The thing about my Versace jacket

When H&M announced their collaboration with Versace a few seasons ago, I immediately fell in love with this jacket. It’s so completely over the top and sort of ugly that it’s almost pretty again. Also, the fabric is really, really soft, I can’t stop stroking it.
The thing about this over the top bomber is you either love it or you hate it. Most of the people I know, are part of the last category. But on the other hand, they praised me for daring to wear it (everyone gets that bad compliment once in a while: ‘It’s not something I would wear, but it’s perfect for you!’) Few others simply loved it the way I do.
So, if you can handle a lot of comments, you should definitely wear it. But there is a difficulty about this Versace piece. It’s really hard to combine. I’ve given it a lot of thought, and I came up with two possibilities. You can wear it with a simple boyfriend jeans, black All Stars and a basic white T-shirt. Or you can wear it with a black skinny pants, simple black T-shirt and black boots, high heeled (but not too high) or biker boots. Every other combination is simply too much and makes you look like a crazy circusclown or the slutty type of girl.
Tell me, would you wear it? And how would combine this jacket?

And it is kind of hideous, but at the same time so fabulous! Why isn’t there a word for that?
