Summer Leather

Jacket TopShop | Shirt Downtown LA | Shorts Thrifted Vintage | Heels Cathy Jean | Bag Vintage Coach | Necklace Dogeared It's starting to look a lot like summertime here in the city, so I decided to head over near Central Park.   I wanted to finally get to wear my leather thrifted shorts in the warm weather. As my top I'm actually wearing a short jumper, that's a bit too short now. Threw on my favorite jacket and was ready to hit the streets. I kept my accessories minimal as I wanted my shorts and top to be the focal. Needless to say I was comfortable, chic and enjoyed my day. How do you rock winter fabrics in warmer months?

What do you get when you pair a $1 shirt with a $30 jacket? This outfit lol. I got this shirt at the $1 Sunday sale at JetRag in Los Angeles and I wear it all the time. I'm still looking for the great thrift stores of NYC. If you know any please let me know!!! Anyways I got this jacket a few weeks back on sale for only $30 from +Topshop. I left my previous faux leather jacket at a hotel while on a business trip last year smh, so this was the perfect replacement. Better late than never, right? 
I decided to take my outfit up a notch with this necklace I bought from a shop in DTLa a while ago. I wanted to have my shirt unbottoned but felt a bit too exposed so I added a statement necklace. I really wanted that to be my pop or moment so I kept my other accessories simple. 
How do you add a pop to an otherwise simple outfit?

A few weeks ago I was invite to the POPSugar offices for Blogger's Office Hours. In true fashion I was late, as I usually am smh. I promise to be on time next time. :) Anywho my fellow bloggers and I were educated on various blogging topics including scheduling, brand partnerships and collaging. Drinks were provided by Pressed Juicery and Fiji water. To conclude the afternoon we were given our choice of goodies from the Sugar Babies Cupcakery Food Truck. I choose cheesecake and 3 cupcakes, Sweet and Salty, Red Velvet and Bacon. To top all of that off we were gifted the cutest Dogeared Key necklace. I can't wait to wear it, please see below.    

As far as my outfit. I wanted to be comfortable and ladylike at the same time. The dress is the best combination of femininity and comfort. I added a subtle pop color with my silver and blue statement necklace. I kept the rest of my palate neutral and added a berry lip to finish the look.
