    Such a great video! I just recently discovered Dunst as well, via ssense (they have some nice leather bombers too) your chore jacket looks so good! I am determined to not buy a chore/barn jacket just because I know how short our Fall is here in Ontario, we go straight to winter and I also did buy a trench this year, so I really relate to you in that regard. I love how thoughtful your wishlist is!

    Honestly if you can’t get the money you paid for the jacket you should just keep it because it does look great on you and I feel like it is different between the men’s jacket and the trench coat. It kind of reminds me of a feminine utility jacket

    I was a stay at Home mom with no money in my IRA or any savings of my own, which was scary at 43 years of age. Three years ago I got a part time job and save everything I make. After 3 years, I am 46 yo and have put $9,000 in an IRA and $40,000 in my portfolio with CFA, Kathie Daisy Bosco. Since the goal of getting a job was to invest for retirement and NOT up my lifestyle, I was able to scale this quickly to $150,000. If I can do this in a year, anyone can.
