Sweater Leather

I want my fall uniform to be a sweater dress and a leather jacket. Every day, all the time. When I like particular items a lot, I will buy and wear things that are either way too tight or way too loose to pull an outfit together. There is an insane Tim Gunn voiceover in my head going "MAKE IT WORK" as I am squeezing my bicep through a leather jacket sleeve that doesn't fit on my arm if it's bare, much less if I am actually wearing a shirt under that jacket I'm trying on. I have gotten so enamored with something, convinced that I can make it fit, I've gotten stuck in clothes in fitting rooms and had to have them cut or ripped off of me by clerks (in thrift stores). It's a pretty humiliating experience, especially as I am fairly small and they are like, "why did you need to put that on your body? You are small. That item is only 2 dollars anyways." Which is exactly why I stuffed myself into kid's size clothing. It's a vicious cycle. Anyways, I can't button this jacket and this dress has to be belted, but it's worth it, for the outfit.

There is nothing inside this purse. It's pure accessory.
