I wore this outfit earlier on Tuesday to run into the city for a few hours.
Coat: Second hand/thrift. Check my YouTube video for my fave vintage finds! Jeans: Zara (DIY ripped). Jumper: Topshop. Bag: Chanel (found on eBay read this post).
This is a second hand coat that so reminds me of Anna Sui. It straddles that rock/retro line and as a woman in Starbucks said, it’s the right length. We both got into a conversation (while waiting for our drinks) about hating jackets that stop at the waist making us look like we have short torsos. I love how fashion can make two complete strangers get into this kind of deep discussion.
ps. I made another YouTube video about my absolute fave vintage finds. Click here to watch!
