Go Faux

One accessory I am pretty excited to see re-appear for the fall is the leather motorcycle jacket. A must have accessory being sported on the fashion elites and celebs everywhere, the moto-jacket or bomber styles can be worn in several different ways this season. My favorites are paired with a feminine dress or worn over a flowing long tunic with skinny jeans. The leather outerwear gives a slightly edgy contrast and an easy way carry a summer tank or dress into Fall.

With black being the go-to shade for the jacket, I was delighted to find an adorable selection of faux leather motorcycle jackets, not only in black but also in grey, at none other than Target! Grey-tones are without a doubt my favorite hues for Fall fashions this year and so since I already had a black motorcycle jacket, and the price of this jacket was unbeatable at $29.95, the grey fab-find called to me! The small size fit perfect - go for whatever shirt size you normally wear not jacket size since you will wear over lighter items - and I especially liked the sleeve length since it hit right where it should (ends at the base of my thumb when holding arms down).

They had the jacket in both grey and black on my trip to Target, however I find that popular sizes there go fast so you might want to call ahead to make sure they have what you are looking for. I visited the new Quakertown location (610 N West End Blvd., Quakertown, PA, 215-529-2720), but you can also order online at http://www.target.com/ if you are desperate!
