I am really excited to share my new BALMAIN I mean Missguided jacket and in fact head to toe look, minus the bag but it wouldn’t be a Chouquette outfit without a Chanel bag. As you know I am a believer in highstreet clothes because I spend all my money on Chanel bags but I do have a weakness for Balmain jackets. It has nothing to do with Balmain in the way I am obsessed with Chanel it is simply because their jackets fit amazingly. WELL LOOK NO FURTHER I have found us all a solution!!
I have been wearing Missguided for years and always shopping on there to mix and match some pieces. Th other day I saw this jacket and of course clicked buy in a mini second. Then I found the asymmetrical top, which by the way kept saying sold out so I obsessed about it checking everyday until my size came it. I decided to look for white ripped jeans as I can’t find the perfect pair. I found these and thought I will send them back if they look cheap and transparent. I then finished the look with a pair of white shoes as I didn’t want to spend money on designer pair. I finished the look off with black, grey and white scarf that reminded me of my Charlotte Simone popsicle. I really want another popsicle in a neutral colour but cart afford it so this was the perfect alternative.
When my order arrived I was so happy because the jacket really was amazing and has that stiff structure that Balmain has. The fabric is faux leather but it has a matte, de stressed texture to it so it appears more like leather and not shiny plastic. It also comes in black HERE. I am obsessed with the top and this is the kind of thing I would buy in other high street stores for double the price and the same goes for the scarf; it’s really thick and fluffy. The jeans were my next surprise as they were thick denim fabric not that denim look I thought they would be. I also love the high waist because they suck me in 🙂 The shoes finished off my winter look and I am glad I did not spend a fortune of white strappy sandals. You can’t see in the photos but they are matte croc moc and really nice in real life.
My whole look (bag excluded) cost around £130. When you compare this to how much my popsicle or Balmain jacket cost it’s pretty impressive. I would advise to buy small sizes as I found everything ran slightly big, usually I buy big in Missguided but for me the sizes have changed slightly.

Hi Claire !! I love your Instagram, Snapchat (you always make me laugh), and blog and also am a HUGE fan of Chanel!

I would REALLY appreciate it! Thank you in advance!
