MY STYLE FIX: LEATHER SLEEVE JACKET

Okay so for a while now I've been coveting a leather sleeve jacket like the one from Zara International. By now I'm sure you've seen it, or some version of it. I really love the look especially with the contrast of materials, but I wasn't really loving the price. I don't know about you, but I personally don't have a trust fund or a rich uncle, and for that I blame my shiftless middle class family. Yeah, I'm blaming them, because had they just worked 14 hour shifts instead of 12 hour shifts, holidays, AND weekends, I wouldn't be in this predicament. If you ask me they're selfish, and now I can't buy leather sleeve jackets or whatever my heart desires. First of all, I didn't even ask to be born let alone into a cruel leather sleeve jacketless world. Shame on them. Those monsters. 

Well, I'm all for turning lemons into lemonade. So, I went out and got myself a half dead Sugar Daddy! He barely has enough energy to breathe on his own let alone do the nasty dance with me, so I'm safe. Naahh!! I couldn't do that, at least not without a shit load of quaaludes running through my veins. Besides, just the thought of wrinkly old skin pressed up against mine is enough for me to stare clear of that path...for now. Hell, if things get any harder I'm willing to just lay there and go to my happy place. But for now, I'll make lemonade another way.  

What I decided was to wear a vest that I recently purchased over a leather jacket that I already owned. A few minor adjustments and in my opinion it's definitely similar to the leather sleeve trend that I initially wanted. Ideally, I would've preferred the khaki green color juxtaposed to the black leather sleeves, but for now I'll gladly stick with this one especially if it prevents me from having to swap fluid with some nasty old man.

I decided to pair my new creation with a stripped shirt, dark blue skinnies, and black booties. The best part is that most people will probably think that I bought this item with my trust fund money, but little do they know that I'm a broke chic just thinking outside the box. They also don't need to know that as a result I can breath a sigh of relieve and keep my lady parts to myself. It's a total win win.

Enjoy Your day! Thanks for stopping by<3
