Light as a Leather (Jacket)








Aviator Sunglasses (old, similar here) / Express Faux Leather Jacket (and one I'm coveting here!) / Boyfriend Denim Shorts (old, similar here) / Michael Stars Black and White Stripe Tee Shirt / Layering Rings / Lip Color / White Converse Shoes

Let's face it; in the Summer, we often have to store our favorite Fall jackets away until it's abrupt re-arrival in mid September. I know, it's illogical (and downright uncomfortable ) to break out your thickest fur jacket or heavy duty trench coat, but who's to say we can't break some of them out a little early? I'm talking about those simple layering jackets hanging out in your closet waiting for a little loving. Those jackets are perfect for cloudy or unpredictable summer days! Yes, your light trench coats, favorite staple blazers, and one I can't seem to be able to take off: the perfect (faux) leather jacket. This Express jacket (I call it my "LBJ") in particular not only goes with everything, but also gets complements left and right. I have yet to find an outfit it doesn't go with and a person who isn't infatuated with it. In fact, I'm even looking into purchasing a another one for it's quality and versatility. Quilting may play a minor role in that too, because, I mean, quilting - I just can't get enough.

What jackets are you thinking of breaking out early? Any particular way you plan to style it? Let me know in the comments!

  4. Love this look! I agree with you that leather jackets are super versatile and go with mostly everything. Yours looks great. Gotta break it in before Winter, right?
