When a Christmas Gift Goes Wrong...

Hello all! Happy Monday! 

So, I have a bit of a funny story behind this look. I actually got this jacket for my sister for Christmas. She's a big Charlotte FC fan and I thought she would enjoy it! On the site, it looked like the jacket had studs, which I was a tiny bit unsure of as my sister and I have very differing styles. Hers is much more laid back than mine. But I thought the studs would be alright. Admittedly I probably would have done better to just go with a sweatshirt, but none of them really stuck out to me. 

But as it turned out, when I got the jacket, it was not studs but rhinestones. I was pretty sure my sister would not love that. She is definitely not a rhinestone girlie. 

Another piece to this is that I actually got my shopping done early because I started earlier. Which on one hand was nice, but on the other hand it gives me more time to lose receipts -which I did with this jacket. So, then I was left with the option of either trying to sell it, or style it. 

Ya'll can see which path I chose. 

I still may sell it, but I did want to at least try it out! I do kind of like it, so I may keep it after all and see what else I can come up with. But I am about to embark on a big closet clean out too so... we shall see! 

But this look did speak to me a bit! Black and white, with pops of varying shades of pink. Plus, my Kurt Gieger lookalike, they all made for a fun look. Half sporty, half maximalist, 100 percent me! 

Side not, this jacket was a wildcard gift. Just something I saw and thought my sister might like, not something she'd actually asked for. But I did also get her two other gifts that were on her Christmas list. So, it was not a complete bust on my part! And her reaction when she opened it was priceless! Pure confusion and lots of laughter! xD 

Thanks for reading! And have a great week ahead!
