STYLE GURU STYLE: Mixed Materials

As a lover of all things texture, Iโ€™m a major fan of leather being in the spotlight lately. I recently scored this super cute leather jacket for an awesome price at Forever 21. I wasnโ€™t quite sure of what to pair it with, until I saw Rihannaโ€™s Fenty x Puma show, that is. The show was nearly all black and white, and one of the edgiest shows Iโ€™ve seen yet. Though my look didnโ€™t mirror anything in her show all that closely, I was inspired by the edgy, cool-girl vibe that exuded from every look on the runway. From over-the-knee boots to over-sized sweatshirts, this show was incredibly avant-garde and was seeping with androgyny.

I was inspired by her edgy looks and tied them into my own look by pairing leather and suede with a lot of black. My love affair with turtlenecks prevails, especially with this simple black long sleeve. I wear this top with everything; from ripped up jeans to dressy skirts. I wasnโ€™t sure about pairing my leather jacket with another form of leather (my tan suede skirt), but I ended up loving the contrast. I got this skirt as a majorโ€”real suede for only $40 dollars!

I paired this look with black tights (it was only 30 degrees out!), my go-to black booties, my fave cross-body bag and some blue metallic aviatorsโ€”had to add a little color somewhere! I love the mix of materials in this outfitโ€”with leather, suede, metal and silky tights.

I encourage everyone to check the Fenty x Puma show out, and to take risks with fashion like Rihanna does every day.
