Leather Jacket Thoughts Part II

It's finally cool enough around here that it's appropriate and practical to wear the Ted Baker Riza leather jacket I bought during the summer during the anniversary sale. Aside from my leather MBMJ hobo bad that I bought during my first internship, this is the second large clothing purchase I've made in my life. So far, no regrets. I was super conscious of my rings rubbing on the jacket and any thing on my backpack or bag that might scratch it on the first day.

That night though, I wore it out for a friends birthday party at a very crowded bar. And it survived through to the next morning when I re-examined it sober. No scratches or marks, so I guess love and let live. I bought the jacket to wear, not to baby and display in my closet.

Style wise, I feel like such a badass when I wear it. It elevates every outfit that I throw together, even the scrubbiest of ones. I think my uniform for the fall are jeans, a long sleeve, my Roshes, a scarf, and this jacket.

Practically, it's super warm and has pockets that are deep enough to hold my phone, a card wallet, and a tube of tinted lip balm. I can go out without bringing a bag if I wanted to, since my boyfriend usually brings keys.

On a side note, a heartbreaking one - the jacket I have is now on sale at Nordstrom for less than I bought it for. In my size as well! Very upsetting! I have it linked here.
