as per january tradition, i hit the sales with my girlfriends, a credit card and a vengeance this year. while they zeroed in on investment pieces and all-season basics, yours truly only had eyes for the rack of soft, sensual, luxurious faux fur way in the back of the store.
.
standard shopaholic justifications of how i could carry it with me when i travel and how fur will always be 'in' ensued, but my friend dragged me out of the store declaring that i'd never be able to wear faux fur in bombay.
.
ever a lover of experimentation and shameless shock value, i took this as a challenge and went ahead and bought myself this gorgeous gilet. paired with a basic tee and jeggings in a monochrome palette, nobody in the mall or at the restaurant after whispered, did a double take or smothered a giggle.

delighted at the encouraging response, i took her out again few days later. only this time, to street shopping and a movie. as anticipated, everything that i had feared the first time round came true. still, i soldiered on and re-wore her to a party a few nights later with a white dress, black tights, 6 inchers and sparkly bijoux where she had her shining moment.
the verdict : if you're a faint-hearted fur-lover, wear your fur where it's fancy. 'nuff said.
