COAST CAT

 *vintage leopard print coat, vintage harley davidson t-shirt, thrifted maurie & eve boots, vintage sunnies, vanessa mooney turquoise bracelet

i found this vintage coat today for tunnel vision, but to be honest, i have been grappling with whether or not to keep it for myself all day. my DAD told me that i would be stupid to sell it (my dad wears a ripped up denim shirt, ripped up Levi's, and boots every single day of his life). my dad also said he bets a "vegas gangster" once wore it. i absolutely agree with both of those sentiments, but the vintage seller in me so desperately wants to sell it. there's also another part of me that wants to hem it into motorcycle jacket length. CAN YOU EVEN IMAGINE THAT? I CAN. AND IT MAKES ME WANT TO CRY. okay i think i just talked myself into keeping it while typing this. i'm sorry, madeline. i'm really sorry.

I don't blame you at all! I'm the same way with my vintage and custom things I find or create. Sometimes it's hard to let go of something you develop a connection with haha :)

And I also think the moto jacket idea would be amazing :D
