Moto

by Jen on Wednesday, January 23, 2013


A moto jacket has, by now, become a closet staple; it is a go-with-everything piece that adds an instant element of edge. I've been loosely on the hunt for one for some time now, but wasn't too enamored by the trendy ones that have come out every season (e.g. studs, bright colours, etc). With its completely basic cut and absence of crazy details, I like that this one, which I recently picked up on sale, will definitely stand the test of time. I've also taken a liking to bright, royal blues paired with stark black and white lately, thanks in large part to this photo from Club Monaco, so it only made sense to style the new piece with that in mind for its debut!
Wearing: YesStyle top, Zara blazer, Aritzia jacket and trousers, 3.1 Phillip Lim shoes (50% off here!), MICHAEL Michael Kors bag

I'm still on the lookout for blue jeans or pants. This pair looks perfect!

Ooh! That moto jacket is perfection! I know what you mean, sometimes I want the basic version that will last years but only seem to find the trendy version...

You layer so well, miss Jen! I love the moto jacket on you, and I so know what you mean, sometimes it's so hard to find a perfect basic version of what you're looking for. Sometimes simple is best! And I'm loving this black/white/cobalt combo! So pretty!

Great layering outfit! I'm loving the black & blue contrasts and I just picked up a similar moto jacket on sale from ZARA myself. :)

Love the blazer!

Oh Jen! Your outfits always have me squirming with delight! You really know how to dress, and dress well, I might add. As you know I get super distracted with trends. LOL. I'm trying to work on that, but I just can't help myself. I guess that's what I love so much about fashion; it's always changing and you don't have to take it seriously. Sometimes, we forget that it really is JUST fashion and to have fun with it. :)))

I hope your week has been great so far... Woo hoo!! We're half way through. Miss you, love.

xx Love & Aloha

I agree with Kate, about finding the perfect basic. I am slowing working on building my wardrobe basics before I move on too much to the "fun" pieces.
Blue is my favorite color, so I'm quite in love with your outfit. Just so I don't have to buy another pair of pants, I'm considering dying a pair I already own to a gorgeous shade, like your royal blue pants. =)

Love this moto, but when I looked it wasn't on sale -wah! I agree it's the perfect jacket. I too have been on the hunt for one without a lot of loud hardware. Just don't want to spend over $500 for one. You look adorable as always. Love how you layered the blazer underneath!

The electric blue is a great colour on you and I like the way you layered your tops to create a subtle peplum effect.

Nice, nice! You defitenily pull off the jacket really well and the blue suits you, too. But personally, I like you in red and brown tones more :)
