Upon Lisa's urging, after looking at the Vogue street style pics from Fashion Week, I got my dad's jacket out. At least I think it was dad's! And not my mom's boyfriend before dad, who was also in the Navy (dad was in WWII and Korea).

It's definitely worn -- pilling, shoulders that have torn and been mended, even a cigarette burn on the back. But I guess that gives it the story and the authenticity, right?

So should I wear it? I just threw it on over the top and jeans I'm wearing today, so not really styled. No makeup yet, as I have not yet left the house, so don't look at my face.

ETA: It actually looks better on me than I expected it to!
