Slashed army shirt by Balmain, $1,625.00 at Netaporter. Submitted by Joanna.  Balmain is getting a lot of shit for this top in the blog world.  As it should.  This is the sort of thing that just makes me ask HOW?  How was this shirt  designed by  Decarin (or more likely, one of his assistants). How was it OK’d by the owners of the historical couture brand and sent down the runway.  How was it was priced this high.  How did buyers from Netaporter and other retailers said, “yes, this is a good idea, let’s order it.”  How will any client look at this price and pay that for it.  This is no fantasy and exclusivity.  This is a fucking cotton shirt with rips.  Those rips look like a gasping face. It probably saw its price tag. View high resolution

Unisex wool military beret with badges, $40.00 at American Apparel. I am so excited that American Apparel is now issuing merit badges for hipsterdom.  Based on this blurry image, it appears this girl has received: the living in Portland, Oregon badge; the drinking imported beer badge; the being “so over Animal Collective” badge; the vegan badge; and the “I was featured in a group show in Echo Park” badge.

Day glo, military, tweed jacket by Marc Jacobs, $2,094.96 at Brown’s Fashion I love Marc, but sometimes he suffers from overworking a piece.  Combining a classic tweed jacket with neon elements and military embellishments is a hard order to fill.  In the end, it didn’t work out.

Lace camouflage coat by Semi-Couture, $1767.00 at Luisaviaroma. When the Bill O’Reilly and Glen Beck have nightmares about the possibility of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” being overturned, this is what they envision. On another note, camo and lace should never be mixed.  See if you can prove me wrong.
