I couldn't wait to wear this new-to-me vintage Jean Paul Gaultier top. This is up there with my long-ago $3.99 Prada top (here, from 2010) for Best Thrift Ever.
- Top - Jean Paul Gaultier, vintage 90s, thrifted; purchased here for $6.95
- Skirt - Ports 1961, thrifted; last worn here in May 2022 for a Mom-Day at Abkhazi Gardens
- Shoes - Sol Sana; last seen here (2nd outfit) just over a week ago to the theatre
- Thermoplastic jacket (below) - Adidas X Fiorucci, consignment; last worn here (4th outfit) to see a movie in April
I wore a camisole under it as it's rather boobtastic otherwise. You can just glimpse the peek of stripes along the front and back V-neckline - same fabric as the rolled-up sleeve lining.
I can picture it off-the-shoulder with a red lacy bra hanging out - it's very much that late 90s/early 00s worn-with-low-rise jeans vibe.
Ah, those were fun times, but that's not my style anymore (and it wasn't then).
Red really pops against it.
I ended up chilled in the office and wore my thermoplastic jacket for most of the day.
Incognito.
I discovered that this jacket is excellent against strong winds as I walked home. It also heated up in the sun.
The stuff:
The Gaultier top has more of a cream than a pure white, which is why I did these shoes. Plus I love them, duh.
Tri-colour bling:
I had to take the bracelets off to put on or remove the jacket.
- Crystal heart pendant - found
- Red/black Bakelite cuff - vintage 60s, gift from L
- Black/white cuff - vintage, vintage fair
- Silver/red enamel ring - antique store, Sidney
- Silver balls ring - Sidney
- Earrings - thrifted
Skirt with pockets, top with pizzazz, shoes with polka dots and a red jacket that pops! Ooo La La, I love the entire ensemble! I am ooo-ing and ahh-ing from NY!
ReplyDeleteCheers, Laurie
Thanks so much, Laurie!
DeleteI love that jacket with the outfit - and bonus that it warms up in the sun so it's a practical choice on a sunny but cold day! It's great you love this new to you top because you wear it so well :)
ReplyDeleteMe too, Mica! Plastic clothing is new to me, so finding out when it's good to wear is crucial!
