Zara heart cutout T-shirt, Marni at H&M patent jacket (luxury version), leggings c/o Fashion Mic, Aldo handbag, and Sam Edelman boots


Leggings and a T-shirt. These are the basics that this look boils down to. If you've been reading for a while and you're familiar with my style, then you know I prefer my basics with a twist, hence the printed leggings and slashed tee. The fact that I have a whole drawer dedicated to leggings is a testament to my devotion to them. They're the first thing I reach for when I'm cycling, lounging, or compiling a comfortable look. They also make a relaxed counterpoint to my new structured Marni at H&M jacket. The best part? I scored the jacket on sale for less than the price of two movie tickets. Finding it was quite an unexpected delight.

what a cool rocker chic outfit! I love the floral leggings juxtaposed against the leather jacket and slashed tee, great contrast of punk and feminine chic.

So you did get the jacket! Yay! I wrote back on Instagram that I'm not sure if I'd be able to pull it off. But it would be cool to own Marni for $20!! :) I really like it on you. And I love the back of your tee. So daring and cool! <3

There is nothing better than finding a style you love that is comfortable and you can get for a reasonable price :) I love leggins, but don't own enough pairs, so am envious of your drawer full of them ;) this is a great look for you though!
