Would you believe me if I told you I've been on the hunt for this jacket for close to two years?
When Oak + Fort discontinued this jacket I was devastated because I didn't have the coin to cop one. Now here I was, 2019, and considering buying the Levis version, which costs $200, but still having hope and constantly checking Depop, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace. The second hand stars must have aligned because I found a post selling the Oak + Fort Sherpa Jacket 1655, size Small, posted literally seconds ago. I jumped on it and send the seller a message, and by the time she replied she said she'd received over a dozen messages about the jacket but mine was first! It's in brand new condition, she said she wore it 2 or 3 times, and I bought it for $70. It's incredibly warm, cozy, and feels like I'm walking around with a blanket wrapped around me at all times. Worth every penny.
I decided to pair it with a thrifted Forever 21 turtleneck knit sweater, my loose Uniqlo jeans (layered with thermal leggings underneath of course), my Old Skool Vans, and these really dainty geometric hoop Oak + Fort 2433 earrings! And two space buns for my hair - this was before the windchill dropped to absurd negatives. The lipstick is Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint Longwear Fluid Lip Color in the colour Uncuffed.
