My breath might not be, but my outfit sure is!

A-line skirts perfectly emphasize womanly curves - or add womanly curves. Thus, this minty A-line jean skirt from American Apparel makes a great summer statement piece. I paired the skirt with a recently thrifted white blouse from Urban Renewal in Allston. Plain white blouses are closet-must-haves because they 1) match everything and 2) balance louder pieces like this skirt. For accessories, I'm wearing a bejeweled rope necklace from Anthropologie. The necklace has mint-colored jewels and light beige thread so it compliments my skirt and oxfords. Lastly, I completed the outfit with my oversized leather clutch. The bag is great for carrying my laptop, many chargers, and documents. Essentially my office on-the-go.

The sound of dreams being fulfilled

I've been on the search for my dream leather jacket since last September when I had to retire my black one after traveling through France. I wore it everyday and I acutely remember the tears that rippled across its body as I pushed it to its limits. I found it in high school so it wasn't real leather, but it really changed all my outfits in the best way by providing this sense of controlled chaos and a grungey feel. Anyways, since then I've been lonely without a leather jacket to immediately run to for all my sartorial problems. I've been wary about the price that I would be willing to pay for a leather jacket, but I know it's a piece I will wear often and I would want one that will last forever. Despite that, I didn't want to spend $500+ on the ones I found on sites like Rag & Bone even though it was the perfect modern fit. Then I experienced a game changer while shopping at the Mango in Spain. First off, prices in Spain are significantly cheaper than in the U.S. A top in the U.S. can run from $80-120 while a top in Spain is 20-50 euros. I felt like I was slapped in the face, but in a good way. I love Mango's clothing. Their style is minimalistic with a focus on striking and modern silhouettes. Their color schemes are simplistic with a use of few colors like their spring collection consisted of three colors: peach, mint, and white. I love when stores work like this because you feel like you could buy anything in the store and all the items would match each other. Long story short, I bought a leather jacket there and it cost $40 cheaper than its American counterpart. Thank you, Mango for making me feel thrifty about an expensive purchase.
