Le sigh. A fresh, stripey lining — an amazingly tailored fit — and a comfortable jersey blazer? Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. At $975, it's definitely a splurge — but one you'll be wearing for years. It's available at Kirna Zabête. Proenza Schouler's Shrunken Blazer

Beautiful.
Yes. Call me pathetic, but an expensive jacket always makes me feel more confident.
It’s only available in a 4. Which is good, ‘cuz I might have actually bought it otherwise and now I don’t have to have that talk with my husband about how, “yes, I did need a $975 blazer”
It’s gorgeous!!
But… Does anyone make a less indulgent knockoff? I want, want, want to, but I just can’t justify a jacket in the amount of a law school loan payment…
A few weeks ago a Boden blazer was featured. I think that one comes in gray and it was $150 or so.
Gorgeous, I love the look, color, and fit. I just can’t justify spending that much amount of money on a piece of jacket :(
Le sigh, indeed. Oh how I wish I could justify spending that much on it.
I want to go to there. I want it in my closet. I am a poor graduate and cannot afford it. Any other thoughts on knock-offs?
I am completely all about the jacket. Whether you call it tuxedo or dinner jacket:). Silver lame. Taupe canvas. Armani. Chanel. Vintage. Levis….And that one you’ve got here is plain and simple killer. I want to kiss it.
