The thing about suede is that it is much more than a fabric. The texture literally has the ability to take you back to a certain decade. When I think of suede, I instantly think of Halston in the 70's but also the 19th century. That's kind of one of the greatest strengths about fashion, a specific cut or a certain fabric can really bring you back in time.
Dressing in suede is much easier than anything else because it is a super understated fabric. I couldn't pair a sequin jacket with sequin boots, or a denim jacket with denim boots and be effortless at the same time. I feel like its one of the only textures that can be worn in an outfit entirely.
If there are two aspects in clothing that I am addicted to, it would be fringe and sequins. Seriously, I never pass by a sequin or fringe piece without talking myself out of why I don't need it.
I usually don't like to spend much on trend based items but this jacket has been in my closet since 9th grade. Being a legitimate clothes hoarder has its pros and cons. I never get rid of ANYTHING because I know I will be looking for it 5 years later but on the other hand, I don't think I can actually fit another jacket in my small New York City closet.

A few posts ago, I mentioned Betsy from Mindful Style. She got me hooked on a new brand called Everlane where they manufacture all of their own products. They have the best selection of inexpensive basics to create your entire wardrobe around.
