{Thrifted Studded Suede Jacket / Black T-shirt ~ Target / Trousers ~ Style & Co via Macy's / Vintage Gold Earrings and Chain Belt /
Suede Booties ~ Steve Madden}
I picked up this gorgeous purple suede jacket at my favorite thrift store in July. As soon as I saw the the color and the studs, my heart skipped a beat; I was IN LOVE. And the price tag? $6.00. SOLD!
...but there was one problem. After seeing the size on the tag, disappointment set in. There was no way in HELL I was fitting into an XS! But I knew I had to try. You just never know.
... I said a silent prayer and slid my arms in. They went in! And I loved it so much, it didn't even matter that I couldn't zip it. I knew I would be wearing it open, cardigan style, lol. :)
Bottom line, and my motto while shopping: Give it a try, it might work!
Popping it on today with this {all black everything} ensemble made my Monday just a little better. Just a little. Oh, how I despise a Monday.
Thanks for reading! xoxoxo!

I love it. The studs are so surprising and that color is LUSH and looks marvelous with the warm and rich tones of the leaves. Such a pretty pairing, and you ... radiant as always.
