What Would You Pay? Striped Blazer

By -
Be sure to check out last week's Stud Shoes. Most of you said you would pay around $40 to $50 dollars. See how much they really cost.

A bold jacket is the kind of statement piece that makes an excellent investment. This sort of jacket will mix well with wardrobe basics to make them more interesting. The jacket is made of acrylic with polyester lining and is dry clean only. What would you pay for this bold statement piece?

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

Update: This blazer is from ASOS and costs $106.51

I'm guessing the blazer is probably in the $80-120 range. Not really my style, but if I saw it at goodwill for $5...

Polyester and acrylic and must be dry cleaned??? that's like saying McDonald burger must be served on a silver platter

The design is nice, and the boyfriend blazer is in. But the stripes/patterns made it seem bigger and more shapeless than it really is.

Also, that color made it look somewhat washed out. And the pattern reminds me of lawn chairs...$30 at most if it's another pattern/color.

I like it, but I would only pay $30-$40 dollars for it. It's not something I could readily wear with what I have in my closet (or it would take some creativity).

I'd pay $50 because I love a good blazer. If it were a great material like wool or linen, I'd pay more.

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.
