Today's Everyday Fashion: Edgy and Sweet

Inspiration: Le 21eme/Adam Katz Sinding via Who What Wear

My inspiration is rocking this combo - houndstooth, leather jacket, white shirt, pointy black shoes. I came up with a similar version from my closet for less than the price of her adorable LV purse (similar YSL). Here's what I'm thinking: show an edgier side on the way to work with a motorcycle jacket. Underneath, the black cardigan and high neckline offer a more demure version for the office. To tone it down even more, try cap toe pumps, cap toe flats, or simple black pumps. How would you wear today's inspiration?

I stopped by the mall yesterday for a quick errand and couldn't resist popping in and checking out some new arrivals. The Limited was one of my favorites, including some of the picks above (some are online exclusives). What are your favorite new arrivals right now?
