WIW: Graphic Panther + Keep/Sell/Dye Caslon leather jacket?

Hello out there in YLF land! I have not been getting enough YLF fix lately, and I miss lollygagging about at work and chatting with you about fashion all day long... :)

#1 is not what I wore out to the swap meet and a movie today, but I just showed you that blue dress recently. Instead, this is what I wore tonight and another night this week. DH actually found this $5 F21 shirt for me at the flea market - a Christopher Kane knockoff, but I'm not worried about it all these years later, as someone who couldn't afford CK anyway.

#2 is a $5 Caslon nubuck leather jacket I found at the flea market this morning. It feels pretty good on, kind of a Jennifer Aniston vibe with the BF jeans, but how is the color? On the one hand, it feels nice and rugged, and I like how it contrasts with my dark hair. On the other hand... is it too close to Soul Sucking Beige? It doesn't sell well on Ebay, so I'd only make a small amount off it. I could dye it, but I have no idea what color... sour olive? sporty yellow? denim blue? maybe a cayenne red-orange?

WIW: Getting bossed around by the weather

Hair: wet from cool shower
Top: chosen for 50% linen fibre content - J Crew, flea market
Shorts: chosen because sundresses are now all dirty and the heat has me too lazy to do laundry - Old Navy
Sandals: max foot ventilation - Softspots
Bag: hopefully something bright and vibrant to distract from wilted and withered me! - Marc Jacobs, DIY restoration, flea market.

Dude, I'd forgotten how warm it can get here in Southern California... we've had two mild summers, and already I am completely desensitized. We went out to a couple flea markets today, and I ended up nauseous and ready to swoon like a damsel in a tight-laced corset! Plus, I miss my boots. I've been browsing boots online for days, as if my lizard brain thinks a boot purchase will bring boot weather. I have been good and not bought anything, but I will say I have my fingers crossed for a long, bitter cold spell... at least by CA standards. -_-
