What would I do without the Shop Till You Drop publication?
Given a $300 version of the following Balmain outfit (hey, its our winter now, and this outfit will never be out for me), I was struck by how fantastically identical the doppelganger pants were. Where from?
Mink Pink of course.
Actual Balmain outfit (Autumn/Winter 08)
So when I went hunting on the internet I found even more Mink Pink goodness (that is aptly reasonably priced, given the GFC*):
Hello, beautiful dress, be mine! ($49)
even cooler jeans than the cropped Balmain-esque ones; the skinnies ($69)
mmmm, uber cool wolf tee ($35)
the sleepwalker tank, asymmetrical goodness ($29)
and these awesome leggings. Umm, I want the boots too?!
On a side note, the holey sweater in the above frame?
I ordered the black version off the Freez website.
Seriously, love it. Too much:
Exhibit A: Ripped to shreds takes on a punk persona

sweater, mink pink from freez. sheer tank, vintage. leggings, big w kids section. boots, shoobiz. leather gauntlet, goth shop. bag, vintage.

Very "Neo Punk aesthetic", just like "the authentic roots of Destroy CHIC" !!! I especially like the Dark transparencies of your top, strongly SEXY . . .

Balmain is way to overpriced thoguh :/
OMG! those balmain pants!! gorgeous! and you do your own version so well! that sweater is just so hot. sssizzlin! too bad its too hot where we are...:( well, maybe in a few months...

I love your jumper! The shredding isn't too extreme either, I think brands can go too far and it just looks messy but this is very well made.
And woahh at those leggings.
Also I love Balmain but I swear £1000 for a pair of jeans is pushing it... surely even Chanel would not charge that much!
I rely on mink pink for my poor uni student needs! They always come through. I've been hunting for that shredded sweater everywhere but no luck yet...freez seems to have sold out because it's no longer on the site :( Oh well, you pull it off great!
I love your post! Awesome :)

Wow, amazing finds!
I love the shredded jumper you ordered! It looks great with the plaid leggings =]!
love this down-to-earth interpretation of balmain, the sweater is so great with the plaid!
thanks for dropping by... sad to hear about your target experience. there are 3 target stores close to my area and i can't complain.
i am longing for that wolf shirt!

You are rocking the punk look! That white tank is wonderful.
i love your sweater. and the shredded dress is just crazy!
awesome outfit, very badass!
gotta love ya mag sources. heads up for Mink Pink. Gonna check it out. =P
I sell the wolf tee at my work, it's been very popular! The first black dress hasn't been doing well though, we've reduced it already - people just don't get it =(. Looove Minkpink
