Paint Splatter Style on eBay

August 21, 2008 by WendyB

For people craving bleached-out jeans, this pair by Vertigo has a “buy it now” price of $72 on eBay.


Or, you can get a seriously sex-ay Versace dress for $278.


UPDATED TO ADD: A few gorgeous bloggers have created their own bleached-out jeans. Kirsty Lee at That’s Just My Vibe did a fantastic job.

Kirsty

She inspired Josephine at Aubergine to give it a try.

Nice work, wimmins! If anyone else has done this, let me know in the comments and I’ll add your picture.

UPDATED AGAIN TO ADD: If you want a bleached-out top instead of a bottom, check out Gnarlitude Jen’s find.

    The Versace dress reminds me of Lite Brite. Did you the other bow I mentioned? You’ve probably already seen it though. http://www.shopnastygal.com/-strse-450/Vintage-Clothing-Vintage-Dresses/Detail.bok

    She doesn’t look like she likes the dress much.

    Two strikes for me, but I’m sure they’ll both be brilliant on someone else!

    I love how you use “sex-ay”. You always make me chuckle when you do it.

    All I’m wondering is whatever is going on with the model’s knees, the one wearing the Versace dress?

    I can’t wait to make some jeans like that and dye them..!

    Lynette, you have an eye for details. Now I can stop looking at that.

    i don’t like paint spattered jean. i can just do that all by myself while oil painting.

    although I wouldn’t dream of getting them in my wardrobe it’s cool to see different styles popping up around the world!

    My eye is having a very hard time readjusting to high waisted jeans. I like Kirsty’s version much better.

    i am waiting to see a pair of flower-print jeans or leaf-print ones like the ones from the 80s. i had the leaf-print ones and they rocked. also, what about graffiti jeans?

    Didn’t Chloe Sevigny wear that Versace dress to an event and get eaten alive by the fashion press. . .?

  19. WendyB says

    August 22, 2008 at 7:51 am

    Etoilee8, really? I’d love to see a picture of that if anyone finds one. I really like the dress and would definitely wear it as long as none of my bits were falling out the top. Just goes to show you how uptight fashion people can be!
