What I Wore: 4.22.09
Hello! I’m feelin’ a little Sergeant Pepper crossed with 80s-era Michael Jackson today. Like many of you, I found the Spring 2009 Balmain RTW collection to be totally stunning, but with some of the key pieces checking in at over $11,000.00, the reality of ever owning an authentic piece became laughable. Thank god for Target. After spotting a Balmain / 3.1 Phillip Lim inspired vest on Jazzi, I knew that I had to have one. I stopped into a random Target location this morning and found a single vest shoved to the back of a Go International display and could hardly believe my eyes. And for only $34.99, the quality is amazing!

I LOVE your vest. It makes me think of Michael (Jackson), which means it = LOVE.

Gee Nubby you look extra-fantastic in all of this! Of course, I’m usually jealous of your purses, but this just takes it up a notch.
Post script: Is your hair naturally that dark? Either way it’s stunning.

Leesa: Yes, it’s very very MJ which is why I love it so much!
miss morgan potts: My hair is naturally light brown (you can probably spot my roots in one of the photos).

That vest looks so close to the $11,000 jacket! You have some great clothes hunting skills there!

Agreed – loving the vest & the bag!!

Sometimes Target has some amazing finds. A couple years ago I found this Alice Temperly cropped military jacket and it’s become a staple. One of the buttons fell off and I had to sew it back on, but after 2 years of constant wear, I’d say that’s pretty good.

That military vest is so badass. The boots make your whole ensemble look a little bit cyberpunk; I like it!

Can I look like you when I grow up?

I like the Target vest better…you can do more things with it, like layering for winter or by itself when it’s warm. GO Nubby, and oh, oh, oh, those killer boots too!
