TREND ALERT!
Crocheted clothing, mixed with touches of leather (such as a crocheed dress and a leather jacket) are so fabulous together! The crocheted dress or skirt is so romantic looking and paired with a leather jacket or pumps are unexpected yet completely chic at the same time. I bought all of the clothing on sale that I’m wearing in these photos. I bought the dress at American Eagle for half off the sale price (score!), and the leather jacket (the brand is Andrew Mark) at Nordstroms Rack, which is a discounted Nordstroms store. I couldn’t believe my eyes! It was so cool that I found all of that for a low, low price!
I just thought that I would wear the dress with my patent leather flats and a denim jacket, which would look good, too, but I wanted to do something different. I saw my leather jacket in my closet, and I wondered what I could do to make something girly yet edgy at the same time. So, I put them both on and whala! A new fashionable outfit!
This look is timeless and chic. Who knew? Sometimes it’s good to mix up your look with new things. I know it is, because I tried it. What is the moral of this story? Discount stores are great to find great things for a cost that will be light on your wallet. I found that out for sure!
