STYLE GURU STYLE: When In Doubt, Leather It Out!

I believe that a great accessory will always complete a look, even if you feel bland in your outfit that day. While it may not seem like it, a leather jacket (or any jacket for that matter) is one great accessory you will not regret wearing. Picture your favorite neutral dress perfect for any season, and simply add a pair of brown booties and a jean jacket to create a great transitioning piece between winter and spring. Complete this process, and you have a great variety of easy day to night or casual to formal outfits.

Veronica Beard, a designer whose runway looks are pieces that I could easily see myself wearing each day, touches on the same idea of a jacket being a great accessory. The pre-fall 2016 Veronica Beard collection takes the simplest everyday pieces and adds a creative touch. Adding lace to plain T-shirts or mixed prints to a blouse, the bohemian collection starts as a great foundation to pair with either jeans or khakis, and finished off with a great leather jacket.

Pulling inspiration from the Veronica Beard collection, I paired my own edgy leather jacket with a colorful bohemian printed tunic to change the overall view of the outfit. I believe that a piece of jewelry is not the only staple accessory in any Fashionista/os wardrobe, and that a jacket can be a wonderful statement piece for any look. The other key pieces included my favorite pair of cropped Paige Premium Denim and nude wedges to create a feminine feel.

Designers such as Veronica Beard understand how to create easy and stylish everyday looks which can be taken straight from the runway to the everyday individual on the street. The designers create a great line of jackets and printed blouses, that provide inspiration for individuals, such as myself.
