All In The Shoes

Hey everyone! Today's outfit post is a pretty simple one; button up blouse, classic blue skinny jeans, leather jacket, and a very classic satchel. The only thing amping this look up, slightly, is the platform and patterned shoes. My choice in footwear has to do more with the desire for Summer, rather than it's aesthetic, or practicality. These shoes define Summer for me, with the bright orange pattern and wooden platform, so I figured, 'why not?'

Lady Rock

Happy Monday everyone! I'm pretty excited to be posting an outfit post right now, considering last week was pretty bare! Life is still pretty busy, but I will try my best to post at least one outfit a week! If you all want to stay more updated, follow me on instagram @postgradchic

Below is an outfit I wore last week to work. I got a lot of compliments, and comments on how I looked super "rock n' roll" in this look. I liked the thought of that ;)

Flower Power

Nothing like adding some tough leather to feminine florals for the ultimate contrast in dressing. Have a lovely weekend!

Grunge

So if you all haven't caught on yet, I have been loving the grunge influences I've been seeing for Spring/Summer. Though this style can easily cross the line from chic, to trashy, when tastefully done, I love how it adds a good amount of edge and carelessness to any look. After my last Splurge or Save post, I immediately went out and snagged this skirt before my size sold out. While I can see myself wearing this skirt with sleek button ups, breezy tanks, and of course flannel for the ultimate 90's look, this time I thought to just pair it with my favorite leather jacket, a Mumford & Sons concert tee, and a bold necklace for a Saturday night.

Dive-y

Whenever I throw on this jacket, I find myself building an outfit that's just a bit edgier, and just a bit more "hip" than something I would normally wear. It really comes to no surprise, but I do love the influence this jacket gives me everytime. This outfit in particular is one of Kyle's favorites. He said it's because he could see me hanging out at a dive bar in it. I'll take it as a compliment...

Trend-Spotting: Touch Of Punk

Well if the Met Gala wasn't enough to convince you, punk is making a come-back! No need to go full on tough with the trend, but incorporating little things, like leather details, studs, plaid, and lived in band tee-shirts, personalizes a look just enough. I personally love adding little details like this, especially when I'm headed to one of Kyle's shows.

Leather and Leopard

Leather and leopard are both very bold prints/materials to have on clothing, so I thought it would be really fun to go all out and wear them all at once. I kept the shoes neutral just so all the focus would be on the apparel. This is definitely bolder look than I would normally wear, but sometimes, you have to push out of your comfort zone to try new things you may like, and I ended up liking this look a lot!

Bohemian Rhapsody

Something about knowing that Summer is around the corner, and feeling it just based on where the sun is in the sky, makes me add boho influences into my look. Though the temperature is not quite there in San Francisco, I couldn't help throwing on my favorite maxi skirt for a Friday in the office, even if I did have to layer up with a leather jacket.
