(minus the) leather jacket: EXPRESS // pinstripe midi dress: EXPRESS // sunglasses (similar): HERE & HERE // shoes (similar): HERE & HERE
To be perfectly honest, I hadn’t stepped foot into an Express store in years when I randomly decided to pop in last week. I associated the brand with those right-after-college “crap I have an interview tomorrow and can’t spend more than $80 on a suit!” days. I was SO pleasantly surprised, though, by the high quality vegan leather pieces I found in there! Express has embraced the stance that vegan leather is the way of the future, and they now do not carry any animal skin in the store. But honestly…. This jacket– and the one that you’ll see on my next post– look and feel just like real leather, but with a much more reasonable price point (just over $100). The texture is spot on, and the tailored fit is perfection. I think it’s impossible not to look put-together while in a white leather look, and its a timeless piece that won’t go out of style. Sign me up!
