I’ve owned this faux leather jacket for about 7 years now. I used to wear it religiously, but when my style took a more soft turn, it ended up in the back of my closet (or packed in a box, rather). I’ve never been able to get rid of it though, just the same as I have never been able to get rid of my jean vest that I had cut the sleeves off of and then had my boyfriend at the time draw on the back of. They are both sentimental pieces and the only remaining items from my punk/goth days. I knew that even if I wasn’t really wearing this jacket, I would want to hold onto it. I’m telling you, finding a moto jacket like this was not easy, and it still feels just as relevant as it did back then, so I’m glad it has stayed with me all these years. I can’t say I’ll be pulling it out of my closet a ton this Fall, because it does feel very much like my former self, that of which I don’t really identify with anymore, but it was nice to bring one of my more sentimental pieces out of the darkness and share it with you guys.

I do love this outfit! It is quite different from what you usually wear, but you look just as beautiful in this! It’s a really cool jacket.

is it just me or is the shine of faux leather sometimes far better than real leather? Cute jacket. The skirt is amazing too. SO many buttons. Everything should have this many. x

Jackets like this are always in style so it’s good you held onto it! I think black leather jackets look good with nearly everything and give any outfit a slight edge. Yours looks so good with the button down skirt!

Love your hair! It’s making it awfully hard for me to stick to my resolution of growing my bangs out!
I also love how you incorporate basic white socks into so many outfits. Guess I need to go buy more socks now 😉
