Leather motorcycle jacket and over the knee boots

Outfit Details:

Coach Shadow Crossbody in pieced leather and motorcycle jacket (c/o)

Over the knee boots (from out-of-business C Wonder)

I wasn’t originally planning on going vintage shopping, or else I would’ve worn something very different. If I’m planning on trying on a lot of clothing, I have a sort of go-to outfit: a button down shirt or dress (so I’m not constantly pulling it over my head), and slip on shoes. A heavy leather motorcycle jacket, over the knee boots and a turtleneck sweater dress are just about the worst things to wear, when you’re trying on clothing, but I can’t pass by a vintage shop without stopping in. This one, No Relation Vintage in Gowanus, is a favorite of mine. The prices are low and they have a ton of stock. It’s rare that I leave without something, whether it’s a vintage Coach bag or a sixties mini dress. If you find yourself in that part of Brooklyn, check it out – and then head down the street for ice cream at Ample Hills. I may or may not be a regular at both…
