Jacket? Vintage, thrifted Jeans? h&m, thrifted Pumps? Ralph Lauren
Necklace? Thrifted Bag? Thrifted
I found this mint vintage jacket for $4 at the thrift store. Based on the prices on all the other jackets on the same rack, I would assume that it was either priced wrong or someone thought it was so ugly that only a $4 price would get it out of the store. That happens sometimes when good vintage gets priced absurdly low because it's not Gap or American Eagle and is therefore weird and unworthy. And when that happens it's actually a beautiful thing...
I've only had the jacket for a few days and I have already worn it all buttoned up as a dress and now again casually with some beat-up denim. I am quite happy with this purchase.
And based on the fact that I slung the jacket over a rack at a vintage store the other day (big mistake, don't do this...) and someone else admired it and tried it on without me even noticing, I would say I have at least two people who agree that this jacket is a beauty. The other person is my mom. She told me that she doesn't always love all of my fashion choices but this one was a good one. Mother approved. Bam.
(The vintage store I was at was Netty Vintage in Brantford, it is my favourite vintage place... Sadly, Netty is closing its doors on Oct. 31st so you should go soon to get some amazing (really) deals and to say hey to Jacqueline, who is a top notch lady!)

YES!!!! i love everything about this.
Ahhhh! That jacket is Ah-Mahzing! I love when wacky vintage things are super cheap for no reason (and it happends ALL THE TIME at the thrift store - I'll never understand.)
That jacket is simply amazing!
Amazing!!!!
I think the biggest jealousy I have for people who live in/near a city is the fact that they have the option to find amazing thrifted treasures!! In the past when I went to a city my mission was to hit up as many Malls as possible, now it's to find as many hidden treasures as possible!
Oh my goodness I mega super duper love the jacket and how you styled it as well! You are my thrifting hero!
Fabulous outfit!! xo
Oh man, that certainly is the absolute best when that happens! That is why I head to the Mennonite/church thrift stores - those little old ladies, while fabulous, don't always think that we "youngins" will appreciate the vintage, thus price it super low.
And that jacket certainly is wonderful - you'll have to show us how it is at a dress.

I'm sure geriatric designers the world over would be very happy to learn the art of a well-designed item of clothing is not lost on you. What a fantastic coat you scooped up.
The jacket of the season for me has to be the Bomber Jacket. i love this jacket so much!!! I always get questions where i get it from and I'm glad to get it from Famous movie jackets. They have huge variety of leatherjackets, Vintage jackets, movies jackets and lots of more.
