Merry Christmas ... Thougths About Fur.

non-political-correct christmas outfit ... fur: hand-me-down // belt on fur: came with some other item // scarf: flea market // long cardi: some store in nyc // dress: mädelsflohmarkt mannheim // leatherbelt: h&m // tights: c&a // wedges: gifted // bag: vintage // necklaces and earrings: thrifted, fleamarkets and vintage // bracelet: hand-me-down

dear readers - I whish you a merry chistmas!

i shot this outfit before i left for my family's home... in early 2010 my mum handed this vintage fur jacket down to me. i wasn't sure if i would wear it... as being a vegitarian for about fifteen years i don't feel quite pc about wearing a mink!

i still remember, when my mum came back home from shopping with my granny... she was so confused and upset about this jacket (me too. i was 7 years old and an enthusiastic animal lover)! actually my mum would never had worn a mink because of non- ethical husbandry. 'i really never, never, NEVER wanted this fur!' my mum confirms a minute ago . my granny thought this jacket would be a very useful and fashionable item in her daughters denim-all-over-closet! mum still wonders about how my granny persuaded her to bring this fur home.

to cut a long story short... i thougth it would be fun to surprise my mum by wearing this mink on christmas. hehehe, she really was surprised.

we (mum & i) decided that those minks - who had to die for this jacket nearly 25 years ago - won't get back to live by tossing it away. ok, the mink is going to stay in my wardrobe but i definitly can't promise wearing it in public...

ich finde das "Fell-Thema" auch sehr schwierig. Ich finde es jedoch okay, wenn man ein Teil aus Fell trägt, welches schon Jahre alt ist. Lebendig werden die Tiere auch nicht mehr, wenn man es wegwirft.
Also, freu dich über die schöne Jacke.

Auf der Weihnachtsfeier hatte ne Neue einen Pelz ihrer Oma dabei, ich habe ihn anprobiert und am liebsten nicht mehr ausgezogen. Neu geht gar nicht, aber wenn ich einen alten vererbt bekommen würde, könnte ich wahrscheinlich nicht widerstehen... Bis morgen :* Jasmina
PS.: Toll sahst du aus <3
