Shallow Fashion Coveting: this is entirely the fault of icprncs

I had no idea this catalog existed until icprncs posted about it, curse her.

Stripey jacket! (clicky-link!) The wrong colors, of course, but good lord, how pretty is that? (Very pretty, and you people know it.)

That's it. I need to find some b&w wide-striped silk, and commission a jacket from one of the many talented designers I know. Then it will be exactly what I want, and I'll be able to stop looking.

(Yesyes, I have the amazing and lovely Cupcake Gothic striped polonaise that kambriel created for me, and I grin and clap my hands every time I look at it. But that is a formal outfit, and I want an everyday striped silk jacket, too.)

(I swear, I do have other stuff to write about than shallow fashion wittering. It's just that the shallow fashion stuff can be written very quickly, while the other topics are things I want to spend some time on.)

I liked the swancourt pima cotton jacket until I saw the price. Im sure its worth all the work that went into it but I just cant justify it. in arizona.

Same here. I really liked it until the price tag registered in my brain. Not to mention I'm almost certain I've seen very similar jackets on eBay for around $70.
