I've just revisited this thread because I'm that intrigued with this piece. Too bad shipping to the US is so expensive -- the piece itself is not expensive, though. Well, I'm almost through the entire month of January without purchasing anything fashion related, so I'm sure I can wait a bit longer and see if it sticks with me. Considering my outfits the last few days have been of the snow-bound/snow-shoveling variety, I'm not exactly burning through my fab wardrobe at the moment anyway!
