Patterned Moto & Fun Fashion Friday Link Up!

January 21, 2016
Have you hit up any after Christmas sales, Dolls?  
I’m thrilled with this patterned moto jacket that I picked up at Express last week.  It’s chic, versatile, and stretchy … I love something that I can move around in.  For California, it’s pretty seasonless too.

I did some pattern mixing and added this Peter Pilotto for Target top.  I’ve had this crazy top for a couple of years now, but still love it.  Also wearing my new fab Prada sunnies via Ditto Endless Eyewear (you can read more here). I added my Royalty for Me skinny pants, classic pumps, and my “pop of red” London Fog bag. The unique necklace is from Chaos New York.

    I received items from Christmas I am still wearing, I am wearing a tweed jacket Santa brought me today. I am shopping my closet until I decided to buy for Spring. I adore this jacket on you, the tweed and the shape look wonderful. Love the colors of the top and I Chaos necklace is pretty. I am a fan of silver.
