The bomb

The bomber/varsity jacket has been the cool kid at school for a while now, and it looks like this trend is here to stay for bit longer.  I'm totally jealous of how street-style mavens seem to be able to pull it off so effortlessly- dressed up or down, but never thought the look was that attainable.  Until I saw this gem- at Gap of all places! This floral bomber hit the nail on the head, I think.  At $98 I still hesitate to take the plunge for something so trendy .... but Gap is having an extra 40% off your entire purchase sale until tomorrow with code "GAPXMAS".  Now $60 is more like it!  What do you think??

Grey Sweatshirt

The grey sweatshirt is a major street style staple for F/W 2013.  If Alexa Chung and Taylor Tomasi Hill are wearing one then that's my cue to jump on the bandwagon.  As much as I hate to admit it, American Apparel actually does have quite a few great and inexpensive options for grey sweatshirt.  I myself am thinking about buying this one!

I especially love the idea of pairing a sweatshirt with a pencil skirt- the structure of the skirt balances out a looser fitting sweatshirt and it also fancies up a very casual top.  I put together five looks, each one featuring a different grey sweatshirt, ranging from inexpensive to "yeah right, maybe if I got a Christmas bonus".  Check it out!

What I wish I was wearing today

Photos of Olivia Palermo from Google Image

I love OP and she's a street style icon.  She rocks these leather leggings pretty frequently and I love how she pairs them with chunky sweaters like in the photos above going from super casual with leather sneakers (photo 3) to super chic with heels.  But at $850, clearly OP and I don't shop within the same price range.  So here's my interpretation of this outfit within a more wallet friendly budget {I've added these "leather" pants to my Xmas wishlist!}...

{Casual outfit for running errands, similar to OP in photo 3}

Casual 

{Dressy outfit for going out to dinner. Love the print shoes and the mix of blues and blacks!}

Dressy 

The best part is that everything from J. crew is 30% OFF from now until Christmas Eve AND free shipping with code "GIFT NOW"!

Happy shopping!
