Animal Instinct

by Celina[zilla_likes]

Those of you who have followed my blog for a while know that I have a penchant for wild clothes. If it looks like something no one should ever wear, I probably own it. So when I spotted this purple mohair embellished jacket in a Parisian thrift store, I had to have it. I’m fairly certain it was owned by a pimp before me, but wow is it fabulous.
