.
