I was really happy to re-wear this dress a couple of weekends ago, and even more happy that the weather was nice enough to allow me to pair it with my fave leather jacket. (Having that extra layer of cotton/cashmere came in handy. Those Club Monaco turtlenecks are gold, I tell you.) I wore this jacket to death last fall, and I’ve been missing it terribly ever since. You guys, I am so ready for spring to come. I know you’re probably sick of hearing that, and if you’re not then you will be by the time spring actually does arrive to this part of the world. But, oh, the struggle is real. I don’t want to see my wool coats again for a very long time.
Back to the outfit. There’s a lot of volume going on here, I know, but there’s also quite a bit of leg showing and, to be honest, some days I just don’t care about flattering proportions at all. This outfit feels great, billowing fabric and all. It is also quite a bit “louder” than my current work style, but I still like to mix things up from time to time. Never fear, I am not giving up my prints. And to convince you, I am prepared to wear them all at the same time. Oh yeah!
I love this look — the feminine blowsy dress and the ‘harder’ leather jacket looks so great together! =)
I like the contrast of girly and biker chic. I hear you about wanting spring (or in my case I want summer). too live in a cold climate. Our winter lasts longer than our summer. The problem is that our spring is really an extension of winter. It’s disgusting how many jackets and coats we all own here. Summer can’t come soon enough! Then when summer is over..you’re thinking…”That’s it?” Ugh…I need to move to Florida. On a happier note, love your ability to mix an match clothing!
I would second the move to Florida in a heartbeat … except that I hear they have various creepy crawlies (flying cockroaches?!). That’s one advantage of living in a place where the air hurts: no bugs for 6+ months out of the year.
I read that if you stand far from the wall you can avoid a shadow in pictures. 🙂
