Untitled #79 by zenica featuring a double breasted jacket
I don’t have a Purple Alpaca wool blend coat to style in. I came across a purple alpaca wool blend coat on Polyvore and decided to create a set around it.
The coat in question is from Balenciaga. It is a double breasted style coat that I’m assuming is 100% wool. Couldn’t find confirmation of that on the product description page. Did find details about the composition of the lining but it’s rather confusing because it has two sets of data. One says the lining is 20% silk 13%Â polyamide and the other says the lining is 71% acetate 3% wool and 84% alpaca.
Nothing there appears to be adding up to 100% to me but what do I know?
As stated the set above features a purple alpaca wool blend coat. The coat comes with a $1 425 price tag.
Also included in the set is a white cotton top also from Balenciaga. The top comes with a $535 price tag. It’s described as a “front fold top”” which features a straight neckline and capped sleeves (top),.
The bag is a wrinkled lambskin bag another Balenciaga item. It comes with a $1,545 price tag. (bag),
The ankle booties are $631. They are Balenciaga black lamb skin ankle boots with a 3.9 inch heel. (boots),
The skirt yet another Balenciaga item is a $740 printed pencil skirt with a tweed knit pattern in pink and black python print (skirt),
The featured outfit would cost you a total of $4,876 to obtain. More power to you if you can afford to spend five thousand dollars on a single outfit.
Assignment
Create a set on polyvore that is meant to be an affordable alternative to Untitled #79
The Set
I’m not sure this would exactly qualify as “affordable” given that the jacket and the skirt are both over $200; but here is the alternative set to the above Balenciaga outfit.
This set features a sleeveless white blouse from Mango which comes with a $50 price tag” a $230 Planet Ruby Port Pea Coat (purple coat),” a $235 L.K.Bennett Rhea Wool Blanket Check Skirt ( skirt),” a $55 pair of Timeless black platform booties” a $59 Bakers Bologna Xiii Handbag (Bakers shoulder bag),.
Total for the above items: $629
By all means if you can afford the Balenciaga and that’s what you want go for it. You deserve to have what you want; but if Balenciaga is out of budget you can achieve a similar look for $4″ 247 fewer dollars.
