Jason Wu for Target

Really looking forward to this collection opening tomorrow, I just hope it won't all be sold out when I get there (like the missoni collection). The looks are beautiful. They're classic lines with new prints and slight twists that keep them modern and chic. I love the slight schoolgirl quality (especially the loafers with high white socks and the lunch box(ish) handbag,) and the whimsical details you can find in many of the looks. Each piece seems versatile enough to fit in comfortably in any wardrobe, but also strong enough to stand on it's own. The entire collection seems so effortless and clean. I keep picturing the ocean and rocky beaches on the east coast. That being said, they also look like they'd translate well into an urban atmosphere. I can't wait until I can actually try some on! I just hope they fit as beautifully as they look.

Leather Pants

I was semi-on-the-fence about this trend, but after spending quite a while sifting through blogs and looking at tons of different ways to style leather pants, I'm on board. It may just be because I'm getting tired of black jeans, but I really think that leather pants add something to an outfit. Another texture to play with, a new look that breathes new life into overused pieces of clothing, and under the right circumstances, they can work beautifully. Yes, it's possible to go the rubbery, tacky, campy route, and that may be the image that popped into your head after reading the post title. But below is proof that there are tons of other ways to style leather pants, and I'm very much convinced that they would be a welcomed addition to many denim infested wardrobes.
