Today, I present you with two versions of the same outfit. The first is a little number I styled with my new black leather jacket. The second is a toned-down version with a blazer and conservative shoes. I like the first one better, but sometimes life calls for a more conservative shoes so I wanted to show you both. Also, I can't believe I'm typing this but I really did drop $299 on a leather jacket at H&M while I was in NYC. I never splurge like that, and I also questioned whether H&M was really the place to invest (what swayed me is that their clothes are cut small, so the fit is amazing). I got nervous and ordered this similar version from Victoria's Secret (with a $75 off coupon), so I could compare. I'm definitely keeping one of them, I will keep you posted. Which version of this outfit would you rock?
