Dupli-CAUGHT: Vivienne Westwood vs. Urban Outfitters

Vivienne Westwood Armour Ring vs.
Urban Outfitters Armor Plate Knuckle Ring
Being obsessed with knuckle rings naturally I fell in love with this armour ring from Vivienne Westwood (left). I've been eying this piece for seasons, so when I saw the ring (right) for $24 by the checkout line at Urban Outfitters, I immediately thought to myself, "Dupli-CAUGHT!"

I love Vivienne Westwood ring for being a bold statement piece, and what I love most about it is how the shiny silver really resembles a knight's armor.

Now Wearing...

Cream blouse - American Vintage, not actually vintage, it's a French clothing line manufactured in Europe
Beaded cardigan - vintage, one of my first vintage purchases from back in high school
Multi-chain necklace - vintage
Twill pants - GoldSign
Black socks - Target
Jelly flats - Vivienne Westwood Anglomania for Melissa

The weather forecast said rain today, so I wore my new Melissa flats. I could have worn my rain boots, but I was eager to wear my new shoes, which I found at Akira in Chicago. You may remember Melissa from a previous post. The pair I found was a Vivienne Westwood Anglomania collaboration, $145 retail, and I found them marked down for only $45, almost 70% off!
