This October lineup has some repeats from last month, and a bunch of things that have been used for several seasons now, all helped along in being awesomer with one addition, a big splurge thanks to my partnership with Shopbop: a leather jacket! Rather excited about this one, because I'm always on the lookout for what can make my outfits more cool for going out - and what's cooler than a leather moto jacket?
For starters, it was the perfect way to take my striped dress from day to night for the transition from my recent afternoon of walking around at Art Prize to the evening wine bar reception. Snazzy, right? Looking forward to pairing it with the black jeans for a cool date night outfit soon...
This Madewell moto jacket is amazing, by the way. The leather is so buttery smooth and the perfect weight, and I love the cropped length and cool silhouette. It's a major splurge to be sure - but if you like the idea, check brands like BB Dakota and Blank Denim for vegan/faux options.
I'm loving the leather jacket. I enjoy your wardrobe posts. I find planning capsule wardrobes time saving during the season. In the past, I would waste time trying to put together outfits and get so discouraged because nothing matched.
ReplyDeletethat dress is So versatile! xo jillian - cornflake dreams
ReplyDeleteLeather jackets are a huge splurge, but I think they make a big difference in outfits. Now, whenever I have my outfit on and I feel like it's missing something, I always add my jacket! I feel so much cooler in it, whether I'm wearing a dress, skirt, or jeans. It's perfect for everything!
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to get a blanket scarf and booties. Why? I'm not entirely sure. It's hot as heck here (and will be forever). But they're just so dang cute!
ReplyDeleteI'm serously going to model my fall wardrobe after this post. I'm half tempted to print it out and hang it on my closet door so I can remember what to wear. I think my husband may die of laughter if I do though; so maybe I'll just pin it ;)
ReplyDeleteOooooh that jacket is gorgeous! It's casual but in a classy way with sharp lines too. Definitely worth the money I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about this post! All the goodies you posted in the beginning need to be in my closet and your whole outfit as well! Loving the backpack!

Ooh I LOVE the leather jacket Anne! Perfect big-ticket item splurge! It really does take that dress from cool to coolest. A leather moto-style jacket is something I always wish I had when I see it on others, but it's never something I really look for myself when I'm shopping. Maybe I'm not convinced I could pull it off? I don't know. But seeing this reminds me that YES, I do need one of those.
ReplyDeleteAnd more striped dress inspiration, yay! :)
That leather jacket is amazing. It fits you so well!
ReplyDeleteI love the dress! And it's so versatile! You look great!
ReplyDeleteI love how versatile a striped dress can be! I love how you styled it (both times!)
ReplyDeleteI love a versatile black+white striped dress, and that leather bomber jacket is the bomb! I love both outfits, but I like it slightly more with the cognac accents. So chic Ms. Anne. =)
ReplyDeleteSooo jealous about that jacket! The Madewell jacket is definitely my dream jacket but never one I could actually afford (unless I saved for a few months but I know myself and how impossible that would be, ha!).
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! Love this look!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the linkup.

I love that dress and how you styled it! So cute! :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so dang cute, Anne! I really love the ways you've styled this striped dress - that jacket is fantastic and sooo up my alley! I am checking out the BB Dakota options right after this! I've been doing some semi-capsule wardrobes over the past several months kind of like how you're describing here, and it's been a great way for me to focus on styling different pieces, and it has made getting dressed much easier!
