Grease Lightning!
Ok, so this outfit is serving me straight Olivia Newton John in Grease, but I couldn't help myself. I recently purchased this fabulous leather jacket from Lane Bryant.
First off, can we chat for a minute about how impossible it is to find plus size leather jackets? I have been on the hunt for literally years. I know the revolution of faux leather and vegan leather is the latest fad, but personally I like to buy quality staple pieces. I can't justify spending $$ on a faux piece that won't last nearly as long as the real deal. I was eyeing this jacket at Lane Bryant for months. The original retail price was too rich for my blood so I waited, and waited...and waited. Finally the price dropped so dramatically I had to snatch it. I'm so glad I did. This jacket fits beautifully and the leather is so buttery soft. The side panels have some stretch so it makes the fit that much better. I will definitely have this jacket for years to come.
I paired this moto jacket with a black chiffon high low top from Fashion to Figure. I actually got this top at a FTF sample sale for $5. Can't beat that! I couldn't find the exact top online, but this top is similar. The black pants I'm wearing are a staple in my closet. These are my absolute favorite pants from Torrid. They fit like a glove and they come in various lengths. Being only 5'1 it helps (and is gladly welcomed) when retailers offer plus size in specialty lengths.
Lastly, I added a pop of color on my lips and shoes to give this outfit a bit of an edge. The chain necklace doesn't hurt either! Let me know what you guys think!
