I devoured this post because I have the same jacket (in black) and it has stumped me on more than one occasion even though I love it. This is FRESH inspiration and I love it! Thank you!!

I was looking at this jacket but not sure about how much I would get out of it - you’ve certainly solved that! This was so full of inspiration!

Any advice on sizing? The nearest store is several hundred miles away, so I’m trying to get a sense of fit beyond the measurements.

Aaww, thanks so much for reading! I sized down to an xxs because I wanted to wear it as a top and was worried about bulkiness, but I’m curious about how the xs would’ve fit. It is a tiny bit cropped, so I’m wondering if my regular size would’ve been fine. If you don’t want it to be cropped, I’d go for your regular size! x

I’ve always practiced this with 6 outfits but 6 can definitely become 18! It’s also a great practice when you travel so you can pack light ;)

You're so right!! Doing this before a trip has definitely helped me pack more efficiently. Thanks for reading, Tamara! x

I have been casually wanting a cropped leather jacket, but this post has moved it to a more intentional item on my list!! I loved all your outfit combinations, I particularly loved #5 and #7, I love how they're pretty much opposite but they work so well.

Aw, thank you!! I honestly didn’t realize how versatile a jacket like this could be but the ideas just kept flowing. I can’t wait to see what you find in Paris! x

Thanks, Sigrid! Some were just little tweaks here and there, but I surprised myself, too, with how many I was able to create. x

Thanks for reading, Anika! I know, me too. I’m very close to pulling the trigger on a pair of ecru jeans (I currently don’t have a pair) so I can recreate this look. x
