Anytime I wear leather I feel like a rocker girl. Something about leather means "bad girl ready to take over." LOL. I have a funny story to accompany this lovely jacket. This jacket is a recent addition to my closet - like in the past 2 weeks addition - but I didn't buy it! I went home to visit my grandparents in DC a couple of weeks ago. My grandma is known to house old dresses and jackets from her 4 daughters - one of whom is my mom :-). I was browsing through items on the back porch and found this jacket. I grabbed the jacket, dusted it off and tried it on. What do you know - it fit! I walked downstairs to show my grandmother my find and she starts laughing. She says, "Oh you found YOUR old jacket." Then, I remembered, "WOW, this IS my jacket - I had this in HIGH SCHOOL!"  She was waiting to give it to someone, however she said it was too small for everyone who wanted it. Funny, right? It doesn't fit me quite the same considering that it doesn't really zipper close, but that's ok because I'll only wear it open. Have a rockin' weekend everyone!!!

  2. I love this look. I think it's my favorite so far! I really want a leather motorcyle jacket, but I can't bring myself to invest the money on it. I would make do with a knit motorcycle jacket, but haven't found one that I like at a reasonable price...
