Ah, the Leather jacket- a staple in every fashionista/o’s wardrobe. This fall, I acquired my first of the kind, and I haven’t taken it off since the temperature dropped to sixty degrees. Thus, when I was checking out the Joie fall 2015 ready-to-wear collection, I was thrilled to see the use of a leather jacket!  I was especially inspired by look 13’s feminine-meets-edgy pairing of the leather jacket with florals and booties. When I was brainstorming how to achieve this look in real life, I combined inspiration from J.Crew’s fall 2015 ready-to-wear collection. I was specifically enamored with looks 11 and 19. I’m a huge fan of basic jeans paired with a funky jacket and fun accessories.
To translate these looks off the runway and on to the streets, I paired my Lucky Brand leather jacket with a blue ruffled blouse, floral Free People jeans and Steve Madden boots. I also added Alex and Ani bracelets and my kate spade cross-body bag for my own personal touch! This outfit is perfect for classes and/or walking around campus during the day. To transition for night, I would swap out the boots for a nude heel! This look would also work with a pair of dark ripped jeans.
There’s an anonymous quote that reads, “I thought that my life would suddenly improve if I got a leather jacket, and I was literally 100 percent totally right.” Needless to say, I couldn’t agree more.
Get My Look: 1. Leather jacket. 2. Blue ruffled top. 3. Boots. 4. Cross-body bag. 5. Bracelets.
