Chic fur vest

Would you know what to wear this black and white fur vest with? Well there are hundreds of options and I’ll show you a few – including a dress, jeans and shorts! Last winter I was on the lookout for a fur vest and Mum and I ventured into a shop in Hastings, of all places, and found two! This was only $20 and possibly the last one left. That’s what I like to call a ‘God-incidence’. I don’t believe in fate, I know we have a heavenly Father who adores his girls and wants to pour his favour and blessings on us. See how awesome God is, and miles ahead, given there’s now a saturation of fur vests and coats in the groovy shops and most cost more than $100. I was informed last week by a super spy that they are selling some in a shop in Patterson Lakes.

A white or neutral background of clothing highlights the vest but it is equally effective on red and looks great over black or silver for a more formal evening look. This red dress was a bargain and being the queen of detail, I loved the cut-outs along the arms. Don’t be afraid to ask for a better price girls, particularly if you are power-buying. I had 30 minutes to spare before school pick-up one day and scored four winter dresses for $120, including this red number. If you don’t ask, you don’t get – the sales lady took $40 off after I asked for her best price. The necklace was reduced from $25 to only $5 during a Diva sale. The silver shorts (pictured) were $4 from a shop in Southland called Reaper. And no, that was not a typo error!!! Brand new and $4…is that even possible!
