Well, to introduce you to another Zip-Up-Jacket I got at Urban Outfitters almost exactly 5 years ago. I barely wear it anymore, but it does have a background-story that goes along with.
In spring or late winter of 2005 someone broke into my car I parked at Rock Creek Park in NW Washington, D.C. It is not only that he/she stole my whole purse with my new camera, but they also got my wallet with all the important stuff I carry around with - Credit Cards, ID and worst of all my driver's license. With that evening started the most stressful hunt for a new driver's license I ever had. Since I never went to the DMV to get my US driver's license I always carried around my german and the international drivers license. With that being stolen I couldn't proof I ever even had one and the DMV wouldn't give me a substitute. Besides that - which was already a lot of hair-tearing - I got into real trouble with my host mom who wouldn't let me drive the car anymore - which is still comprehensible - and who wanted me to go to another family. So there was basically no support at all and I remember the days getting warmer and the trees becoming greener and I was sitting almost daily at the German Embassy, watching Harald Schmidt. But there was this absolutely helpful man who worked at the embassy and who could in a personal letter convince the DMV that they should give me the license. It worked and I think that was really one special thing. When everything was over, I had my licence and my host mom's trust back I wanted to treat me with something special and this was when I bought this Zip-Up-Jacket I had an eye on for months.
Well, next week, I promise: better picture, happier story.
