Cold weather is definitely upon us right now. Even though it's not quite winter yet, these temperatures will have you feeling "the hawk." Dressing in layers is one of the perks for this time of year. You can pull out your cutest sweaters, coats, and of course, jackets.
The jacket featured in this blog post is one of my favorites. It was a gift from my Ma when their local JC Penney closed. It's from the Ashley Nell Tipton for Boutique line. When she gave it to me, I got really excited. Then, I quickly got confused because I didn't know how I was going to wear it. Have you ever come across something that you knew was going to be a showstopper, but you didn't have a clue as to how you'd incorporate it into your wardrobe? That's exactly how I felt after the high of excitement came down.
Then, I remembered: K.I.S.S. This acronym, keep it simple, stupid, applies to a plethora of life's many issues. So it can definitely be applied to your style as well. Instead of wracking my brain as to what I could wear this jacket with, I decided that keeping it simple is almost always best.
I finally settled on wearing it with a gray turtleneck, faded black ankle length jeans, and my black and gray boots. It kind of gave a monochromatic look under the jacket which allows the jacket to be the center of the outfit.
Don't mind my frown. It was extremely cold and windy this morning. We wanted to get these shots and run back to the warm car ASAP.
These jeans came from Old Navy, one of my die hard places to get clothes. They are from the plus sized line that recently came back to the stores. But, from what I've been told (and I hope this isn't true), they may be leaving as quickly as they came. I bought 2 pair and they cost me a measly $9.99 each. Now that's a deal when you can get 2 pair of jeans for a little over $20. I'm planning on going back to get more, and at that price, you can afford to splurge.
My boots I've had FOREVER. They came from Target and I've been rocking them for at least 7 years or longer. All these pieces together are the perfect combination of K.I.S.S and came together well. I'm looking like a biker chick with a sensitive side. Lol!!
And check out the details of this jacket...
This jacket is a perfect blend of hard with the zippers and studs; soft with the floral print and off white/beige color. It's surely a standout piece that doesn't need any help whatsoever.
So, what's a standout piece in your closet you just love? Let's chat it up in the comments section.
