Wool Coat: Mom’s Closet

Although it’s March and spring will be here before you know it, there’s no need to get rid of your winter wardrobe just yet. Temperatures are still cool enough to wear your favorite statement pieces.

For this post, our favorite stylist, Dyandra Raye, shows off her wool and fur coats respectively. Both looks were slayed with a simple tee and destroyed jeans. She states, “Winter is all about coats so why not “go big or go home” with outerwear that will start conversations. I scored this vintage fur jacket at a local consignment shop for less than $150. My orange trench is my mother’s and another classic gem. Both coats turn a standard white tee and destroyed jeans into a runway ready look. Now you have two ways to create outfits based around foundational items with a fashionable twist!”

With these two looks, Dyandra is definitely staying warm and stylish for the remaining winter days.

Top: Forever 21 |
Skirt: Thrift Store |
Boots: Primark

From Black History Month to Valentine’s Day, the month of February is known for a lot of things. In terms of fashion and personal style, February has been a month of leather, especially on this blog!

For this post, our girl, Alvi, decided to dress up her look with  leather  jacket. Oh, and guess what, it’s a moto jacket of course! Looking better than ever, Alvi further styled her outfit with a burgundy v-neck top, a printed skirt, and burgundy ankle booties. By adding a contrasting color like burgundy to the mix, Alvi was able to bring out the jacket and skirt even more.

As you already know, we have featured leather jackets quite a few times this season., and this post just reiterates why we do.

For this post, our friend, DJ HBK, reiterates why we love leather so much! Today, he shows off his leather-clad look. Rather than wearing your traditional leather styled jacket, HBK went with a brown moto jacket from Topman.

To contrast with the brown leather, he further styled his look with a white button-up, green biker pants, and brown wing tips to finish off.

“Winter is all about mixing and matching pieces and rocking it in confidence.” -MyAsia

There’s nothing sets off a bold outfit like a bold statement piece.  A statement piece? A statement piece can be an accessory, or article of clothing that is bold, and immediately eye catching.

Today, our friend, MyAsia, is rocking nothing but statement pieces. As shown above, MyAsia donned her black leather pants with a mid sleeve leopard printer shirt and leopard printed heels. For a finishing touch, MyAsia added a faux fur, sleeveless vest, and beige fedora. She states, “Patterns and textures are my signature! So, the leopard print sweater worn with the leather textured tights creates the contrast from different angles.”
