Preparing For Colder Weather With Outerwear

Blazers and leather jackets: The two most popular pieces of outerwear this season. Leather jackets have seemingly made a huge comeback since the 90’s along with studs. They are chic, classy, and rocker all at the same time. Blazers are amazing as well. They are very versatile in that you can either dress them up or down. Add skinny jeans to either and they make perfect outfits for going out with friends. Add a pencil skirt or dress pants and you’re ready to go to the office.

Another thing I’m loving right now? Moto jackets and vests. I think they are such strong pieces that can accentuate almost any outfit, especially if you’re going for the rocker look. This spiked chiffon moto jacket is beautiful. I love how the model paired it up with some crazy leggings; another look I’m loving (although not sure if I can get myself to buy animal print)! Pairing a moto jacket with some combat boots will give you that edgy but casual look you may be looking for to start the year off.

Post-Holiday Hiatus

Hello my dear readers! I’m back from my unannounced college finals/holiday hiatus. Yes, I know New Years is right around the corner, but what better time for a fashion update?

I’m not sure which of you know of the site Nastygal.com, but they sent me an update via email recently with a link to a new e-magazine they have just started doing. I was scrolling through it when I noticed this beautiful gem and had to share it.

 

Now, the thing I love about this is the skirt. It is a gorgeous Moto Suspender Skirt by Nasty Gal that I feel is so unique. There are so many things you could do with this piece to create a one-of-a-kind outfit!

As I said earlier, New Years is around the corner. For me, it is going to be a very cold night. Unfortunately, that ruins my plan of wearing a cute short dress and sparkly heels, especially if it’s snowing that day. But not all of you live in this type of weather, so perhaps you can wear the short dress and sparkly heels for me! If I was going to be wearing a dress, I’d be wearing a beautiful dark maroon color with gold shoes and accessories. That, or a light blue flowy dress with silver shoes and accessories. The possibilities are endless. However, I will most likely be in downtown Flagstaff bundled up in three coats and thermal leggings with snowboots. Mm, so fashionable. Maybe I’ll add some cute studs somewhere to help myself out.

Either way, if you’re wearing a cute New Years outfit that you’d like to show off, submit it below as a comment and I’ll publish it in a master post.

I want to wish you all a safe holiday season and a happy New Year. 2013 is right around the corner! A time for new fashions to explode and old fashions to come back from hiding!

Love,
Ash
