"She doesn't wear fur because she is cold, she wears fur because she is glamorous." -Ken Downing
If you know me, you know that I am notorious for rocking faux fur. The majority of my closet looks like Cruella De Vil was my personal shopper. If you know me, you also know that I hate cold weather. The only reason I can bear it is because I get to release my coats into the wild. Though JMU's style may be a little more casual, mine isn't. The dirty looks I get are only half the fun of wearing these out and about.

Look #1: Big Bird, But Make It Fashion.
There's no doubt a bright yellow coat can turn heads. I knew that when I bought it, and I proved it when I wore it. Though this lemony look may be a little unorthodox, it's a fantastic statement to make. Life was meant to be lived boldly-- You might as well dress like it.

Look #2: Keep It Classy
Faux fur is an excellent tool to dress up any outfit. This simple fit was inspired by none other than Kim Kardashian. I took a black bodysuit and paired it with bold, chunky accessories. To top it off, I layered on a classy, white faux fur. This combination of just a few pieces is classy, sassy, and chic!

Look #3: Spunky
Few things are as exciting as going into public dressed like a reincarnated rainbow. This spunky style is one of my favorite looks. It may not be the most casual outfit, but it is the most fun!

Look #4: Party Animal
Leopard coats are one of the top trends this season. Though this picture is from last year, I'm here for the trend I love rising to new levels. Cheetah print coats can be casual or cool. No matter how you style them, they're sure to bring out the wild side of any look!

Look #6: Penny Lane
We all know and love the classic coat from Penny Lane in Almost Famous. Not only is this a classic Beatles song, it's a classic style of coat! Though mine is a different take on the usual sherpa-lined style, I still love this lioness inspired beauty.
