It seems like an absolute age since I wrote about Jil Sander’s SS08 collection and the colours of the skies Raf Simons painted in the sheer pieces. I was about *this* (makes a centimetre with thumb and index) to caving and buying an ombre Jil Sander cape from Luisa Viaroma but in the end, I opted to just let it lie and see what sort of sheer cheapness comes along.
In the end, it was cheapness indeed as I bought these sheer bed jackets at $0.01 each…yup that’s 1 cent each and with some sheer that I already had in the form of a vintage slip dress and black Topshop sheer pocketed tunic, it’s my less frou-frou version of sheer with a nudge towards that dusky sky that Simons expertly conveyed.
Of course, tulle layer cakes are still on my mind but simple sheer will also suffice. 
lovely blog <3
clever pairing!
I really hope to see the sheer thing really take off. I feel like no one is really featuring it seriously in editorials. They show that one Marc Jacobs’ ensemble and that’s about it!
I’m amazed at how you keep finding stuff at such cheapo prices (like that pink PVC skirt!) Really like the subtle layering of the sheer pink with navy too..
Too cool. One might even say it’s more suitable and versatile for wearing on the street than the actual Jil Sander pieces.
That is Really Cheap !!

I have a strange bed jacket fixation. Especially the quilted ones.
Love ur blog friggin much!
Keep up the good work 🙂
one cent each!!! WOW!! and your slip dress is awesome. i remember a post of yours where you wrote that sheerness would probably become one of your favourite summer trends.
Hi, I love your blog. It’s always so fresh and unique. If you have the time, check out some of my stuff I’m selling on ebay..

Talk about cheap chic! I like that and forever21 has a top that is similar to what was on the runway at Jil Sander.
I like this, SB, even if it does seem sort of…flammable.
The colours in your outfit are fantastic – great mix and really fresh and happy!
cute! something I wouldnt have thought of.

When I first read bed jackets, sadly enough. I imagined a sort of sleeve for one’s bed. Yes I know. But I have to say the real thing looks a lot better than what I imagined. Especially for 1 cent!
One cent!?
I feel like only you could find a deal that amazing.

i love what raf did for jil sander. especially all the assymetrical edges.
nice outfit by the way.
SHEER me up baby, SHEEERRR ME UP!
aah this looks great. i have the every same sheer topshop dress and always with it came in more colours.
love how you’ve injected just the right amount of colour in the jackets.
I am *always* tempted by bed jackets at thrift stores. The next time I see one, I’m getting it.
Have you seen this little confection yet? http://aromaleigh.wordpress.com/2008/04/15/tokyo-fashion-week-gothic-lolita-eye-collection-inspiration/. Thought of you when I saw it & your wonderful musings on tulle layers. P.S. Love the shoes!
