Confessions of a Fashionista

I’d been on the hunt for a funky retro suit for a while so when I saw this checkered beauty in an online vintage shop I just had to snap it up. Whoa! The shoulder pads are insane, the fit of the jacket is, erm, questionable and the trousers were in need of a new zipper, whew!

Materials
