This little faux leopard jacket was a prototype design given to me by a designer in 2004. For 12 years it's been layered over black tie dresses, jeans, work out gear, and in this picture over a Maje dress + Louboutin heels. Not sure if I am more siked it's held up so long or that I still fit into it!
