The ones I love are way over my budget and the more affordable options just aren&#8217;t good enough. The changing season offers opportunities to set sale alerts on such pieces, and while prices do drop, it&#8217;s never been tempting enough for me to make the move. eBay to the rescue! I&#8217;ve found many gems on eBay and this one tops my list of major scores. It&#8217;s still a splurge piece, but well worth the investment. The leather is buttery soft and the silhouette is the perfect harmony of edgy and just a little whimsical thanks to the subtle peplum details. Spring is already on my mind, providing inspiration for the outfit below.
