Bella's Plaid Shirt Alternatives

Bella wears the Heritage 1981 plaid shirt in Eclipse (when she asks Jacob to kiss her). I can't get my hands on the original exact shirt, so I have been picking up close alternatives when I come across them.

Below are my Alternatives to the Heritage 1981Plaid top. The first shirt is from an awesome seller (who I originally found through ebay, but then she sold some other clothes to me privately... What a champion!) This shirt is by Aqua Blues, and it is one of my most loved tops. I think the original owner said she loved it too... It is 3/4 sleeve, a little small, but I wear it open over a thermal and it's great!

This is another alternative I found. It is by Forever 21. It has long sleeves, but I can just roll them up to be 3/4's.

My New Jackets!

My Lole Amazone 2 Jacket- I am not sure if this is the exact colour or not. It's a bad photo the colour is a lot lighter (see posts further down for more accurate colour display...), and appears to be the same colour as Bella's. Bella wears this Jacket in Eclipse (in Redwood Colour)- I got mine from ebay- new with tags, but silly me cut off the tags and forgot to see if it was an exact colour match... haha... 

If you are thinking about buying this jacket online, i would totally recommend going a size up as they run quite small. Also, it is quite a thin jacket, and so if you get the next size up from your usual size, you can wear a hoodie or other layers underneath it...It is quite a fitted jacket.

The Billabong Hannah Jacket. 

I have this jacket in Charcoal Grey- which i think is the same colour as Bella's. I have this Jacket in a size Large and a size XLarge. The reason I have two of the same jacket, is because the jacket runs small- and so I thought I would need an XL. But then that was slightly too big, so the Large fits me better. I scored the XL from an amazing seller first and wore it a few times, and they came across the Large on ebay and snapped that up in a separate transaction. I will be selling the XL- it will come 'third-hand' so to speak. But is in excellent condition- no holes, rips or stains!

I wasn't going to list this jacket. But then I thought "what the heck, it's a pretty good alternative..." I think... 

Bella wears the American Eagle Bomber Jacket and also has a TNA Canvas Maverick Bomber Jacket in Eclipse-

I couldn't get my hands on the exact bomber jackets unfortunately. There was one going on ebay, but it was a few hundred dollars... and so I purchased this jacket (directly below) as an alternative. I got the idea from someone on Facebook who said they thought the Hollister Bomber Jacket (in Faria gray) was a pretty good alternative... And I totally agree (So thank you and props to the person who spotted this!)

The Hollister bomber was so much cheaper! It originally came with a fake-fur lined hood- but the fur is 100% removable (detaches right off the hood- while the hood stays on). The jacket has a zip and buttons up the front, and cute plaid lining on the inside... Unfortunately, the back of the jacket has a bow... which you can't really cut off (unless you know what you're doing/ a tailor/ have a really awesome mum who can sow)... The other thing about this jacket, is it is really warm, but quite short.

Lole Jacket

Below: I purchased the Lole Jacket from ebay, but am still waiting for it to arrive. Postal service from USA to Australia takes anywhere between 10-30 working days...sigh...

Ae Bomber Jacket

Below: I had some issues trying to get hold of the Ae Bomber Jacket. It was always very expensive, unsuitable sizing, or could not be shipped to Australia (from USA). So I found this relatively cheap alternative on ebay from Hollister (in grey). It has a similar 'zip and button' up style as the original jacket.

Plaid Shirts

Below: The first plaid shirt (Forever 21) I purchased from ebay, but I am still waiting for it to arrive. It looks similar to the Eclipse shirt (when Bella is on the mountain asks Jake to kiss her), except it has longer sleeves. 

The second plaid shirt is dark purple...I totally regret buying this shirt.

The third plaid shirt is red and grey and looks similar to the red plaid Hollister shirt from Eclipse- when Edward and Bella are making out. I got this shirt from Target.

Accessories

Goody Stay-Put Headbands- Bella wears these throughout Twilight. I got a set f 5 from ebay.

Long Gloves-  Bella wears hers in the "almost" car accident scene in Twilight. I got mine from ebay.

Jansport Backpack- Bella's school bag/backpack is my most utilised item. I take mine to uni. It's a really great bag, and some people have even noticed it's from twilight and said "Oh you have Bella's bag!"I got mine from Amazon.

The Eclipse Beanie- Bella wears this beanie in Eclipse, when she goes up to camp in the mountains to avoid the new- The ebay seller who sold the gloves also sold this beanie (different times, separate transactions).
