It’s finally time for this leather jacket to shine! I found it last year at Ross and ended up wearing it on my girls trip to Colorado last year. (Thank God too because I didn’t have another coat!) Since then though, it hasn’t had its proper moment on the blog. And it needs too. Not only did it do an amazing job at keeping this Florida girl warm in Colorado, but it was also a total steal at Ross! Now I don’t remember the exact number but, I think I paid almost $400 for this leather jacket. It’s Ralph Lauren and originally retailed for over $2000. Not to mention it is real leather and fur lined. So when it comes down to it, it wasn’t a bad price at all. And after testing it in the cold, it kept me warm and was durable. (Could I have been warmer? Probably. Was a different coat going to keep me warmer? Probably not). Since I’m not in Colorado and not experiencing any where close to the same below freezing temperatures it’s been challenging to style and wear this leather jacket. But y’all know I will try!

Styling a Leather Jacket in Florida
There is absolutely no good reason whatsoever to own such a thick leather jacket in Florida. In-fact, I probably would have regretted this purchase had it not been such a life saver last winter. But where there’s a will, there’s a way. I definitely found a way to wear this jacket even in Florida throughout last winter. Even if it was just in the mornings. But I’ve finally put together an outfit that I like and works well for those more mild Florida days. Now I’m not saying I’ll be wearing this jacket all day every day in Florida, but it’ll certainly get worn more!
