Aside from the houndstooth print and $30 price tag of my blazer, I love the leather lapel. The over sized fit and leather detail add a touch of edge. Since the blazer is slightly big for my petite frame, I balanced it out by wearing fitted pants, and heels. Remember, it's all about juxtaposition.

My sister saw these Shoemint boots sitting on top of my closet, and said "those are interesting..." I corrected her and said "no, they're gorgeous and they hurt my feet." Every time I look at the boots, I sigh and marvel at their beauty. They also come in black and white, but I like the tan and black best because it's closer to my skin tone, and will create a lengthening effect. I bought a size 6 because they were out of the 6.5, so they pinch my toes. Aside from squished toes, the leather will also crease from wear, so I always make sure to stuff them with tons of paper when I'm not wearing them.

Double the Moto

You can never go wrong with anything that's moto style. It makes you look instantly cool. Extra points if it's leather. I doubled up on moto for this outfit to achieve a cool and casual look.

I'm in love with this sweater and pair of pants. They're super comfortable. I wore a bright pink shirt under the sweater to brighten up the outfit. And as much as I love a good statement necklace, sometimes I opt not to wear one to keep it simple. What do you think? Does this outfit look better with the necklace or without as shown in the picture below?
