leather luxury.

 Jacket: Banana Republic (similar low-end & high-end options)
Top: Forever 21 (similar) | Jeans: American Eagle
Bag: Aldo (old) | Heels: Target (old)

My parents gave me my very first *real* leather jacket for Christmas, and I've been wearing it every chance I get! It's the perfect neutral color and boxy cut for layering over so many different colors and silhouettes, and the quality is luxurious compared to my budget faux-leather jackets from F21. So, needless to say...awesome gift.

What awesome clothing items did you receive for Christmas??

xo,
Jacy

I got my first leather jacket for my birthday last year, in black, and it has been such a staple! I wear it so much. i want one in the color you have or in a chesnutty brown now haha! :) I got a patagonia which i really wanted even though it's not fashionable it's for comfy days ;). I also got doc martens which are probably my FAVORITE gift! I have wanted them in black forever (i've had the same pair of knockoffs since 7th grade haha) so i'm SO SO HAPPY :)
Love your outfit! XO

Your parents have good taste! I can't make the color but I think I saw taupe? Good leather jacket will go a long way and yours are cut in such versatile/classic way so definitely a keeper! I am hoping to snatch another Balenciaga moto leather jacket soon.. don't know how will I justify that kind of spending on leather jacket when I live in the desert though ;)

Hi Jacy, I rarely see a leather jacket in this shade, its really great and more unique. You've styled it very chicly, very elegant heels!

Cambria said...

Very, very chic! Those high heels, dark skinnies, and loose layers just rock!

Once you get your first piece of leather it's kind of hard to go back. I don't even look at the faux stuff the same.haha,

jacy! sorry this is really late. i kept forgetting to respond to your comment. but my asos leggings aren't super thick, but they aren't thin like cotton leggings either. and they aren't see through which is definitely a plus :)
