This look was pretty dead on--if I do say so myself. This is Carrie's "I just got out of bed and ran out the door to help a friend in need" look. Because, really, only Carrie Bradshaw can roll out of bed and out the door in heels, a sequined beanie and pearls and have no one think anything weird about it.
Ms. Bradshaw donned this look on New Year's Eve and guess what? This is what I wore on New Year's Eve. And Danielle, the associate attorney in my office, knew immediately who I was dressed as. Boom.
I would say that in real life, this look doesn't work. But I did wear this in real life. And it did work. It was really comfy and felt so much fun to wear. I'm not sure how I feel on vintage fur. I definitely don't like the thought of animals being slaughtered for their fur. But this one is vintage--Patrick's great grandmother's to be exact--and therefore I don't think it's as bad.
I definitely wouldn't buy a fur myself. But I have several that have been handed down to me. I never wear them. A big part of this is the (possibly irrational) fear of walking down the street and being dowsed in red paint by someone.
And yes, I wore heels. In the snow. But I had to. There was not a way around it in the spirit of Carrie-authenticity. And it was cold and slick as a mofo. But it's all in the name of fashion. You understand.
