As I sat in the living room on Valentine’s Day happily munching away on the chocolates my hubby bought me, I stared outside at the Arctic-tundra like conditions dreaming of spring.
Despite it being -500C outside, I’m heartened knowing that there is only a few more weeks of horrible winter left. You know what that means? Spring fashion is right around the corner.
A huge smile spreads across my face as I think of my denim cut-offs, cute sandals and relaxing in the backyard in my bikini reading a stack of magazines under the sun. I also get excited thinking about my leather Zara moto jacket that I bought just about a year ago for my trip to London. This little jacket was probably the best purchase of 2015.
So far, I’ve been able to pair this versatile little jacket with floral dresses, white jeans, flares, cut-off shorts and dressy pants for work. I’m amazed at how you can dress it up and dress it down, and how great it looks with everything.

I feel kinda badass in it! LOL! I’m really a huge nerd so this jacket makes me feel pretty cool. Thanks, Winona!
You can rock this look. Not me. I remember a friend of mine was OBSESSED with the light blue version of this jacket. The classic black version has MUCH better mileage.

OMG! The light blue! I remember that. I think it was collarless? I tried it on but I agree with you…light blue won’t last the test of time. Thanks so much for your kind words!
You look absolutely gorgeous Dominique!! Great jacket 🙂
