From the Temple of Doom

Following up on a previous post about how I discovered this Indiana Jones inspired  leather bomber on mega-clearance at the FCUK store the other day, I decided to take a break from my Goth phase to showcase my new leather treasure.

So from the Temple of Doom, I emerged today wearing the bomber with cords, shearling boots and a cashmere sweater. A sling bag was thrown in for effect to give the sense that I may have a crystal skull and a lasso hidden in my bag. In reality, I was carrying a Healthy Choice microwavable meal, work folders and granola bars in case I get lost in the midtown jungle.

In the last minute, I ditched the scarf at home and went native. The scarf was trying too hard and Indy doesn't try. And when I zipped up the jacket, the tucked in scarf made it look like I was packing a gut full of skulls.

YES
I'm tad obsessive about something fun and new to wear. At the end of the day it is just a leather jacket.

NO
A fedora isn't necessary to complete the look. It's not Halloween and I'm not really an archaeologist.

MAYBE
You're a real life treasure hunter or your name is Crocodile Dundee or you have a hit show on the History Channel. To all of you, I give you credit for making this look possible.
