Let me present you this amazing piece of clothing I now stole (temporarily) from my mother. This fur coat was designed by my grand mother and custom made for her over 50 years ago. Short coats and 3/4 sleeves was the trend in the 1960s. When she stopped wearing it, she passed it on to my mom. I have tried wearing this jacket a few times with heels and dresses but once I add this coat it becomes "too much".  So the perfect way in my opinion to wear it, is to pair this fur jewel with a very simple/casual outfit and voila! I wore my Wang bag with its long strap for a more urban look to dress down the outfit instead of wearing it "the posh way" (on the forearm). It's all about balancing out elements. 

CHIC (fur coat) + CHIC (heels, clutch, fancy dress) = TOO CHIC (blingbling) Vs CHIC (fur coat) + CASUAL (jeans, flats) = PREFECT COMBO (my outfit)
