moroccan fashion blogger meelena wearing a military power shoulder jacket

Let me tell you the story behind this jacket...

I was driving with my mother when we saw NafNaf doing a clearance sale. We stopped to see if there was anything interesting in the store and I fell in love with this jacket (along with this other one that you have seen here). Unfortunately it was too big for me so I insisted for my mother to get it for herself. She wasn't feeling like bying anything for herself (aah mothers...) so I ended up getting it for me. Let me just tell you, I usually wear a size 36 up to 38 (or small) in jackets and this one is a size 40 !!!

Anyways, my way to wear it without looking ridiculous is by rolling up the sleeves, which makes the jacket instantly look more fitted.

Are you too a serial shopper like me with crazy compulsory purchases stories?
