camouflage jacket









One of my main things on my to-do list while in Miami for Christmas was to hit some thrift shops and that I did! I bought my camouflage jacket at a thrift store for $5. I really hate that I only bought one! :( While at the store I fell in LOVE with a vintage Louis Vuitton bag but I had to walk away...slowly, sad, but with money in my pocket! I had to tell myself it was going toward my future rent money in LA. 

My jacket was HUGE, a men's size large, so I recycled it! Originally it had long sleeves going 5 inches past my fingertips,and it was super wide and long. I cut the sleeves then under cuffed them.  I took the sides in, and  cut 6 inches off of the bottom! The Mickey Mouse crop top was a huge sweatshirt I've had forever so I cut it into a stylish urban crop top! Y'all know my bargains. This one had to be my leather shorts. They were $5 at Target last month!
