… or rather, a lot of leather. I’m leather obsessed this fall! Whether it be an unexpected leather detail like an elbow patch or a patch pocket, or a leather accent like a collar or sleeve, or even a bold pair of leather track pants, I want leather and I want all of it.
When I spotted this leather-sleeved designer blazer at TJ Maxx, I think I let out a giddy little sigh! I’ve been searching and searching for the perfect leather-sleeved blazer and was so excited to find one for less. Finding one that fit just right was key. When I put on this blazer for the first time, I could just tell that it fit like a glove, without even looking in the mirror. What I love most about this particular jacket, though, is the quality. The leather sleeves aren’t too flimsy and don’t look too faux. Ya know what I mean? Leather accents can look cheap if done poorly and you want to steer clear from that!
Have you found any must-have leather pieces for fall? I also have a leather skirt, a leather baseball cap, a pair of leather shorts, and a leather moto jacket that I’ve been wearing on repeat! I think my favorite pieces are the ones that just have subtle leather accents, though. Leather piping around the neckline of a blouse, leather pockets on a top, and leather elbow patches on a sweater are such small details, but make such a big statement!
Oh, and I got the lipstick I’m wearing at TJ Maxx, too! The perfect wear-anywhere red. Not too bright for day, but not too subtle for night. It’s just right!

That Cynthia Rowley tee – I love it! I went into her boutique the other day and that was my favorite thing in the store. Kinda obsessed with it. Love the leather sleeved blazer too! What a great find.
You look again simply amazing! I also like to wear leather! But unfortunately I have no leather piece in my wardrobe at the moment because I sold my leather jacket for a while and my leather pants cause I didn’t liked the shape anymore. But I hope that I can find a new one for this fall ๐

Love this jacket, I saw one at Zara earlier this year I wish I’d purchased!

The black leather looks great but I LOVED the burgundi pumps!
Great look, I agree leather is going to be a huge staple for me as well.

Your shoes are to die for! Love how versatile and perfect for fall they are!
Love that jacket! Unfortunately where I live (San Antonio, TX) it still feels like summer and is way too hot for a fun leather blazer! Oh to only have two seasons– hot and hotter!

I love this leather sleeve blazer! I picked up a faux leather skirt earlier this season, but ended up returning it because it was just too long. I’m on the hunt for a different leather skirt now and I just ordered a jacket with faux leather sleeves too!
This blazer is gorgeous! I just recently found a leather-detail blazer at Marshalls!
Just got this leather peplum top from Piperlime and I’m obsessed. The picture truly doesn’t do it justice. It fits like a glove and is so flattering. Plus, I totally love the full zipper in the back!

Did someone ask where the bag is from??
Just sent you an email! ๐
So in love with this look from head to toe. Where are those shoes from??
Yes!! I’m totally on board with leather for fall. I need to get more pieces though! Next on my list is a leather skirt.
Isnโt That Charming.
Loving the jacket and tee combo. Your heels are such a brilliant color, I love the way they balance out the black!

I love this blazer & all things leather this season! I think I need to go to TJMaxx ASAP!!
I’m on the hunt for a leather lapel blazer a la a tux jacket. That’s my goal for the next month.

I love love that jacket!!! I wish my TJ Maxx would have it (it won’t- the TJ Maxxs in Mississippi are terrible). But you look fabulous! Love this look.

I feel the same way about leather this season! It spices up everyday looks! Love they blazer paired with the graphic t-shirt! Looks great!
Whoa, this blazer is absolutely amazing!
Your posts always make me want to shop! That jacket is to die for, and I can’t believe you got it from TJ Maxx! It looks super expensive!
I think it’s so tough finding the right blazer – especially one that fits well. This one is definitely a great find, and I love that shirt!
Love the blazer Jess! I love the pairing of a graphic tee, distressed jeans and those hot heels! Leather is definitely hot right now! ๐
