WiW: 1.17 - A Problem with Lady Spade?

Off to run a few errands and a doctor's appointment today! She was very amused by the airplanes on my dress, and her resident tried to name the models of the planes (rather awkward!)

I am unsure if Lady Spade is too similar a colour to my jacket? What colour of purse should I be looking for otherwise? Thanks! :)

Another good reason to have a FFBO...

Morning of the big presentation and power is out in my neighborhood and surrounding 10 blocks.

Getting dressed in the dark = not when you want to be experimenting. lol.

Since I have a FFBO I am sure I look "grate"!

Bonus: funny pic (old)

Leather jacket chronicles: alternative outfits, jeans!

I think this jacket looks nice with the jeans and the layers. I don't really notice that extra length when it is open either - hmm, so many tough decisions.

Thanks for all your help, and I'll stop posting for a bit :p

Leather jacket; 3 lengths, alternative outfit!

1) Regular!
2) 1" Shorter (halfway point as requested)
3) 2" Shorter (a bit poofy because of the fold)

Same jacket; "shortened" 2" for Suz

I had the same thought as you, Suz about the length of the jacket: I was told I could have it shortened (about $50).

I just folded it under for now: better?

The longer length is the same as my cardigans; I can wear the jacket over the cardigan without it sticking out. I would have to go cardigan-less if I shortened it.

Better Pics: The Danier in XS

I quite like this jacket; it was suggested on a whim because I didn't want black and I didn't want a moto style (tried on a few and it was too RATE for me).

I think it is still a bit tough with the asymmetrical zip and it has some motorcycle vibe in the shoulder and the cuffs. Also love the back.

Think this is my jacket?

Ask Angie & YLF: What kind of leather jacket is most versatile w/ dresses?

I have an itching to go to my fabulous Danier outlet tomorrow and I was hoping to find a leather jacket that would work with various capsules - but most likely my travel and date night one - and will play nicely with dresses.

I would imagine that length would be a consideration; I think I would be looking at a waist-length one, because my skirt would just flare underneath it. 

  • Any suggestions for jacket styling? A moto jacket? 
  • Any suggestions for colour? Black is versatile but boring, no?

I tried to scour Pinterest for some ideas before bothering you nice ladies, but I couldn't really find an answer to my questions. 

Thanks in advance :)

PS: I realize that these are all black motos - I guess they are very popular for bloggers! :)

ETA: My mom is making fun of me - because this is exactly how she used to wear her leather jacket when she was my age! And midi-skirts were in! She had a pleather jacket, but really wanted a leather one - and my dad's first gift to her was a beautiful grey leather jacket with a short trench style (she still wears it and refuses to give it to me)!

WiW: 1.13 - Justin Timberlake Inspired!

They were playing a lot of JT on the radio today, so I suppose he inspired me today to wear this dress! Not a usual one in my rotation, I think it has survived by hiding out in the date capsule.

Also, navy doesn't harm it's chances!!!

Borrowed pumps from my sister and heart tights! :)

I hope I didn't go too simple today, but I have never been a ALOG kind of a girl.
