Pre-Polar Vortex

Sweater: H&M (old, but this is cute!) // Leather skirt: NY&CO (old, but similar) // Black booties (also old, similar) // Love ring: BaubleBar

So, it's been a while since I've posted because honestly, I've been hibernating. These pics were taken on my apartment terrace before the freaking winter blast took over where snow and ridiculous temps have been knocking NYC for weeks. There was a beautiful weekend day when it was still lovely enough to spend time outside without hating your life (I can't wait to experience that again this weekend...yay 50 degrees!).

I've had this leather skirt for a while now and I wanted to play down the edginess and make it a little more casual with one of my favorite comfy winter sweaters. Not gonna lie, I'm loving the leather trends at the moment and hope they stay for a while. Makes me feel kinda awesome. 

Any leather fans out there?

OK, so....here we go.

Ever since I've started this little blog I've wanted to do some outfit posts. I never wanted to turn the whole thing into outfits because I like to write and post about so many other things, but somethings I really do love in life are clothes. The only problem is (well there were several problems): a. I didn't have anyone to take my pictures. This has been solved by feeding my lovely roommate coffee from DD and cajoling her outside to play photographer. She did so well! b. It's kinda weird taking photos of your outfits! I read sooo many blogs everyday and love to see what they're wearing, but when you do it yourself it's super easy to doubt yourself. 

2014 is all about what I want to do however. So, I think it's fun, and I hope you like it too! (all like...ten people that read this little blog of mine :)

Anywhooo, enough with the rambling. Basically it comes down to I'm obsessed with this jacket. It's my first "big girl jacket" and I can't stop loving it. I eyed it while Black Friday shopping with my Mama and just couldn't stop admiring. The perfect burgundy, leather sleeves and gold accents...ah I wanted. Sadly with my funds I had to pass it up, but because my Mom is the number one best mom in the world, and she appreciates some amazing clothing as much as I do, she surprised me with it on Christmas!

Who needs anything else when you have a fabulous jacket?

So, what do you think...continue with some outfit posts?
