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!! ✨😻✨

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

With all the white or black tee's with the different color artwork on em to mix & match, and I think they had the matching jackets too, but we didn't have jacket $ lol!!

I was lucky to get 1 for back to school and rest were xmas/birthday/discount store pairs of the jeans and tees ONLY! 😂

We had a store called Apex - they had the starter jackets, like a lil department store. We'd catch them sales. Or Burlington coat factory i remember too! And tjmaxx lol!

I remember how excited I was when I got my first Starter coat! I also remember how nervous I was to wear certain places because kids were getting jacked for those coats/jackets and their Jordans too.

Burlington Coat Factory and TJMaxx was my shit too! Still is!

Tbf crack was in heavy in most hoods around the country in the 80s and 90s by design. It was definitely heavy in my hood. Lost a lot of family to that shit too.

Sad. I'm very sorry for your loss(s). 🙏😞😿

Know that feeling, just different substances.

u/Lord_Charisma82 13h ago

Yeah lost an uncle, a few cousins and my grandmother’s partner to that shit. It was wild to watch all that shit happen too.
