Dear Jean Jacket from High School…..

Dear Jean Jacket that I’ve had since high school,

You have served me well these past 15 years.

I have worn you to countless classes, movies, nights out with friends, dates with cute boys, Sunday mornings at church, and school functions.

You have been patiently waiting in my closet for the past 10 years for a chance to get out and about again. Luckily for both of us, I kept you around.

And now you are back in style…and just as good as I remembered.

Except now my hair isn’t as poofy and my eyebrows are a little thicker. Other parts of me are probably thicker too….but you still fit.

love,
the no-longer-16-year-old-but-still-loves-her-jean-jacket-julie

    You are gorgeous, and I love how you kept the jacket. I have a pair of jeans from high school and every time I wear them, I think of all of the fun times 🙂

    I love that you still have your jean jacket & that they've come back in style! & How awesome you still fit in it! I know for sure that I wouldn't fit in mine from HS! LOL! Also, have you seen the sunflower print floating around again!?! Eeek!

    I ended up getting rid of mine because it was size HUGE, but I got a replacement about 5 years ago at LOFT and I barely recognize myself without it. I wear it constantly!

    This is awesome! Makes me want to find my old jean jacket too! Hopefully it'll fit – well, once I have this baby. Nothing fits right now. You look fabulous!
