Wearing fur in the South might seem like a little bit of a stretch, unless you're living  where it does occasionally dip down below 60 degrees.  But fur, and of course when I say fur I mean faux fur, is just too beautiful to resist!! So if you live where its warm all year round...you have to find alternatives to a big faux fur coat.  Honestly even if you live in Alaska most of us don't want the bulkiness of a heavy fur coat.  We want to wear faux fur because of the luxurious plush look of it. The warmth, if you live in an area were you need that touch of extra coziness is a bonus!
