It’s definitely getting chillier—but that doesn’t mean your fashion has to suffer. It’s not yet cold enough to completely hide your body with sweaters and leggings, so embrace the temperature and show a little skin!
I decided to try a new look (for me) with a Miss Me Faux Leather & Tweed Moto Jacket ($99) paired with Miss Me black floral shorts. I’d always wanted to work a pair of winter shorts, but had never really tried before.
While shorts and a black jacket can easily scream 'summer', this worked because of the thick, warm fabric on the shorts, which gave it more of a cold weather feel. In fact, if it had been cooler out, it would have been totally acceptable to wear a pair of black tights under the shorts. But, alas, I wanted to show a little leg while I still could.
The outfit, with black simple heels, made for a great going out outfit (which, as collegiettes, we can always use more of). The jacket was trendy, but also kept me warm (which made up for my admittedly cold legs—but that’s of my own doing!). The jacket also had these great gold accents throughout the tweed that jazzed it up and made it more fun. Because of that gold I actually felt like adding any necklaces would have been overkill—the jacket already had enough going on.
While these pieces clearly go great together, there is so much more you can do with both. The shorts would work with either a fitted black top tucked in or a dark, very oversized top to keep the attention on your legs. The jacket can work simply as a top (as seen here) or work over any top on any bottom, from jeans to tight black skirts.
