If you’re a girly girl who loves feminine dresses and floral patterns, you might find it hard to wear edgier fashions. I surely fell into this camp, but recently I’ve decided to let myself be free to dress however I feel. I’ve always loved the look of leather jackets, but thought that could never wear one! I’m a girly girl through and through, so I’ve found a few ways to make edgier styles work for me.

First of all, I like to keep my other accessories feminine. These pom pom mules are the perfect statement piece to add a sense of whimsy. I just think they are so romantic in an understated, yet bold sort of way. Any feminine flat or heel would work great with a leather jacket to balance out that edginess with a bit of feminine flair.

I also like to keep the rest of the color palette neutral, with a slight pop of a bright color. Of course, in this case, I went for a simple pink pocket tee, but it brightened up the overall look. I wanted to avoid to look being too dark, for fear of it looking drab, so the pop of pink added just what I needed.

Lastly, matching the outfit with a chic pair of sunnies and a simple handbag is never a bad idea! I think this leather jacket is going to be a great transition piece to get me through until the weather warms up for good.

I first tried out this leather jacket here (over a lace collared sweater dress).

    Where to start! The leather jacket is so stylish and paired with the pink top it looks amazing. The distressed jeans are fantastic and those shoes are so adorable. 🙂 Of course the entire look is finished off with your nice smile.
