'Silver Linings Playbook' costumes up for auction
Clothes being auctioned off by Nate D. Sanders Auctions in LA
You might not have Jennifer Lawrence's Oscar-winning talent, but maybe with the right outfit you can convince yourself you do.
Lawrence's costumes from "Silver Linings Playbook" are currently up for auction, along with some of the items worn by her co-star, Bradley Cooper.
The clothes are being auctioned off by Nate D. Sanders Auctions in Los Angeles, which will wrap up bidding on Thursday at 5 p.m. PST.
Items available include a black wool coat from Moda International that Lawrence's character, Tiffany, wore in the David O. Russell film. Bidding on the piece of outerwear started at $100, but at the time of this post the largest bid was hovering near $1,500.
The same goes for a blue racerback sports bra and long-sleeved T-shirt that Lawrence wore; bids on that set of items are now around $1,350.
Bids for Cooper's costumes, meanwhile, aren't nearly as high. A crewneck gray sweatshirt has a single bid for the minimum $100, while a gray hooded sweatshirt has 3 bids, with the highest being $163.

You invest in cosmetics to create the perfect look, but the beauty tools you use are just as important as your makeup. In fact, the right makeup tools can leave you with a natural, long-lasting look every day. There is no shortage of beauty makeup tools, so you can find just what you're looking for to perfect your look.
Your makeup look starts with foundation or base, and you can apply these products evenly with sponges. Highlight your cheekbones with blush, which can give your skin the perfect pop of color when it's applied with the right brush. Whether you want to create a neutral eye for work or a sultry look for the evening, a set of eye shadow brushes are essential as well.
Makeup beauty tools such as scissors and tweezers help you achieve perfectly shaped eyebrows that truly frame your face. Keep your eyebrows maintained with brow stencils and your eyeliners in top form with sharpeners. Create the illusion of long lashes before you apply makeup with lash curlers.
A complete beauty routine requires more than just makeup. It also requires makeup beauty tools that allow you to apply your cosmetics like a pro. You've made the investment in your cosmetics. Maximize their effectiveness—and your beauty—with makeup beauty tools.
