alive not dead

A light washed-out cropped denim jacket from Diesel has been sitting in my wardrobe for the longest time. No actually, it has been sunning itself out on the back of my office chair for a year before I brought it home to hibernate in the wardrobe. It came in handy whenever the office air-con's too chilly for me to bear. Then I had no choice but to bring it home when we moved to a new office space.

I used to wear it with black blouse and pencil skirt to 'casualise' an otherwise solemn all-black outfit. It was a great combi but soon it became boring and predictable.

Once, an essential item at its 'peak of fame' during the early 90's is now lost and forgotten in a sea of other more attractive outfits. Strangely, this denim jacket gives me an alternate comfort (and warmth for that matter) which no other jackets/jumpers/sweaters could offer. So I'm now looking for ways to breathe some life into this jacket.

But I'm so not going to piece this denim jacket with a pair of jeans to look like this:
No.Way.

I'll rumble through my wardrobe to whip up some inspiration. This shall be my weekend project. =)
