Mixing something classically feminine with a more rugged piece is a fashion tale as old as time. (Maybe not quite, but you get the point.) Once you get the hang of it, matching up girly + tough can inject some interest into your outfits, and stretch your closet by allowing you to create new pairings.
For example, let’s take a metallic gray tweed jacket with bracelet sleeves and black piping– sounds quite country club/workweek chic. But it gets a bit of an edge when worn over faded black skinnies with a ripped knee + a super slinky camisole. After adding a pair of basic black suede pumps and a topknot, I had myself an outfit that could go the distance.
As usual, you are mixing up items I already have in my closet and showing me another way to wear them! I totally have a tweed jacket and faded jeans, so I want to try this ASAP! 😀
Your hair looks great in a bun Ashley! Love the tweed jacket mix with the grey jeans and pumps, this is a great fall look!!

You know, I haven’t seen much tweed this season, so this is refreshing. I really like that you paired it with jeans. It’s unexpected. :] // itsCarmen.com ☼ ☯
Love the jacket! I have a pair of faded wash jeans that I absolutely love! I feel like they go with everything and really pull together an “edgier” look.

I am needing a new pair of gray jeans- my old ones are too faded and look almost acid wash? Lol. These Madewell’s look awesome!
