What Would You Pay? Lacy Jacket

By -
Be sure to check out last week's Bow Hand Bag post. You said you'd pay between $45 to $150 for it. Find out how much it really costs.

This lacy, structured, knit jacket has an abundance of great details from the lacy "lapels" to the tiny waist pockets, to the exposed zippers and the lace-covered buttons. It's made of cotton and polyester, and the trim is made of rayon, nylon and polyester.

Next Tuesday I will announce on Twitter and Facebook (as well as in this post) where this jacket is from and how much it costs. (If you know where it's from, don't spoil the fun. The actual cost will skew everyone's answers.) Until then, what would you pay for a jacket like this?

Update: This is the Lacy Amour Jacket from Forever 21. It costs $22.80, which puts it well within the the price range of those of you who said you would pay a max of $50 for it. The only trick is sizing if, like me, you don't always fall in the juniors size range.

There's no lux material in the jacket, but the construction seems to be good. I'd pay <50 since it looks like a forever21 piece.

However, it is not my style and the jacket looks too old fashioned for me (<--biased. Childhood memory from growing up in China: only old ppl wears black/grey/navy with mandarin collars). It could be edgy with skinny jeans, or mini-dress and edgy shoes...

I'm with Chujiao. 50 would be my max. Especially since it's black. Black has ways of devouring wardrobes and making me look like I'm headed to a funeral.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
