There is something inherently cool about black leather jackets. To wear one is to belong, but to belong to an alternative, rebellious group - punks, Hell's Angels, aviators, Bolsheviks, T-800's, you know, dangerous people. People so dangerous, and so cool, that their alleged suicide notes read:
"We had a death pact. I have to keep my half of the bargain. Please bury me next to my baby. Bury me in my leather jacket, jeans and motorcycle boots. Goodbye."
Clearly, I am no Sid Vicious, but I am not impervious to the audacious charms of the black leather jacket. I paired mine with a dress and booties, a decidedly more ladylike approach to rocker chic. Do you have a black leather jacket? What's your favorite way to style it?

For years I longed for a leather biker style jacket. Now I find myself drawn more to sleek and draped leather a la Rick Owens. I like that your almost looks like a button down shirt- there must be a million ways to wear it!
ReplyDeleteAnd Walmart?? Really??!
Love your comment next to the dress!! Ha ha. It looks great too. Never would have guessed. This outfit is killer. I have an old leather. Need to invest in a new one. I'm coveting a draped one at the store. Anyways, your hair looks amazing Kristen!
ReplyDeleteA Stylized Hysteria, Shanna: I love the idea of a draped leather. More Dries van Noten than Terminator. RE: the hair, that means so much! You know how I struggle with it :)
ReplyDeleteLove this look and by the way, your hair has been looking great!
