I got my Danier Leather white jacket back from alterations yesterday and couldn't wait to wear it. Now I will confess that when I tried it on in the store, I felt the sleeves were still too long and said so to the SA. She explained to me, however, that they always hem the sleeves a tiny bit on the long side because as the jacket breaks in and you get creases in the leather on the bend of your arm (inside of the elbow), these creases pull the sleeve up. If they shortened them to the exact length, you would end up with sleeves a good 1/2 - 1 inch too short. I'm trusting they know what they're talking about.
Anyway, I still absolutely love the jacket and wanted to pair it with something that would really make it pop. Plus it's chilly this morning so no dress or skirt today. I'm wearing my simple navy work trousers and added my green voluminous tee with the tucking detail at the neckline. Over that is the white leather jacket and on my feet, the python booties to bring a bit more white to the outfit. My handbag is my Kelly green one which although doesn't photograph that way, is the exact same colour as my top.
And when I head out the door, on top of everything will be my navy trench and navy/white polka dot scarf.
What do you think? does it work together? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.

Fantastic! The colours are wonderful. I think the sleeve length is perfect too.

Beth Ann - I have a handbag love affair (which my husband does NOT understand at all - lol!) and change my bag pretty much every day to go with my outfit. -

Such a happy look. Tell me that jacket isn't lined with polka dots- makes me smile and it all works so well on you. I am coveting a white leather jacket.

Angie - how sweet you are :) And I like being compared to a shamrock, given my Irish heritage.
And yes...the jacket is lined with polka dots. How perfect is that?
Thanks everyone. -

The fit is perfect, the style is perfect, and it just looks totally amazing on you, Shannon. Beautiful outfit too! Also: I've been wearing my white leather jacket often, and have yet to find an item in my wardrobe that it doesn't work with. We have both got ourselves a real wardrobe workhorse, if you ask me;-) -

About
I started playing dress up when I was 4 years old and haven't stopped since! My income doesn't match my tastes so it's all about figuring out how to thrift my way to a fashionable life while tossing in a few delectable items.
