Patchwork Play

Friday

Sometimes seasonal layering means adding a piece of hardware or leather to an outfit ... or in my case, both! This was my solution to a muddle of climate temps in one day, which was infused with summer, spring, and a chillness in the air. I was exhausted, and needed an easy outfit that could be my versatile style guide from morning to evening.

This was also my excuse to wear more copper hued elements with a fun multi-coloured print. Leather and summer? Oh, yes, it can be done, especially with breezes of the wind passing you like a metro at full speed.

This outfit could easily transition for autumn, and actually has in the past for me one or two times.

I decided to add a turquoise beaded clutch and cinched in my leather moto jacket for a personal touch! I marvel at what a spot of leather (thrown into the mix) can do to one's ensemble. 

Mission accomplished: day to night ready in an instant and with all-weather sensibilities. Although, I did swap my flats for heels for date night! The outfit's rhythm of the night still remained in sync with the morning's initial beats of colourful melodies, but it just had a saucy ending of new heights and danceable soles.


Happy weekend!

  38. I think you combined elements of summer and cooler, transitional dressing beautifully in this look, Madison. But it was your accessories that truly caught me eye. I firmly believe that accessories, even simple ones, can make or break and outfit. And in this case, I think they make yours!

    Yes Madison, this totally works - I always shy away from leather because I live in a country where it's summer all year long - but this is something even I could pull off in the tropics. Nicely done.
