HEAD GAMES
This sweater is one of three items that I purchased while I was briefly in New York last week. I just really bought it for the color. The quality of it is shit. Holes are appearing everywhere and it doesn’t help that all my jewelry seems to catch it, making aforementioned holes even BIGGER. Le sigh. I didn’t realize how blond my hair has become! Tinu–my friend who took these pictures–was saying that I’m the token BLOND one now! Hahahaha!
I bought this jacket off ebay like 3 years ago and to date, still remains one of my greatest and only ‘wins’ on the site. It’s a little on the small side, but just right for fitting over a slim sweater or better yet, a tank top! I spend so much time thrifting in Salvation Army that I rarely look on Ebay anymore. Who are your favorite eBay sellers? Tell me! Mine include: makimakivintage, indiecultvintage, Libra Vintage, Mama Stone Vintage, Noirohio Vintage, nina furfur vintage boutique (chanel bags), sistersoftheblackmoon, thriftwares….just to name a few!!!!

Lovin’ all the details in this outfit! I have a sweater that I love and everything catches on it. Drives me freaking up and down the wall. Hate when that happens. Whatever happened to quality control?!?!

Amazing outfit. And I also love the color of the jumpers. It match perfect with the color of your skin and the color of your hair I think. I don’t have favorite selers on ebay. Mostly I also go to a vintage shop or a thrift shop and find there the best things. Couple of days ago I found a vintage burberry trenchcoat. How amazing is that!

I love that sweater i almost bought one myself online, shame it’s poor quality though.
You hit the jackpot with yours, it’s perfect 
I too purchased a ‘vintage leather’ jacket from ebay only to find it wasn’t leather nor was it vintage! Put me off ever buying anything from there again. After 3 years i’m still searching for my perfect leather jacket

I noticed your hair looked a bit lighter. It’s beautiful. Usually on ebay I just go where the wind takes me. I’ll type in something like ‘cross’ and go from there.

I was JUST checking out that sweater on the TopShop site like an hour ago!! Sucks that it’s bad quality, maybe you could style it as though it’s supposed to be a torn and tattered sweater? Haha either way sucks that it’s new and falling apart.
The blonde looks great darling xo

i love that sweater, it looks so comfy…that sucks that the quality is so terrible though. i have a shirt that i love but the material is so delicate that it constantly snags on everything and now its full of runs…but i still wear it because i love it so much
your hair really is getting pretty blond, i never noticed it! are you planning on dying it or keeping it that way? it will look great either way

I actually like the blonde on you…so beautiful! And that sweater is great, even if the quality sucks…I couldn’t tell, at least! Never really taken a liking to buying stuff off of ebay as I hate the bidding process, I always just look at items which have a ‘buy it now’ price. Ha!

ummm your hair V…wow! wow! wow!
gotta love an eBay jacket that you get YEARS out of – now that’s a find! i don’t really have any fave sellers, i just search for random crap and buy from the best seller, lol!
and that’s so sad about the sweater because i not only really want this one, i just got another one in the mail. hopefully it doesn’t turn to shreads!
