SILK CREPE DE CHINE JUMPSUIT
$498 at Ralph Lauren

Halfway through January, I'd say winter is almost over. In anticipation for the arrival of spring and warmer climates, I could think of no better spring must-have than this stylish silk jumpsuit. And what could be more perfect than to start spring off right with Ralph Lauren's silk Crepe de Chine jumpsuit?! The perfect combination of fabulous and casual, this outfit is going to cost you $498 dollars to be exact.

This jumpsuit presents the ultimate casual springtime look with the drawstring cinching above the hips. I really like the fun, lime green color, which is also fitting for spring. I absolutely love the tied ends at the ankles which would look great paired with platform sandals. Toss on some chandelier earrings and some colorful bangles to complete this outfit.

This jumpsuit is a great, easy, go-to outfit. While rompers were made for the summer months, the jumpsuit is a good transition for the spring. When I see it, I think of spring break, but this jumpsuit can be worn to far more places than just the tropical south. Backyard barbecues, lazy afternoons in the park, and street fairs are all appropriate places to sport this trendy look. Merely an elongated version of the romper, try something different this spring with this Ralph Lauren jumpsuit.

RALPH LAUREN VS. TARGET
Leather Jackets

Leather Jackets have always been a guilty pleasure in my life. From sexy boys on motorcycles to the greasy T-Bird gangs on the 50s to independent girls with bold attitudes, there is definitely something special special about a leather jacket.

Specifically, when I came across the Ralph Lauren Lennox Moto Jacket, I knew there was something special about it. Selling for $1498 dollars, Ralph Lauren must have thought so too. This lime green jacket offers the perfect combination of girly and edgy. With the popping lime green color, this isn't your ordinary run of the mill leather jacket. I really like the wide collar and asymmetrical front zipper as well. The real highlight of this jacket that sold me was the lace up sleeves at the wrist. Tying up like a shoe lace, these sleeves are cooler than cool. It is without a doubt, Ralph Lauren has brought back the old glory days of the leather jackets with a modern infusion.

As if there could ever be a leather jacket considered worthy of being called competition compared to this Ralph Lauren jacket, I thought I would put it up against a more affordable one. The Xhilaration Junior's Side Ruched Faux Leather Jacket is available at Target for $39.99. If there is one word to describe this jacket it would be basic. This jacket right here proves that you cannot skimp on a quality leather jacket and just shows straight up how fabulous the Ralph Lauren is.

Jacket's are worn a lot more than just once and are usually the first piece of your outfit that people see.It is important to own good, quality jackets, and the Ralph Lauren Moto Jacket would be a great representation. So feel guilt-free splurging on this stylish jacket, and, as always, feel free to buy me one too!
