Finally. Y’all, I’ve struggled since the holidays to find a new outfit I love. It was probably all the snow days I’ve spent in leggings and Uggs, but um, ugh. The creativity was gone. But…I’m back, baby! I randomly threw this outfit together for a kid’s birthday party (in all fairness, he is a pretty stylish 5 year old) last weekend and I’m loving it. I wanted comfortable but cool and I’ve landed on a new favorite…striped tee, moto jacket, blanket scarf & flat black boots. Check it.
As my dad would say, “I love it when a plan comes together.” And by plan, I mean a new go-to ensemble. It has all the elements I’m continually looking for…graphic pattern, comfy boots, warmth, versatility and lots of black.
Wearing
Jacket – BlankNYC Easy Rider Faux Leather Jacket – I adore this. Snap it up. Not all sizes are left in black, but there’s a dark olive green that is rad. And the price on this is just oh so good. Wearing a small.
Scarf – (similar) La Double 7 Block Border Reversible Scarf – This camel color scarf has been a real go-to in my wardrobe. The color is so good with black and warms up and outfit in more ways than one!
Top – (similar, same brand) Jcrew Striped Boatneck – My top is sadly sold out. It’s a bit more oversized than the one linked to, but same stripes. They just nail it with the striped tees at Jcrew. A great striped tee is such a go-to for me, especially in spring and summer, but amazing for layering right now, too.
Jeans – Madewell 9″ High Riser Skinny – You know it, my favorite jean. True to size.
Boots – Topshop Klash Boot – These are my new go-to boots. They’re soft, comfy and just trendy enough and just classic enough. Only a couple of sizes left, but they are popular sizes. On sale. True to size.
Bag – Rebecca Minkoff Julian Backpack – I keep thinking “oh, I’ll look for a new bag style” NOPE. I love this so much. I want another color.

Cute! How did you wrap/tie your blanket scarf? I never know what to do with all. that. material 😉
It is a lot to deal with! On this one I fold it in half (so it’s a triangle) place the v of the triangle in front and then wrap the ends around my neck and then bring them back around in front under the v. I hope that helps!
Awesome, thanks!
I recently purchased that BlankNYC faux jacket and I couldn’t be happier! I’m easing in to splurging on a real leather jacket and thought this was a good way to test the waters.
It’s a good one. I hope you like it!
Thank you for the round-up of affordable moto jackets .I am 5’4 but I have a long torso so the one from Express would be perfect. I always find the Moto jackets are just a little too short . great look..love the black jacket, Stripes and scarf combo
Oh, great! I hope it works for you!
Your link to the jeans you are wearing takes me to the scarf page–can you fix–because I love those jeans! Thank you!
Oh no! Yes, will fix right away!!
Ok, fixed. Thanks for the catch. They are my favorite jeans ever, ever. 🙂
Where did you find those glasses? I’ve been looking for a pair like that and I think we have a similar face shape.
I’ve had these forever. They’re a men’s style Oliver Peoples. You might check Warby Parker though I think I saw some similar there!
I just grabbed those boots a few weeks ago. They are perfect; they look and feel far more expensive than their price tag. Honestly I wasn’t expecting much, but they are SO comfortable, such soft leather. I ordered down and they’re too small but had the larger size not become available I would’ve even paid to get them stretched! Great find! Cute go to outfit. I love the stripes done in a not preppy way. I’m sold.
Thank you! And right? These boots are so great. They do seem above their price tag in quality. I’m so glad you’re liking them.
Thank you so much for this post — I had been looking for a new moto jacket but could not bring myself to drop a mortgage payment on it. Bought the one you have from Nordstroms and it is PERFECTION! I’m thrilled beyond belief!
