Sweater Dressing | Part III

Wearing: Sweater Tobi

I just love this big oversized sweater with lace up sleeves for winter. I especially love it paired with a pair of leather leggings for an edgier look. It's super cozy and just what your closet needs in order to look put together and stay comfy this winter. Shop more sweaters at www.Tobi.com.

Striped

I immediately fell in love with this sweater when I saw it because of its amazing colors. And the fact that is was on sale was nice too. I love a piece that can easily be thrown on to transform any outfit. In this case I wore it with all black so it really is the standout piece in the outfit. However, to add a little edge to a piece like a cardigan I added leather leggings and a ripped tank. 

Faux Real

I love fall because it's when we get to break out the leather. These faux leather leggings are the perfect way to add some edge to any look. I particularly love them as styled above, with a chunky sweater and some suede boots.

Leather-Legged

Nothing quite adds to a basic outfit like a pair of leather leggings. Leather adds that instant cool factor to take any outfit up a notch. I especially love a fun legging like these, which are just leather on the front with a fun wrap-around detail. Pair them with some leather booties and the result is a pair of leather legs that look like they go on forever. Then since I can't seem to part with this jacket (even though it will soon be too cold to wear it) I wrapped it around my waist for the option to wear it later. And the jacket is now on sale, because it is pretty much a proven fact that right after I buy something it will go on sale. It's a curse for me, but a possible blessing for you.

Midterms have turned my brain to mush, so I honestly can't think of anything to write right now. Too much math on the brain to think about anything else. But for now enjoy the photos and shop above and I'll be back with something to say tomorrow.

Easy Layers

One thing I love to do in fall is layer an open button-down with an open jacket. I like the effect it creates with the layers just peeking through, especially when done with something patterned like this plaid shirt. It also has a certain ease about it, and I definitely like that because I don't believe in over-complicating the process of getting dressed in the morning. Plus, taking your favorite little black dress from the summer and transitioning into fall is a good way to get more wear out of your favorites. 

Leather Essentials

My recent posts have all talked about must-have items for fall, but what's fall without a good leather jacket? I think it's a pretty important piece to have, and finding the perfect one is not always easy. Since real leather is almost always going to be an investment piece, it has to be something you love. And, of course, as soon as I put this jacket on I knew I needed to own it. The perfect jacket can add so much to any outfit. I wore it really simply with jeans and a black shirt, and yet the hardware and detailing on the jacket are enough to make this outfit something special.

Fall Transitions

In my opinion, the key to surviving fall lies in a good jacket. Or, more likely, in a few good jackets. (Who could pick just one?) I love the leather detailing and hardware on this jacket in particular. Plus, it is the perfect lightweight transition piece for these warm one minute, cold the next type days. Layered over the perfect basic sweater and paired with some destroyed denim, it is the easiest way to stay comfortable and look good this fall. 

Leather Weather

One of the reasons I could not hold off blogging any longer was that there was no way I would miss out on fall fashion. Fall is definitely my favorite season, I love being able to slowly pile on layer after layer as it gets cooler (but before it gets freaking freezing). The only problem is, sometimes fall weather can be unpredictable. The solution: keep an extra layer around your waist, then if it gets a little cooler you are prepared. 

For me, this outfit is all about the details, like the lace detailing on my tank top or the bit of metallic on my shoes. Plus, I love the idea of an all black look using different textures. And the plaid around my waist just breaks it up a bit. And then there's the pants, I swear I never feel cooler than when I'm wearing my leather pants (which are now on super sale, go go go!). 

Stolen

This jacket might just be my most amazing sample sale find yet. This jacket retailed for $1,295, and I got it for, drum roll please, $250. If I was good at percents, or if I wasn't too lazy to reach for a calculator I would tell you just how great of a steal that was, but I think it's pretty easy to see that it was quite a deal. And I am seriously in love with this jacket. I mean, it looks like the world's most awesome DIY project, but it required no effort whatsoever. It definitely makes a statement, no matter what you wear it with too. It's a piece that makes an outfit, which is always a good piece to have for days where you just don't want to try too hard but still want to look good. 

Good Sport

A few weeks ago I posted about my love of all things sport-luxe, and finally with this nice weather I've been able to put some of my new sporty pieces together for a fun spring look. This Rebecca Minkoff might just be one of my favorite new spring items in my closet. It really is the perfect mix of sport and classic. And then there's the shoes. I didn't get an up close picture (my bad, sorry) but they actually have a really subtle leopard print on them, and that combined with the neon yellow accents just makes them ridiculously cool. The look is finished off with leather pants along with the latest addition to my sunglass collection.
