Sitting at home watching Masterchef and then Grand Designs, searching on eBay and listening to the new Bat for Lashes track. Oh awesome awesome joy! Yes, I am back on the eBay game after restraining myself for a period of time and have put together a whole list of search terms to go through and have a few things on watch. One though that isn't on watch but made my eBay day is this vintage Alaia plaid jacket and skirt set circa 1986 that so reminds me of Cher a la Clueless circa 1995. Like, duh? Isn't the reference like totally obvious? I totally paused for a second there at the resemblance between the ensemble and the outfit that Cher picked out on her nifty computer programme at the beginning of the film.
Better yet that the suit is by Alaia, the "totally important designer."
It's not on my watch because frankly I have a feeling other Cher-freaks out there could benefit from the suit better than I. Still, if it did fall into my hands and seeing as I'm like totally NOT Cher at all... my outfit involving the suit would be a leeetle bit different...
...Rodarte-inspired black knitted thigh highs which I've just bought on Etsy (I succumbed but hey over pastel stockings and floral tights I feel a different slant can be achieved...) over Bebaroque bridal sheers, Inside Out trompe l'oeil sweater vest tee (I do recall a Tai outfit involving a Fair Isle sweater vest...), and Pierre Hardy gold trainer boots (have these on watch for no reason seeing as I can't afford them...)...
...and seeing as I don't a have a sheeny shiny golden mane to shake and run my hands through, I'd rather divert attention away from the tresses with Anthony Vaccarello's headpiece from his new collection...
I'd only wear all of this sporadically of course... hopefully I don't end up looking like a "Monet"...
(Apologies for excessive references to the film...if you haven't seen it I'd heartedly recommend it...)
