Leather you will or leather you won't

Last week, you could still get away with rocking bare legs, but now all I can say is brrrr! You'll freeze your tootsies off.

Every woman should own a black leather jacket. They make you look instantly cool and chic. But owning a light colored leather jacket was something I never gave a second thought to. My friend had this jacket that I'm wearing in these pictures. I thought it was kind of cheesy when she showed it to me, but after some convincing I thought "why not? There's no harm in just trying it on." I was sold! It fits well, it's real leather, and surprisingly, I reach for this jacket more than my black one. Moral of the story: Step outside of your comfort zone because sometimes your friends know best. Happy Monday ya'll!

Fall Into Leopard

One of the best things about being petite is being able to fit into kids' clothes. This dress is from the kids section at Gap. It's a leopard print, shift dress with pockets. Three of my favorite things combined. How could I say no? Since it is a girl's XXL, there are a few minor adjustments to be made. The arm holes are a tad small, and the dress is shorter than I would prefer. But the arm holes can easily be adjusted. Since the outfit is mostly black and brown, I brightened it up with this bright red purse, and purple heels. I scored this leather Perlina bag at a sample sale for $25. Awesome, right?
