When we look into our closets and say or think those five dreaded words — I have nothing to wear — it’s not because we actually don’t have anything to wear. There are many reasons why that phrase pops into our head — we’re sick of everything we own, nothing fits, it’s all been photographed…whatever the case, I’m sure you’ve all said or had those thoughts at least once before. But the reason could actually be none of the above and all of the above at the same time.
Nothing says “closet staple” more than a leather jacket. They go with just about everything, one can instantly add an effortless and cool factor to any look and they can be worn as outerwear or as part of the outfit. You really can’t lose.

Shoulder bags, satchels, totes…most handbags have one thing in common — hands. With all the things we have to carry around these days (iPhone in one hand, Starbucks in another, perhaps a few September issues under your arm), hands are a hot commodity and we need them for important things. Like composing the perfect Instagram caption, pointing at that new restaurant I’ve been dying to try, and checking what’s new on the Net-a-Porter app just to name a few.
Even cross body bags can get in the way sometimes and they are one of the most common ways go about carrying your things hands free …unless you decide to go really old school and opt for a fanny pack (which I’m not totally opposed to). But today’s topic of discussion is about that other pack — the backpack.
When it comes to fashion, I do enjoy a challenge. Pastels in the winter, mixing prints, a sequin sweatsuit…I find these things entertaining. One challenge I’ve recently decided to take on — the dress with pants. Something typically reserved for the couture runways, this look is rarely seen on the streets. But I decided to kill two fashion challenges with one stone this week (dress with pants + headband not at a music festival) and here’s how it turned out.
