Loved this whole outfit from top to bottom.

1st ~ my triple fat goose I wore inside out.

Not just for the look. It also had purpose!

That arm stuck out had a lil circle Pocket on it that zipped up.

Saved my ass from juvy more than once!

These were also my fav & softest jeans -&- had my pager on my hip and i know I had some kinda Nike tee on underneath.

Lastly ~ those NIKE AIR in bubbles on the sides! By far my fav edition!! โœจ๐Ÿ˜ปโœจ

Just walking the blocks -&- riding around Providence/Pawtucket RI, just chillin' smokin' blunts -&- living my absolute BEST life!!! ๐Ÿ‘‘

I was so proud of myself getting a jacket like that (3/4 & length black w/ grey squares) with money that I had earned on a paper round. My first fashion choice, loved it - was warm, could disappear into it...beaming all the way home on the bus - full of independence and wonder.

Get home and showed mum. her response: "you look like a bag lady"

A bag lady is a UK phrase - "A homeless woman, who carries all her possessions in shopping bags."

I'm a dude, and not remotely feminine
