The Jacket You Need for Right Now

When I say that a white jacket is going to carry you through this awkward spring/winter transition and how you should really get one, I mean it.

I’ve been shopping around for a white leather jacket to add to some ensembles I had in mind, and I finally found the perfect one.

White, floral and gold

The funny thing is, I tried this same jacket on in a medium and thought it was ok. It wasn’t until I went back and tried the small size on (only because the medium one was gone) that I really fell in love with it.

What you have to watch out for with shorter jackets like these, is you don’t want the sleeves to feel too big. Because the back of the jacket is so short, I like to make sure that the sleeves don’t go all the way down to my wrists so that it has a shrunken look overall.

If not, it just looks to me like you have gigantor arms, and no one wants to look like they have gigantor arms, right?

I’m just so happy to have found this as it was the perfect dose of edge to add to this floral pattern shirt and pink skirt.

I hope you enjoyed this post from last spring! Here is a white leather jacket that’s similar to the one I’m wearing. And even though I wrote this a year ago, I’ve been on a business trip this week where I packed this same jacket. Which means it’s lasted long and still works when I’m pregnant.

It’s definitely worth it!

The Best of 2014

fashion blog, blogger, blogger style, ootd, beauty blogger, style, style consultant, fun fashion blog, knoxville fashion blog, west town mall

To be fair, the best of 2014 could include every single blog. But enough bragging.

Here are my actual favorites from the year…

Remember when I talked about wearing your maxi dress different ways? I had more people (even strangers) come up to me and tell me how much this helped them. I cannot convey to you how much I love that. Really, I can’t.

Um, how about the big unveil of my new site!! This was so exciting because it symbolized a new chapter in this love project of mine (I feel like love project is a nice way of saying the thing that’s both highly frustrated me and created tears of joy).

Oh and I CANNOT forget the April Fool’s joke I pulled off. Probably my favorite moment on the segment ALL YEAR ;) I’m just so proud I didn’t laugh…

Then there was my favorite beauty purchase of the year

And my favorite clothing purchase… (At least in my top five. It would be hard to name just one).

I really have to stop myself. There are so many moment from the blog this year that I really enjoyed.

I’m so thankful to get to do what I love and what God created me to be passionate about. I hope you go through and relive the fond memories, and I really hope you’ll come back because we’ll be making newer and even better ones in 2015!

Happy happy year!
