Tough Enough?

Dress: Ann Taylor; Jacket: ELLE for Kohls (similar);

Bracelet: Ann Taylor

So far I'm loving the transition to fall! I'm also loving this outfit! Two days in a row.... unheard of for me. Usually, I like what I've put together as it is part of something I've wore previously. Yesterday, I knew I wanted to stay in a fall color palette, but with it being close to 90 by late afternoon, I needed something that would keep me cool. AND, because it's in the low 60s when I'm leaving in the morning, I needed something to ward off the chilly air. 

I reached for this little jacket that I haven't worn in quite some time. I was unsure of how I would like the end result. In the end, I felt a little tough yesterday! The leather, darker tones and thick bracelet were just tough enough yet, somehow the ruffle on the jacket and cut of the dress kept the look feminine. Best of both worlds!
