These are some pics I took a few weeks ago and I just wanted to upload them. I have not been up to taking any recent pictures since I’ve been under a bit of stress lately in my personal life. I’m slowly climbing my way out and I have my family and friend to encourage me to keep moving!I was very happy to find this faux stole at forever21 because I really, really wanted one and did not want the upkeep of taking on a vintage stole made of real animal fur. There is much you have to do to maintain and retain the look of real fur and it can be costly.
I found the right shade, style and price ($26) at forever21, and I wasn’t even really look, who knew.

I wore this outfit to a Christmas party where I ended up tripping, spraining my ankle and ripping my jeans. So I looked cute for about 10 minutes and that was it; foot was swollen but I kept partying anyway!
oh wow Budget Chic…i lucked up on a fur (faux?) stole 2 weeks ago when i went back home to missouri at a thrift store! and it cost me all of 12 bucks! i was so happy to have found it. a lady who saw me with it started questioning me about it b4 i went to pay 4 it, but i let her touch it and pointed to where i found it and i ran to the cashier! lol
i’ve been looking for one ever since i saw that tyler perry movie Why did i get married? and the scene in the parking lot with the couples after the dinner fight and secrets came out. janet jackson was wearing a black turtle neck, black pants/stretch pants boots fierce handbag and a brown lush fur stole slinking around her shoulders with dark shades on to hide her teary eyes. she looked so hot i said i gotta replicate that look. now i can. waited 3 years but hey it’s a classic timeless look!
Oh I am SO glad to see you back! I was thinking of you every day and hoping you were well. You look maaahvelous (channeling Billy Crystal)! That stole is just glamorous and unique and funky too!
I'm a fortysomething year old hard working mom that loves fashion, but my purse strings ain't so flexible! My 20 year old son is off at college, so I got some time on my hands *wink* Now that you got the 5 second rundown; pull up a chair, get that Latte and browse around.
