Souvenir bomber jackets are having a major moment (mostly on the men’s fashion side of things but when has that stopped me before?), so I took the opportunity to wear my new silk Topshop number to the Friday night round of shows at Kansas City Fashion Week. I kept the rest of the outfit casual but interesting, with lots of 90s style elements: raw-hem + cropped boyfriend jeans, fringe sandals, and a majorly dark + moody brown lip. (Yes, that’s the Kylie lip in True Brown, which is currently sold out, but Beauty Mark by NYX is a killer dupe at a quarter the price.) Overall, this was a really fun + comfy outfit (which I kept referring to as “90s meets Fast and the Furious Tokyo Drift”) to kick off my time at KCFW.
Keep scrolling for snaps from the runway!
Shop the look:
Rest assured I’ll be leaning on this bright (and reversible, by the way) souvenior bomber jacket all spring long to jazz up basic tees and add some serious style attitude to dresses. This trend is booming; get ready for jackets like this to pop up everywhere, from Forever 21 to Nordie’s. I’m currently picturing how to wear it next… Perhaps with an overall dress and Stan Smith’s for a sangria patio session, perfect, right?
Friday Night at Kansas City Fashion Week
I am positive I say this every year, but the talent at KCFW just keeps getting better and better. I was so impressed, especially with young designers Kiana Godsey and Madison LaRae Durant. I loved the sheer pieces + major sex appeal at Kiana’s show, while Madison’s collection had vegan leather elements and structure I was all over. Paulie Gibson did right by menswear with fun prints + killer coats. Rachel Anne Gottlieb sent some incredible pieces down the runway reminiscent of Victorian-era-meets-battle-gear (so good), and headpieces I was wondering how to incorporate into my wardrobe. So much talent + so much fun to see from the front row!
Those runway shows look amazing! I have yet to attend a fashion week- I was invited to a few LAFW shows but I was out of town when it happened! 🙁 you look gorgeous, girl!

So I totally stalked your snapchat and wow, Kansas City Fashion Week looked amazing! Happy to see that you had fun!
Love love LOVE that bomber jacket! Way to bring back the 90s in an awesome way!
Oh girl, you KNOW I love a brown lip. I don’t even care if some people think it looks like doo-doo. So glad I got to see you for a moment! I had to peace out but it was another great KCFW! Hope to be back again next season!
It was so good to see you too, lady! I wish we had more time to catch up. 🙂
That bomber is the bomb 😉 I love the bright cobalt color! Also, I totally love the frayed hems of your jeans! I’m still searching for a pair that aren’t way too long for my short height lol
That see through dress is stunning even though there’s no way in hell I will ever wear it. One needs to have a killer body to wear that which alas, I don’t have. LOL!
Wow, love your jacket, it seems so vintage (:
Those fashion shows are amazing, the headpiece of the first photo inspires me a lot!
Thanks for your lovely comment on my blog!
I bought a couple of pairs of jeans at The Gap last week but didn’t see these. LOVE that jacket. i have a quilted bomber jacket from Clover Canyon that I love. Wore it to NYFW.
