If you can’t get enough of these leather ladies’ style tips, check out their host picks tonight at our Downtown Chic Posh Party!
1. What 3 closet staples are must-haves for a city gal?
Chic flats, a nice leather bag and an assortment of jackets and coats!
2. How can you wear leather in a flirty and feminine way?
I like wearing leather accents and featuring only one leather piece in an outfit. Keep it simple and dress it up with some pearls or a pop of color.
3. Leather leggings or moto jacket and why?
Moto jacket for sure – you can wear it all year long (leather leggings don’t get along with summer too well)!Check out Tracy’s wish list leather items on Poshmark: Leather vest: $16 / Leather skirt: $25 Retail $125 / Leather boots: $200 Retail $350
1. How would you describe your personal style?
I’ve had this question come up MULTIPLE times, and I never quite know how to answer it. The only word that seems to describe it is eclectic – “deriving ideas, style or taste from a broad and diverse range of sources.” I’m attracted to SO many different stylesm and I try to incorporate them all into my looks and making them my own. I love pulling from different ideas, adding unexpected touches, and I’m never afraid to try new trends. So I think the only way to describe my personal style is eclectic and ever-changing!
2. If you could shop any celebrities closet who would it be and why?
That’s SUCH a hard question, but it would have to be Olivia Palermo! Everything (and I mean everything) she wears is just perfect! Also, I’ve been obsessing over everything Jessica Alba wears lately! Her street style is just awesome!
3. What is the a creative way to wear leather without resorting to a moto jacket?
I’m ALL about leather boots! Whether they’re ankle booties, knee highs, over the knee, flat, heeled, whatever they are – boots are instant outfit makers!Check out Jackie’s wish list leather items on Poshmark: Helmut Lang Gala Sheath Dress: $229 Retail $495 / YSL Tribute Platform Sandals: $299 Retail $895 / Alexander Wang Rocco Satchel Bag: $500 Retail $850
1. Feathers make such a fun statement, what is another bold trend you are loving for the holidays?
Feathers are always fun, but I love the idea of sparkle for the holidays. It’s one of the few times a year where I feel a big presence of glitter, sequins and sparkle, so it’s fun to play around with that trend!
With this trend, it’s really fun to pair some glam sparkle (whether it’s a statement necklace or other jewelry) with a season-appropriate plaid. It’s a fun mix of masculine and glam!
2. Feathers are so festive and fun, but what are your tips for wearing them for daytime?
Feathers can easily be transitioned to daytime. You can embrace this trend by wearing white or natural-colored feathers in small amounts – think feather earrings or a feathered headband!
1. Feathers make such a fun statement, what is another bold trend you are loving for the holidays?
I really like statement outerwear this season. Bold prints or loud colors; I’m trying to stock my wardrobe full of ‘em!
2. Feathers are so festive and fun, but what are your tips for wearing them for daytime?
Feathered accessories are best for a day look; think earrings, handbags, or hair pieces. If you are feeling a little more daring, wear a feathered skirt with casual basics such as chambray shirt or basic tee.
Whether you’re falling for sweater weather or falling in love, our hosts for tonight’s Posh Party – McKenna of McKenna Bleu and Kate of All Things Kate – know how assemble some wow-worthy outfits. We asked McKenna and Kate for their fall favorite looks for a date night that’s both weather appropriate and flirty fun!
If their date night style has won you over, be sure to check out their host picks tonight at their Pretty, Girly & Flirty Posh Party!
This is my go-to date night look – as of lately. Nothing is better than a causal blazer and skinny jeans. Add a statement necklace and a cute pair of heels and call it a night! Whether we’re grabbing our fave sushi or catching the newest flick, it’s a look that works every time!
Fall in the Pacific Northwest is the perfect time of year for layering and leggings! I love this look for a fall date night because it’s comfortable and casual, yet dressy enough for nearly any occasion. While I’ve styled this with necklaces and flats, you can add in a scarf and boots to keep you extra warm during chilly temperatures!
