Can you believe we are already wrapping up January this week?  This month flew by for me!  The end of another winter month also means we are one stop closer to the fabulous season of Spring.  Dresses, wedges, light layers, and gorgeous colors start taking over your wardrobe, and it feels like a fresh new start every year.

One item worthy of a space in your spring wardrobe is a light color leather jacket. I think this lighter tan shade is the perfect leather jacket color for Spring.  It will mix well with all the pastels, the bright and bold, and for those of you who love black year round like me, it will also work perfectly.  I love the simplicity of this jacket, but that also still has a few details to give it some character and edge.  It will be the perfect style to pair with sundresses and wedges or just a plain white tee and jeans.

The added bonus, the price tag will not break the bank.  It’s from Wilsons Leather which always has great prices and good quality on leather pieces.  This is my second leather jacket from them, and the first one over a year later still looks new.

Hello ladies!  Since last week my hair was covering this gorgeous necklace in all the pics, I made sure to get a few good closeups of this beauty for today’s post.  I still think a y choker necklace is such the perfect necklace style for any v-neck top.

This navy sweater is a great lightweight and cozy sweater option for our Texas winters.  I love the loose and flowy fit too. It pairs perfectly with skinny jeans and over the knee boots.  Speaking of OTK boots, mine are old, so I linked a similar pair below.  If you love the ones I have on, they are the Enzo Angiolini Holdyn boot.  I found a few pairs available on EBay if you want a good deal too.

When my best friend took these photos for me, her initial comment was that this outfit was very Kate Middleton.  A compliment I happily accepted because I am British Royalty obsessed over here!  I spent our ice storm days this week binge watching a few episodes of The Crown on Netflix.  It’s so good ya’ll!

This ivory wool coat really makes the whole outfit come to life.  I feel like you could pair this coat with so many dresses and still have a polished and sophisticated look.  I love the fit and flare style to add a little shape and personality to the coat when buttoned up.  One little detail on this coat that really excited me was the gold buttons.  I don’t like when my coat has brown buttons, and I want to wear black shoes.  It’s one of those silly little things that bothers me.  I’d probably never notice it on someone else, but on me not a fan.  Also, we shot these photos on a really cold day, and I can vouch for this wool coat’s warmth.

Despite not living in a super cold area, I still love buying coats and jackets, but I’m not a big fan of spending too much.   Living in South Texas, I really only need a coat for a month maybe two each year.  It’s one of the things I like about Wilsons Leather.  Their coats and jackets are top quality, but in an affordable price range.  And yes, they sell more than just leather like wool and trench coats.

I hope ya’ll have a great weekend.  I have plans to check out the Oscar de la Renta exhibit at our Fine Arts Museum.  He was one of my favorite Red Carpet designers, so I’ll probably easily spend most of a day getting lost in a sea of his dresses.  I can’t wait!

How To Wear winter white | Striped Sweater | Houston Fashion Blogger Lady in Violet

Hello!  Well it’s officially winter again here in Houston, no worries it will be back in the 70s by Saturday. 🙂  Whenever I post daily outfits on Instagram, I think people who don’t live here probably get so confused why I’m in a thick sweater one day and a sundress two days later.

This cute little striped sweater is made for Houston winter.  It’s perfect for the days that are a little warmer, but when you still need a light sweater.  If you live in a colder environment, this would be perfect for Spring.

I love styling my white jeans in winter, forget that no white after labor day rule.  A few of my favorites on how to wear winter white – an all neutral look like this one.  I add in colors like gray and beige to compliment the white.  Another option would be to add in rich, dark colors like violet, navy, or dark teal.  Think rich jewel tones.

Okay, I think my hair is covering this necklace in every picture.  If you wear v-neck tops a lot, you need this necklace.  It’s the currently on trend y-design, and so perfectly paired with a v-neck top.  It would make a great addition to dress up a t-shirt too.
