Leather Weather is Better Than Sweater Weather

If there is one piece of clothing that I could never live without, it is a great leather jacket. I've long lamented the fact that I couldn't wear my favorite leather bits year round, but I finally found a longer length leather jacket that's lined with Thinsulate to be wearable through even the colder months of the year, (and the leather itself is so buttery soft... Definitely one of the softest leather garments I've ever owned. Not exaggerating). I also love the little details - from the lapels to the buttoned shoulders and yoke. I'm definitely swooning... And if you are, too, the jacket is on sale now at Wilsons!
It also feels important to talk about my skirt, because, if for no other reason, I've had a long, complicated relationship with light colors, especially white. Being a bigger girl practically my whole life has lead to being told that wearing white would only "make me look bigger" - something I've been listening to for years. It's taken a bit of re-learning to work my mind around something that I've been conditioned to believe for so long. Anyways, I think it looks great - and it's a great, bright balance to the black jacket and mostly-grey weather.

How do you wear your leather year-round??
