A Style Step too far...

Snooping around the Luisa via Roma web site the other day, I noticed the latest Balmain military looks were just in off the runway, but then had to double take at the price points - I'm sorry, being an extreme fashion victim is one thing, but coughing up $15k for a distressed military coat is quite another.


A marginally quick sleuth around the internet 5 minutes later and there are plenty of other jackets out there without this hefty price tag.


 Try this coat from Rag and Bone for $540


 Or this one from Top Shop for a paltry $160



 Or this from Gryphon at $385


All that being said - the Balmain still has a certain aspirational quality to it... maybe if I spread the payment over a few credit cards....
