A Very Long Engagement

Hat: Custom Made / Jacket: Thrifted / Scarf: H&M / Jeans: J Brand / Cardigan: Target / Boots: Etienne Aigner / Handbag: Michael Kors

The army green jacket is a style that seems to reappear every season and for me, it is most definitely a staple. This particular army jacket I'm wearing is actually both thrifted and a hand-me-down. The jacket was first spotted at our local Village des Valeurs (french for thrift store) where I was shopping with a friend. We inevitably both fell in love with it and found ourselves in a difficult situation. I decided that whoever the jacket looked best on would take it home. Needless to say, I lost this contest as I was up against a redhead...and we all know what the colour green does for redheads. Five years later, when said friend was ready to give up the jacket, I finally inherited it. Don't you just love clothing with a story? A big thank you to my friend Vanessa for passing this jacket down to me :)

Animal Influence

Don't you just love yourself a little leopard print sometimes? I know I do. Animal prints have been recurring in fashion since forever and are an essential in every woman's wardrobe. I have always appreciated animal-inspired fashion and fall is the perfect season for this trend to flourish. A shoe, a shirt, a handbag...you can find nearly everything in various animal prints and use this trend to add interest to your outfit. If you are having a difficult time with transitioning into fall fashion, remember you can always count on your old friend, the leopard print.
