OOTD: Studs, Leather, Cheetah!

You may not know this about me, but ever since I saw the Cheetah Girls movie on Disney Channel I've always had a weakness for cheetah print. Animal print in general is a cool and easy way to add a pattern to your outfit without feeling like a walking abstract painting. I wore my letterman jacket over my top while I was outside to keep warm while sticking with my laid back look. The leather pants are part of my new pants obsessions, they are a mix of simple and edgy since they are a solid color but they also have a slight shimmer and are of course leather. The leather and animal print put together make me so edgy, especially with the edition of my spike detailed sneaker wedges!

I decided to keep the construction of the outfit simple by pairing a print with a solid. The cheetah print top was very easy to pair with the red leather pants since it only consists of two colors. The shoes are my grey Guess sneaker wedges that work with just about anything and add a laid back feel to any outfit. The stud details on the back of the shoes also add an edgy and kick-butt look to the whole look. I wanted to feel casual, trendy, and fun look with this outfit which I totally felt all day. 

As for hair and accessories, I kept it very minimal so I wanted take away from my outfit. I wore my everyday gold watch, a few small rings, silver hoop earrings, and my favorite "dream" rubber bracelet. My eye make-up consisted of a BB cream, mascara, and a thin cat eye. I put bantu knots in my hair the night before which gave my hair a slight wave. Also, this may sound a bit cliche, but I was sure to wear a smile and confidence all day long to compliment the look.

How do you wear prints?

OOTD: Leather and Letterman

 So I decided that it's finally to pull out my favorite pair of leather pants! It's been so windy outside I had to have something to cover up and warm my legs while still feeling super cute and chic. I paired my leather pants with a cute crop top with a black cami underneath and my grey and white Letterman jacket. By the way, this is the Letterman jacket I have been talking about forever! The jacket is super warm, but not smothering so it's perfect for fall weather. Lastly, I just threw on my grey tennis shoes to break up all the black while going along with the colors of my jacket, plus they're super comfy.

 Here you can see a more detailed look of my top, I especially love the sequin detail of the owl's wing. However, I wore my jacket most of the day because of the cold weather. I always have to wear a belt to keep my pants up so I put on my black leather, silver studded belts. My accessories include 2 gold rings on each hand, my JLANI Jewels ring/bracelet chain, my Free Spirit bracelet, and gold Betsey Johnson boyfriend watch.

 I also wore my favorite ear accessory, my gold leaf cuff. I think it looks so good mixed in with my hair, because it glitters and dangles through. Judt to let you know, I did not cut my hair! I had layers put in about a month among so when I curl the front of my hair under it looks shorter than it really is, but it's still healthy and strong!

 Let me know what your wearing today in the comments below!

Fashion 101: The Letterman Jacket

Letterman jackets are huge in high school especially in the U.S. and typicaly show off your school and however many varsity sports, clubs, and high academic achievements you've made. However, a girl like me doesn't just want the same letterman jacket everybody else has, I want one that shows my personality with the right color combo and patterns. That's why I am so happy that lettermans are becoming a new trend and being made in all kinds of styles!

Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga keeps it edgy, quirky, and of course different by decking her letterman out in major spikes. I'm guessig Lady Gaga isn't giving out hugs in this jacket! She also adds her nickname, Monster, and a big letter M to personalize it just for her.

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift uses her letterman for a preppy look especially since she pairs it up with her super cute oxfords. The bright but neutral colors keeps her letterman perfect for any season while not ever looking drab.

Rihanna

Rihanna looks edgy and cute in her letterman which she pairs with dark colors. However the light grey color and pops of bright white help to keep her jacket from looking drab. Rihanna even makes her letterman more cool and unique by adding patches to her mismatch black and white sleeves.
