Shearling.

So winter is finally over. Right? - Wrong!

Mother Nature - in her defense - would say, "well at least there's no snow on the ground"

 Anyways, we all need that one jacket that connects the matching dots between Winter & Spring. Something that is light, that keeps you warm during the early morning & night time breeze but yet nothing too bulky. Yes, light leathers scream early Spring, but what about something different.

Alas, the Shearling.

Though the Shearling is nothing new in fashion, nor a new trend, its definitely a look that is often ignored when shopping for an in-between seasons jacket. I noticed it being featured for Fall  2010 in the fashion mags but even ignored it myself. I thought it may look a little silly on me but the more I see it (& the more its going on SALE) I think it actually takes the standard flat collared pleatha' jacket & adds a funky vintage twist with the addition of the fleece.

In most cases the jacket surely reads Boho, but it can be worn with anything your little hearts desire; From skinny's to mini's to kicks to wedges!

The faux shearling combines a good mix between Winter & Spring without being too heavy or too bulky, enough to look cute during those sunny but windy days that we here in Jersey have been having lately.

Cop it.

[this version of the jacket is a little less Boho & more dressy Moto jacket]

Though I only shared the link to three all leather jackets  - you can have whatever you'd like; the look comes in various forms from suede, to denim to canvas each are paired with full fleece collars & lining.

Give it dance - Don't knock the shearling till you try it.
