I haven’t met one person that is not a fan of the very extraordinary Lady Gaga. She always seems to catch our attention with her over the top sense of style. Obviously, the wardrobe of Lady Gaga is not one that women are rushing to mimic but she is sending a message of women empowerment that I’m really digging! There is nothing wrong with pink cardigans and flower dresses but if your tired of the conventional pleasantville look, look to Lady Gaga for some inspiration

The new sexy look that Lady Gaga is bringing to the table is one of power, edginess, roughness and rock glam.

Don’t get me wrong I wont be showing up to dinner with a bow made of hair but I am definitely inspired to wear black, leather, big sunglasses and chunky shoes.

Check out some looks that yell woman empowerment!

Leather pants and over the knee boots are a killer look

All black attire with a hint of pink is just dashing!

 Ladies, let your inner Lady Gaga out and I promise this, promise this, in this look you’ll look marvelous!

Fashionably yours,

Dee

So I have been debating buying a fake leather jacket vs. a real leather jacket for about a week now, and  have come to terms with the fact that pleather is not FF.

Although, it may seem like the only alternative for those of us who can not afford a real leather jacket, the difference in feel and look is obvious.

I went to Express, and tried on their “minus the leather” jacket and I’m not going to lie, it fit really cute, I was almost convinced that it was my only alternative to buying a real leather jacket… The cost of the jacket was $118 plus a 25% off all outerwear sale coupon, the jacket would have cost me only $88! Check it out below:

I then went to Macy’s, and  tried on a $400 Michael Kors leather jacket and the difference was immediately noticed. The material is so much softer and the look was chic, it wasn’t shiny and didn’t feel like plastic. It was heavier so it would be good for cold months, but of course, the major difference was the price tag.

So, I walked out of the mall, pleather-less & leather-less. I went onto Overstock.com to find that  they carry fashionable and pocket friendly REAL leather jackets. I found this Michael Kors one for $170:

So here’s the deal, with leather jackets, either save up and get a real one or try and find yourself a good deal online. Leather minus the leather doesn’t look good, feel good and although it’s pocket friendly, it isn’t fashionable. A leather jacket is a wardrobe classic, spending the money today will pay off tomorrow. You will most likely have it for years and years to come, that is, of course if you don’t lose yours like I did, now here I am in the market again!

Good luck leather lovers!

Happy Savings Spending!
