Fashion Do’s: Faux Fur
Elizabeth McGuffin
Blogger outfit roundup of ways to faux fur for the holidays
The holidays can feel like open season on women’s bodies and wardrobe choices. It’s challenging to stay in the holiday spirit when one aunt scolds you for that second cupcake, and another asks where you got the ‘courage’ to wear that outfit.
My advice during these times is to use social media as a respite. Populate your media feeds with accounts that inspire you to use your voice, embrace the body you have now, and participate in life. Drown out the rude remarks with encouraging ones that cheer you on, not put you down.
Eat that second cupcake, and don’t apologize for it. And wear that outfit with confidence. Tell your aunt that no one’s stopping you from wearing it, and maybe she shouldn’t stop herself any longer either. Dressing your body shouldn’t be an act of courage. It should be an act of self-expression and self-care. Four fashion bloggers show us how it’s done, wearing one of the hottest trends of the season: faux fur. Luxuriate in this decadent fabric but even more in your choice to sleigh this holiday season!
