Should I buy this jacket?

Suddenly, after hating the way leather jackets look for my whole life, I want one. Obviously this isn't real leather but it feels soft and I was walking past it today and suddenly wanted to buy it. I am sort of afraid that if I buy it, I'll never wear it. I don't like wearing things that look masculine. I don't know why, because I like the way kind-of-masculine things look on other girls. But I have a little vest that I never wear so I have a feeling I may not wear this jacket if I buy it. It's not very expensive, and it is really warm, so I'm not sure. Thuy doesn't like it. Do you like it?

-It's warm
-It's not expensive
-It's not my style
-I like it a lot
-I might never really wear it

Do you ever notice how some people act like how you'd expect them to act based on what they're wearing? I think that sometimes people act a certain way because their outfit makes them feel like they should. This might seem pointless and ridiculous (and it is pointless, but it's also true so keep reading if you're interested) but check out this particular Facehunter fashion post. The second girl looks coy and pretty and her outfit is, too. The third girl looks innocent and her outfit as as sweet as her face in that too-cute expression. The girl in the hat is obviously smoking; you couldn't imagin her doing any other pose in that 1930s style outfit. Of course the green gloves make that girl do a weird pose. Etcetera. I usually do silly hand motions or point to things or hold things in pictures because I don't really know what to do with my hands. But I just noticed that in this jacket, I'm just standing there. No silliness. I think it's because of the jacket. Just an aside.

I think it's really cute! Not too masculine at all.

I would say YES but last time you asked for opinions on clothing, you didn't listen to mine ;D I love that jacket though, it is beautiful.

One time my big brother got a mullet and then all he wanted to do is walk around and "clothe-line" people for no appearent reason.

If that jacket turns you into a bully, please do buy it! It will inspire me with great writing matterial!

And, if you find yourself to be the same person when you wear it, buy it all the same! Just in case, you know....

You never know when you will start being someone you don't want to be. Then it will be a good thing that great jacket to bring you back to your good ol' self! Its like an anchor.

And that jacket looks really good on you!

Gala, it wasn't that I didn't listen. In fact I went back just to try it on with a belt like you suggested in your comment. It was helpful. But unfo9rtunately the thing looked too much like a nightie, even with a cardigan over it. And I'm glad I didn't get it. This time though. I got the jacket.
