Style Chocolate Chip: Winter Blues: Flowy Maxi Dress and Leather Jacket

Friday, January 13, 2017 •

Happy Friday!! It's finally the weekend!

So it's been raining...endlessly. And, I really wish the weather would allow for more outfits like the one I am sharing today. I am not a cold weather person. I need sunshine!

Today I am sharing a look that would be great for date night or for a Winter wedding. I searched and searched for the best jacket to wear with a formal dress...or with a formal-ish dress. I kept stumbling on cute leather jackets that add edge to any dress (and don't hide the dress like other large coats). I decided on this style leather jacket because of the cut and the detailing is more feminine compared to other moto leather jackets. That being said, I thinks it's important to invest in pieces that are outfit staples... like a classic leather jacket. They come in handy and are perfect to stay warm in the Winter (at least in So-Cal cold temps).

Usually for Winter I avoid dresses because I hate being cold...I'm really a baby about cold weather. However, dressing up for a date night out, special occasion dinners or events does come up. Maxi dresses are my favorite during winter for two reasons: 1.They are long, thus warmer & 2.They transition so well for Spring. I love this striped maxi dress that can easily be dressed up and down (and is under $50) and this flowy printed dress that is similar to this blue maxi dress.
