So surprise of an eBay win arrived a week ago but then the sun decided to grace London with its 30 degree heat. However last night, the chilly chilly arrived and my eyes darted between the Balenciaga jacket and my wardrobe in sheer excitement thinking how to wear it. I could so easily of going down the sports luxe look with sleek leggings, body-con top and killer heels. Somehow, though I ended being a little nanny-ish with my outfit choice and went for a cutesy Tofu white tunic, vintage green slip dress, white lacey holdups navy over the knee socks and neat white lace-ups. All in all, lots of the lacy lacy peeking out…
But then I faltered and decided that I’m not getting ready to have a sweet little nap. I’m going out for Christ’s sake! So then the chain went on. I know, I caved, I crumbled. But in my defense the cobalt blue does work with the darker blue/green hues on the jacket…
I think it looks great both ways, whats amazing is how the chain completely changes this look!
the chain rocks! Give it a break:)
personally, i love it! it’s even better on you life than on the ebay ad (when isn’t it??) that is such a great find!
love this… i really envy you, for some reason i can never make the ebay plunge.

This jacket looks much better than I thought it would. What a great deal, and what a great eye, as usual!!!
you look fantastic
Wow, awesome style as usual…speaking of ebaying – got any strategies or favorite sellers you’d care to share??
xoxox
Love the layers, and the chain adds a bit of toughness to a pretty look. 🙂
The whole look is fab!
You are always very very very successful at layering. Everything works so well, the jacket is FAB, and the necklace just completes the look!
Stupid question, but where are your socks from?
i prefer it WITHOUT the chain as the jacket is so stunning already. can we all spell ‘overkill’???
You know, the ebay picture really doesnt do it any justice. It looks much better on a real person with a good outfit. It is very nice, you had a good find.
Congratulations on your win! I love the way you’ve combined the jacket with the layers and all that. Fun look!
Nice ensemble! What are those white lacey holdups? Are they tights held up by suspenders? And where can I get a pair?
They are white lacey holdups – from a sex shop no less…
Navy socks from Topshop.
Thanks guys for affirming my eBay purchase…
Riz: Hopefully will be bringing some more eBay posts…but I have written about a few if you search for eBay in the right hand column.
cool jacket! I have one of the proenza jackets they did for Target, has a similar looking texture. And your hair is PHENOMENAL by the way
I bought the same jacket on ebay about a month ago!
