Not so hot...

Some current trends the Practical Fashionista says are "not so hot".

The vintage fur coat...not only does it look gross, it probably smells it too.

Doc Martens...I didn't like them then, so I definitely have no love for them now.

The granny dress...all I have to say is, ICK! *fashionista Katie Holmes can't even make it work

Surreal to Real - The "Fur" Vest

Runway shows and glossy photo spreads in magazines are great for showcasing the upcoming fashion trends, but are unrealistic for the real world. My “Surreal to Real” postings are where I profile a hot trend shown on the runways, and show you how to wear it in real life…making you a fashion vixen, not a fashion victim. This week…the fur (or faux fur) vest.
