Because I needed another leather jacket, clearly.
I should apply to have my middle name changed from Suzann to “Actual Jacket Hoarder.” At this point, my leather jacket collection is out of control– and yet, I could not resist this embroidered faux leather jacket from Blank NYC when it popped up on the Shopbop site. (Blank NYC has been slaying the jacket game, both this jacket and this jacket are by the brand.)
I needed a cool outfit for an appearance on the Better Kansas City morning show– this jacket to the rescue. (The segment was actually on jackets + you watch at the bottom of this post.) I threw it on over an ombré fringe tank and a pair of silky black joggers, and added silver accents and elastic sock boots as finishing touches.
Shop the look:
I don’t expect my leather jacket addiction (or general jacket affinity) to fade anytime soon. And with spring just around the corner, I’m going to be relying on those jackets to warm up transitional looks. The tank is this look, for example, is super lightweight + summery. The jacket provides an extra layer that make it okay for late winter/early spring, without adding too much bulk. Transitional weather dressing 101.

Yes, yes you DO need another leather jacket because you need a SPRING leather jacket and this is NOT like other leather jackets. I have successfully enabled you.

Hahaha that is too funny, but I can see why this would be hard to resist. I want to get a new moto jacket this spring, but then I saw a killer bomber jacket in Ted Baker and now I am torn.
