Shallow Fashion Coveting: this is entirely the fault of icprncs

[cupcake_goth]

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.)

Well, *I* think it's awesome (and I love the trim, so there). It would look freakin' fabulous on ME. :P

heh, I think I would like it better for YOU if it had more VIOLET in it. :P But yes, it would look faboo on you.

Looking through the catalog, there are a number of pieces I like the design or idea of but the details are just off and the colors are a wee bit too brown to make me happy.

Part of the appeal of that jacket for me is that it's *incredibly* 18thC, even if it's not my best colors. It's really rare to see colors and fabric like that in modern fashion.

true, on all counts. That makes perfect sense to me.
