Out & About Town

This season leather remains the perfect complement to any ensemble. During a long day of gathering gifts, a simple leather jacket can keep you feeling stylish and put together. Paired with an easygoing jumper and a warm wool scarf, this look can transition from shopping to stopping in to meet up with the girls.
