As you can probably tell I have been into clean and simple neutral looks lately. Neutral tans, beiges and charcoal greys look so good when paired with complementary textures like leather and velvet. This outfit has been one of my favorite travel outfits in the recent months. I’ve been kind of obsessed with menswear inspired looks and this windowpane button down has become a bit of a staple in my closet.
My favorite travel outfits usually involve layers. Layers are a smart idea, especially when flying, because temperatures in the airport can vary so widely. It’s always handy to have some wiggle room when you’re stuck somewhere. It can get a little complicated traveling from a cold area to a warmer one too. I wore this outfit when I traveled from Chicago to Los Angeles and it worked out nicely. To buffer from the cold while I traveled from Chicago, I added this cozy scarf as well as my new favorite leather jacket from Zara. I’ve only had it a month or two but it’s quickly become a prominent accessory in my closet! It’s surprisingly good for cold weather too. Then when I arrived in warm and sunny California, removing the layers was a cinch!

Sometimes black Friday can really come through with amazing steals! I had been on the hunt for a quality leather jacket for months and I was having pretty bad luck finding the right one at the right price. Real leather jackets can be super expensive but I didn’t want to give up on the search. On black Friday, I just happened to be poking around on Zara’s site and saw this fab leather jacket marked down for only one day. This jacket is a moto-style and made from sheepskin leather. I couldn’t pass it up! I was hoping this jacket would be as soft and flexible as it looked and I wasn’t disappointed. It turned out to exceed all expectations! I was really pleased with the softness and quality of the leather.
It’s New Year’s Eve and this year has absolutely flown by–especially the last few weeks! Lots of traveling, planning and decision making. It has been a seriously crazy last few weeks. Traveling can be super tiring as well so it’s important to wear the most comfortable outfit possible. I also read recently that it’s good to wear reasonably comfy closed-toe shoes on a flight in case there’s a problem which admittedly I hadn’t even considered. This outfit is one of my favorite travel looks because everything about it is comfy and low maintenance.
