I’m also in LA, and I wear my vintage furs every single chance I get!! Night out? Fur. Walking around in the evening? Fur. Holidays parties? FUR. A vintage fur is just sooo fun
i bought a striped scarf from eldon cashmere last year, they're made in scotland with a ton of different colors and its a great alternative to trendy fast fashion versions!! it's been their signature since 97. i wear mine all the time
I love my bucket bag it is now my daily bag! I keep one pouch for lip products and tampons or such but besides that no other organization which i love because it feels so causal and hobo like ❤
I think people have an instinctive dislike for colors that won't flatter them. I don't think that "hay" color would do much for your skin tone. You needn't like it.
I'm intrigued by how people dressed years ago, back when they had very few clothes. I saw an old Christmas movie (The Shop on the Corner was the name...maybe?) and the female lead had one fur jacket that she wore every day. I guess the idea was that she wants to wear fur--it's glamorous, it IS warm, but she can't afford a long fur coat and doesn't have a big enough closet to store a long coat either.
Wow, I just ordered a cropped... scarf coat 😅from H&M and the thing that convinced me to make the purchase was the detachableness of the scarf and also... it was a 10 EUR coat soo... 😍
@ people can invest in a wool/ natural fibre coat and some can’t. I wish I could drop 200 EUR for a garment but sadly that’s a third of my monthly salary, so… polyester it is 😅 and most of my clothes are thrifted so I hope that little piece of polyester won’t be catastrophic 💜
I understand your point about faux fur, and I agree that if you're going to buy an animal product it should be secondhand (the fur industry is UNBELIEVABLY cruel and I'm so worried we'll see a boon in new, real fur as a result of these trends), buuuut it also seems a little silly to call out faux fur in particular for its biodegradability. Like, that microphone in your hand is also not going to decompose for several hundred years. The laptop I'm writing on will not decompose for years. You can point to any number of items we're all using and buying without thought that are just as bad as some tacky polyester, so it feels a bit...misplaced?
I think telling people what our clothes are made of helps them make smarter choices when shopping! Polyester and technology can be recycled but will never biodegrade like natural materials (linen, cotton, fur).
Agree, there’s nuance here: anything secondhand is going to be better for the planet vs buying new. Fur also requires much more upkeep than polyester/poly blends which doesn’t fit into everyone’s lifestyle. I still have a faux teddy coat from when they were trendy ~5 years ago and I love it!
I think it’s especially important with fashion because it’s an area where we tend to over consume and have so much turnover to the dumpster compared to other categories of products. We tend to use clothes a couple of times each whereas we would never accept that kind of planned obsolescence in other products.
I think it comes down to a larger conversation about how corporations have intentionally shifted the environmental onus to individual consumers while they continue to be the biggest unchecked wasters/polluters/exploiters. Again, I wholeheartedly agree that where we spend our money matters, and that we can and should contribute to the health of the planet (and that clothing is a particularly nefarious source of overconsumption and waste...but one look at Amazon - or landfills - will tell you it's certainly not the only one). Maybe I'm just extra cautious with this one because, again, the fur industry is particularly cruel and I'd frankly rather have someone choose new polyester over new fur IF they are going to buy into the trend and can't or won't buy used. That one choice means a lot to the suffering of animals but is a drop in the bucket in the grand scheme of environmental impact. But, I appreciate you making it part of the conversation!
Also...just to be clear I'm talking about commercial furs that are factory-raised, slaughtered, and produced. I know there are plenty of cultures and traditions that use fur and do not operate this way.

I saw it but since it is mostly made out of polyester, it was a big no-no :(
