Last week I popped into one of my favorite thrift stores and everywhere I turned was something amazing. The thrifting gods were smiling. I sifted quickly through a rack of clothing and came across the MOST awesome 80’s leather jacket. It was totally radical {if you’re an 80s kid, you’ll get the joke–if not, you think I’m a nerd–which I am.}
So I fell in love with this jacket. it had huge shoulder pads and ridiculously puffy sleeves. It looked a lot like this…
I bought it for $4, brought it home and immediately cut out the shoulder pads and cut off the sleeves. And I love it! I feel like Cindy in Can’t Buy Me Love. I love that movie.
I didn’t know I needed a short sleeve leather jacket. So glad it found me.
I cut the hem off these Levi’s too–most of my alterations are done with scissors.
These sandals took some breaking in–but now they are so comfortable!
Outfit details: Leather jacket, thrifted. Levi’s, {I cut these off too}, Amazon. Tank, Old Navy. Sandals, Frye. North Star Necklace, My Shop. Boho Wallet, My shop.
What’s your favorite 80’s movie?
Hi Lisa, a question about your jewellery. I have your ‘love, faith, hope’ pewter charm necklace from a few years ago. I was cleaning it and have broken the loop of the ‘hope’ charm. Do you have any individual ‘hope’ pieces left I could buy? I can’t see it on your website. (I live in the UK). Thanks! Natasha 🙂
You are so brave! I love that you alter your clothes with scissors. The results are stunning.

you are always the cutest, ever. Your wallet is on my shopping list- I recently purchased the purse and it is by far, my favorite bag (even ranks over designer bags in the cabinet!)…..I get compliments every time I am out and the constant question “WHERE did you find that bag?” xo
This. Is. Awesome.
Stay away from red wine when you’re wearing your new leather jacket…
