Coat: Zara. Sheer T: Urban Outfitters. Sequin leggings: Topshop. Boots: Vintage men’s Fryes. Bag: Balenciaga. Gloves: W shop. Crucifix pendant: Thrift. Lipstick: RED by MAC

I LOVE vintage and thrift shops. It’s the ultimate place to find one off stuff and play dress up for a bit (note the ivory feathered hat above which I ADORE and am still wondering if I’m mad to actually still want it. I am aren’t I? actually – don’t answer that).
I saw this over sized sequin jacket in dark multi-colours and despite being too big for me, I took it. I’ll take it to a tailor to make a couple of alterations and will wear it over T-shirts, leather skinnies or old jeans.

    Been considering sequin leggings but can’t bring myself to buy them. So many people wear them well.

    The jacket looks great! Can’t wait to see how it looks once it “fits”.
    And…that hat is calling you! It looks great!

    I would keep the Acne’s, and with that said, and you know me haha, if you would have had a size 6 I would of course have said get rid of the Acne’s 😉
    I think you will regret if you let the Acne’s go,

    much love,

    Love the jacket!and the hat is awesome- go back and get it!

  35. Karen says:

    Thanks guys. Normally I’d probably get the hat, but its so big on me. When I had it on correctly, it actually fell below my eyes.

    Its so cute though.

    I’ll post shots when the jacket gets done. Its more droopy on the shoulders than anywhere else.

    Mihal – its in Queens.

    Cocorosa – yea I’m starting to think that already :-/

    My aunt had a jacket similar to the sequenced one you’re wearing. When she came here to the States visit visit us, she insisted on wearing it every day. I was not only embarrassed but mortified. I was about 9 years old. Now I wish she’d forgotten her jacket when she returned to London.
