The Inherent Cool of the Black Leather Jacket


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?


Jacket: DKNY
Dress: Norma Kamali for Wal-Mart (I know!!)
Earrings: Toots & Magoo (Chapel Hill, NC)
Watch: Michael Kors
Sunglasses: Urban Outfitters

  2. 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!

    And Walmart?? Really??!

    Less Than or Equal to: This sign generally used at the places where we have to specify the quantity. It means that the value should equal either to the given value or less than the given value. The less than or less than the symbol used is \leq. For example, A jug can hold up to 4 cups of water. This means that jug can hold 4 cups of water or it could be less than 4 cups. In mathematical form, we can write it as capacity \leq 4. more info: lessthansymbol.com

    Oh my gosh, have you tried these chat rooms yet? They are seriously the best! What I love about them is that you don't even need to sign up or register - just jump right in and start chatting with people from all over the world. And the best part? There are rooms dedicated to specific countries, so you can connect with people who share your culture or interests. I'm seriously hooked - come join me in the chat rooms and let's get chatting!
