Spot the Real: Lucy Paris Shaggy Faux Fur Vest

Can you guess which fur vest costs $95?
Truth be told, I wasn't exactly sold on the shaggy faux fur vest look until I saw this outfit idea, which I posted on Instagram. Sometimes you just need to see something in a new context to fall in love with it, and that's what happened with this cozy white layering piece. Having said that, this might not be a piece you wear a ton. And keeping it clean seems challenging at best. I'm going with the look for less that's $34.99 at Target - the designer version is $95.
