acne cure

by Karen Blanchard
22 August 2010

Leather jacket: Juicy Couture (gifted). Dress: H&M. Lace bra: American Apparel. Shoes: Chuck Taylors (DIY studded). Bag: Thrift (DIY studded). Beaded bracelet: Necklace from LF. Silver beaded bracelets: Fashionology (gifted). Crucifix: Fashionology. Coral Ring: YSL.

Chances of me scoring this long lusted after ACNE dress are long gone, so I grabbed this version instead to satisfy the crave.
I remember mentioning this cropped jacket here, but to switch it up, I’ll probably wear this dress as well with a long cardigan, scarf, boots and hat once it cools down.
God. It’s August already… summer’s going too fast.

    I have to say it… you look awesome in the stripes and the shoes fit it perfect. This has inspired me for my next post to discus stripes and the best way to wear them.

    That leather jacket is just so great!
    Mind if I ask what size it is?

    Whoever made you that gift has a really good taste :))

  55. Beth Hewitt says:

    Love the H & M dress, I have the same one, however I was in Topshop Oxford Street yest and saw an even better acne copy (same black/white asymetrical stripes but with long sleeves)! Now that would really curb my acne desires!!

    i’m so sad that this dress never came to my store 🙁
    oh well, i got a striped blouse the other day that makes up for it!
    i love the lace peeking out from under your dress, and all the crazy/awesome DIY studded pieces you’re wearing!

  57. Lis-x- says:

    Primark have a very similar looking version of the Acne dress. Well, they did a few weeks ago. Three quarter length sleeves and all!
