chauss, thanks for sharing! The fins give the basic bootie that little something extra and they look magnificant on you! How's the sizing?

 

[Mona13]

I picked up two vintage jackets (for really good prices.....)

First is 2005 Scorpion Collection - white/ivory cotton



Second is 2007 Wishbone Collection - cropped. My version is slightly different than the runway - it was buttons instead of ties.

mona, thanks and i did do black socks.... i ahvent tried contrasting color ones yet. i have a pait of black fishnet and lace that might workfor contrast..
your jackets rock. and the leather on the second one is beyooooooond. i may have to borrow it.

princessimp, i took my true american size. these run long, true italian sizing and are very comfortable to walk in.
i actually bought them to take to paris as my walking shoes .B)

mona,those pieces are beautiful! did you go to his sample sale or something?

 

[Mona13]

Thanks, Inaya, Princess, chauss, and Scott

chauss - anytime! If only we wore the same shoe size, I would definitely want to borrow your fins

Scott - the leather jacket is preowned and from a seller in Paris. He's the same seller I bought the longer brown jacket I posted a bit ago. The cotton jacket I bought from catwalktocloset.com

Sublime Mona you have exquisite taste!

 

[Mona13]

Guessgirl - thank you! I bought it from a seller in Paris. I posted a few other jackets he is selling in the Get it before it's gone thread. I have had really good luck with him. His prices are good, pieces are amazing, and shipping is insanely fast. I received this one overnight

pucci - wow; I am flattered. That means a lot coming from you. I love your style!

 

[tangerine]

+1, Exquisite finds, Mona!

 

[luckyme]

+2, second the exquisite taste you have, mona!

 

[stealthmodesteph]

great finds mona! I saw that seller while doing my daily scrounge on ebay. I was hoping that the padded jacket had the quilted edges, but I think the one he has will be too overpowering on me (not to mention I'm supposed to be saving money for things I actually need) Does he list RO fairly regularly?

 

[Mona13]

Thank you, tangerine and steph.
lucky - same goes for my comment to pucci. I am very flattered. Thank you for the kind words

first shot at taking a pic with the new iphone...yes, my office carpet is the pits but the drkshdw maxi dress looks good anyhow. its long, 63" 's, i need to get it hemmed and the xs was a good choice as these run huge. the color is dark shadow which is my favorite always from rick owens. this view is distorted a bit ( i took it upside down because of the light), the pockets are at the waist and there is a big slit up the front to the knee. its a thin soft cotton, not like his usual fleece.

the joanshepp.com picture is more accurate but the color isnt so hot.

 

[PrincessImp.]

^Lucky! I have no words...this dress will be magnificent on you!
This is so strange but I have been eyeballing this dress for quite sometime. Once again.. GREAT MINDS....

 

[tangerine]

beautiful dress, luckyme! that is a great color, indeed.
PrincessImp., when is yours arriving?

 

[Inaya]

awww beautiful, lucky I know what you mean about drkshdw, just such a perfect shade. the dress looks divine and so comfortable.

 

[stealthmodesteph]

great dress! Oak has it right now too (same style I think?), although something about the way they styled it I don't really like.
