There Are $40 Faux Fur Coats at Target, and They Actually Look Expensive

Yes, affordable fur coats do exist. No, we're not talking about the leftover options from last winter that have been marked down because nobody wants to buy them. We actually found some chic styles that are initially priced under 50 bucks. Crazy, right? In fact, there are a couple of designs that clock in at $40. And there's quite a good range to choose from. The affordable fur coats come in so many styles, from long, glamorous jackets to short, puffy designs.


The best part: You can order one offline and score free shipping because the best affordable fur coats are at Target. Until December 23, the retailer is rewarding us all with free standard shipping with a few exclusions. So you really can't go wrong.

Bruug leather vest, ASOS white t-shirt, Lee jeans, L.A.M.B by Gwen Stefani sneakers, Katherine Dunmill bag, Misuzi necklace
As you will have no doubt read, a little over a week ago some of the Perth fashion bloggers got together to sell off some preloved pieces from their wardrobes. On that particular day, there were promises of light showers and a warmish temperature. Knowing I would be outside on my feet all day I thought I would wear one of my regular go-to outfits, jeans and a white t-shirt (see-I said I would share it again!) with sneakers. There was and is no way that I will wear heels if I know I will be on grass or soil. I care for them too much! Think what you may about the current normcore trends bringing everyday clothing to the runways and street style snaps across the globe, I do not mind this sneaker and denim pairing for comfort or even style. With the hems cuffed a little it works without making your feet look too heavy, but I must say I still prefer to stick to the neutral pallet of choice- I am not going to wear a neon sneaker thank you very much. So that is my tip- stick to neutral sneakers and cropped jeans. The rest? Up to you- for me the white t-shirt does the trick, and this leather vest kept the rain off just enough.

Continuing this weeks theme of pairing a rarely worn item with a white t-shirt and regularly worn item… come to think of it I have worn this vest a few times, and it goes with more than I had expected. Vests can be tricky, or feel unnecessary, but they work for in-between weather and layering. It is safe to say that black jeans are high on rotation for me (I would also say they were my unofficial uniform), and sneakers are a bit of give and take. For comfort, they are obviously great, but honestly I wear my converse or skater style sneakers a lot more than these jogger sneaker styles.

We shot these photos between coffee at a cafe down the road with what is obviously an incredible garden. Through a labour of love, keen eye and green thumb, this place ensures you feel like you have stepped outside of your everyday and into what could be a holiday resort destination. Situated on one of the busiest roads in Perth I am surprised more people do not know about it.

While it is said that we wear 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time, I make a conscious effort to use as much of mine as I can. This helps not only with needing to do the washing less than once every 10 days (except for smalls etc) but to ensure I actually use what I buy. I have talked about my capsule wardrobe again and again, but it occurred to me that about 80% of the time, I share clothes on this blog that I do only wear 20% of the time. Like cocktail dresses... Really I don't get around in these everyday, so in an effort to share more of the regular personal style happenings, I have a few outfits to share, that are more everyday. On top of this I have picked one key piece to link three outfits together, which could be described as the epitome of the capsule-must-have-piece in your closet. Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen famously began their label on the search for the perfect version, they are obtainable anywhere, and go with virtually anything... 
Can you guess? I am wearing one above... 
The white tee. You got it. 

Pictured here I am also in my favourite black blazer, which for anyone who has ever lived or worked with me can verify, I wear about five days out of seven each week. Bought at a garage sale put on by fashion people back in 2009 (for $10), this linen blazer (originally sold at a Katies store according to the label) is the right amount of oversize, non tailored and comfortable. It does not have huge shoulder pads, and rolls at the sleeve perfectly. If ever in doubt, I will throw this blazer over any outfit and call it done. In the case of what on earth to wear with a pair of soft white leather track pants (something I NEVER expected to own), I tried many jackets, but this one got the job done. The softness of the leather is so beautiful. Cut so thin, they border on looking like pyjamas, so a somewhat structured blazer keeps it looking outdoor worthy. My advice is to hit op-shops with a black blazer in mind, and make sure to look through the racks carefully to find one of good quality. Otherwise, you can pick one up most places, I have added a list of some I have found for you below. 

So there you have it, one item I wear 20% of the time (tricky white leather track pants), one I wear 80% of the time (black blazer) and one I could wear everyday for a year. I really could do that- 'the white t-shirt project'. 

Some black blazers to recommend:

Things that came to mind during the first few hours of wearing in a new pair of leather pants included wondering what the universal method was on driving in them (all zips and buttons undone??) and how I was going to survive a dinner outing that night. Luckily, all they needed was a bit of prancing around at work for them to mould to my shape and are now so comfortable I don't want to take them off. I've wanted to try a pair of leather look pants for quite some time but struggled to find a pair that didn't feel like it was made out of rags when you put them on and (of course) ending up finding a perfect match in these high-waisted babies at Glassons when I was least expecting it. Word of advice: wearing them in - so worth it.

As timelessly inspiring as she was elegant, Audrey Hepburn graced my walls as a child, captivated my days watching her films and taught me a lot about perseverance and love.

Although we are in the process of rebranding and relaunching to a new blog site, (something which is taking a while- I need to take time off of my other work to get on top of it!!) the recent blogger sale motivated us to redo the current logo and print some cards. Mario is a graphic designer so I put him to work! I am forever at events being asked for a business card, and never have one, so now at least until we get the new blog up and running I can hand out these. What do you think?

CORNFLOWER




Glassons fluffy sweater / Levi's denim (similar) / Forever New bag (similar) / Colette by Colette Hayman necklace (similar) / Sportsgirl sunglasses (similar) / Unknown boots

Quite possiblly the softest jumper I've ever felt and has therefore earned its number one spot in my fluffy sweater collection. I'm so happy with the amount of pastel-coloured and fluffy goodies coming into stores lately.... every few years I look at the trends currently out and declare that it's the best year for fashion yet, and I think that time has come again because the focus is back on comfort and effortlessness and it's never felt so good. Although, I did buy leather-look pants today from work even though I can't guarantee that I'll be able to bend in them... but everything is easily justified when it's on sale, right?
