Let's Pretend Miami Has Cold Weather (4 Reasons Why)

Reason #1

Lately I've been drawn to black and white, which is weird because my wardrobe used to be really colorful. With that being said, I saw this jacket and fell in love. Not only is it black and white, but the design is pretty cool. But wait, it gets better: it's actually light. You know what this means right?! I wont die of heat exhaustion during Miami's version of "fall" and "winter"...always a plus. I bought this at Loehmann's and the brand is Romeo & Juliet. The jacket cost me $50. I have a lot of clothes from this brand so its no surprise I like this jacket. 

Reason #2

To be honest, I was a  little iffy on this one. I'm kind of petite so I wasn't sure if I liked how the over sized vest looked on me. So, I began to brainstorm potential outfits with the vest. I began to imagine a long-sleeve fitted black shirt under the vest, with skinny cargo pants or leggings paired with cool boots. Maybe a statement necklace too. Turns out I sold myself on the vest with my imaginary outfit. We'll see if my "vision" was a success or failure in the future (leaning more towards success though).I got this vest for $50 at wait for it...Loehmann's...(shocker). The brand is also Romeo & Juliet...told you I liked the brand! 

Reason #3

This jacket...I think it looks so "high fashion" because of the print. The print has a blue-ish tone, and I liked the contrast of the black and blue. The jacket is heavy though, but I don't mind baking in the sun all day just to wear it. I've done it before (along with many fellow Miamians) and I don't mind doing it again this upcoming fall/winter. I got this beautiful piece at Zara earlier this summer and knew it would come in handy in the future. 

Reason #4

Lastly, I got a varsity-style jacket. I like the simplicity of this jacket and I think it's pretty "dope"...Ellen and I use this word all the time now regarding clothes. I'm not sure if it's a proper way to describe clothes but it seems to work for us. Anyways, The jacket is pretty simple so matching wise the possibilities are endless. I also got the jacket at Zara.
