Just "Belt It"

CHECK OUT my new $5.00 yes, $5.00 CALVIN KLEIN Raincoat. I still can’t believe it. It is a zip front, waterproof, detachable hood, long sleeve, LINED raincoat. Color: cherry red, BRAND NEW with ORIGINAL tags. Sorry for all of the capitalization’s but I am still super excited. No damages, stains, odors or need for dry cleaning. Yay!

I found it in a box with other used coats. When scavenging at your local flea market; don’t let used items steer you away! This poor thing was in a pile of used outerwear just waiting to be rescued and given a new home. You NEVER know what you’re going to find if you just take the time to look!
It was my size however very non-conforming to my middle. In Lehman’s terms, I could totally wear this if I was ever pregnant. So, I tried it with different belts pictured here that I already owned. Make sure the excess fabric is distributed evenly beneath the belt. It turned pretty cute if I do say so myself. Over sized belts are great for this sort of thing. Large sweaters that are too long or baggy are great place for a large, funky belt as well just FYI.
It is still Flea Market season so check out your local market and let me know what you score!
