Day 1-- Leather

Hello world.

Today is Day one of my 3 week journey through fashion.

My mission, find my perfect style for the fall season.
The deadline, the first day back to school.

The trick? Everything is inspired by my trusted fashion magazines. Elle, Teen Vogue, Fashion, and Seventeen.

So today, I will be investigating a recent fad. The leather jacket.



Yeah, that's right, anyone who has been reading these magazines must have seen the excessive amount of leather jackets right?

It was number four in Elle's 'Hit List'.
Teen Vogue's "Urban Chic Must Have"
It just goes with the whole "femme fetal" thing that invaded the fall runway.

Luckily I like this look. So I put it to the test.
I went out and bought myself a new leather....well pleather, jacket, for $30 from Stitches.


And I must say, I am thoroughly in love with it!

Now, try to imagine a harsh black leather biker jacket placed with a hot pink bubble dress. Pull up the sleeves, add a few bangles, and you got one sexy outfit.

And with that in mind, I went out and bought new shoes to match.



My father described them as "Peter Pan with a Motorcycle".
Translation: I get to be eternally young AND I have a motorcycle.

How can you go wrong?

So for all of you afraid of going out in a leather jacket and a cocktail dress, remember the lesson of the day.

Leather is your friend.
