This post is going to be short, sweet, and to the point. Despite the shortness of the post, it is my biggest and best secret about budget shopping. This secret is also about my favorite statement piece; my trusty leather jacket. It is no secret that a real leather jacket is expensive, and fake leather just doesn’t look that great. So, here is the secret to finding the most badass and multi-functional staple piece your closet will ever have.
In 2015 I met a woman who frequently rocked a badass leather jacket, and I asked where she got it; she promptly told me Wilson’s leather. Of course I was familiar with this place, but I never went in because I couldn’t afford it. Before I moved on from her answer she simply said: “I bought this jacket in July and it was 70% off.” The second she said that I was like:

She told me this information in January and I waited for as long as I could…May. I went to my local mall which happened to have a Wilson’s Leather Outlet AKA bonus savings! I searched for the perfect jacket that was within my budget. After a few trials, I found it. This jacket was not only on sale at an outlet mall, but it had an extra sale because they were trying to get rid of the jackets. It was perfect and fit like a glove. To this day it is my favorite piece in my closet.

Now get out there and find your jacket!
