This cropped denim jacket from the 80s was given to me after my aunt passed away, and it feels like a small piece of her world that I get to hold onto. The style is unmistakably vintage-slightly structured, perfectly faded, and full of that effortless charm that only older pieces have. Every detail, from the stitching to the worn edges, carries a sense of history and personality, like its lived a whole life before reaching me.

Wearing it makes me feel connected to her in a way that’s both comforting and bittersweet. It’s more than just a jacket; it’s a reminder of her taste, her energy, and the way she carried herself. Whether I pair it with something casual or dress it up, it always feels special-like I’m honoring her memory in a quiet, everyday way.
