i pledge allegiance.

found this jacket a while back at forever 21.
it was in one of those outfits that they hang
on the front of the rack.
i was immediately drawn to its details and saw a tag with $9.99 written in bold red marker. i assumed it was for the shirt inside, but at close glance i saw that it was attached to the jacket. and it was a small.
of course, i tore apart the outfit, leaving the now sad-looking tee and necklace to fend for its own attention.
here's the jacket in patriotic form.

my current fave necklace...
a bday gift from the sister a couple years ago.
i usually have it on, no matter what else i layer on top of it.
(jacket & denim, f21; top, random l.a. store; necklace, (gift) folie folie)

$9.99?? great find! man, f21 has gotten more expensive these past few years. i mean, they are pretty inexpensive but sometimes the stuff i get rips easily :( but that coat looks like it will last you years! so congrats to the jacket! lol :) you look very pretty :)
