Grace and the City

One jacket... three ways.

On the way home from work yesterday, I couldn't help but notice the chilliness in the air. It was a rainy, gloomy 65 degrees kind-of-afternoon, one that just reminds you that the weather is starting to transition into what I like to call: my favorite season. Fall is well on its way, and I couldn't be more thrilled.

One item I'm coveting for Fall is a suede jacket.

This one, from the new exclusive Esmara by Heidi Klum collection in collaboration with Lidl, provides the right amount of balance from day to night. I love how you can easily pair it with denim and sneakers, to styling it with a dress and a pair of booties. The Esmara by Heidi Klum collection is going on sale starting September 21st, so mark your calendars!

Scroll down to see how I'm styling this suede jacket THREE ways.

I'd love to hear which look is your favorite in the comments below :)

LOOK 1: A morning coffee run

I opted for a sporty chic look paired with the suede jacket. My morning coffee runs usually require some walking, so I like to always have sneakers on me, when needed.

LOOK 2: Lunch meeting / date

{ dress (old, similar here) | ℅ necklace | ℅ booties (old, similar here) | sunglasses | ℅ suede jacket (on sale starting Sept. 21st!) }

The key focus of this look is the consistency of the colors. I opted for a pair of booties that matched the color of the suede jacket, and kept things bold with a statement necklace. This look would be great for any lunch meeting or a date with a friend, while running around NYC on a brisk Fall afternoon.

LOOK 3: Sunset stroll

For my last look, I opted for a pair of flat shoes. Normally, I like to wear heels all day because I'm a heels-over-anything kind-of-girl. However, after a day of wearing booties, it's nice to slip into something more casual, but still chic. The black bow slides really work here because of how it coincides with the black cami from the Esmara by Heidi Klum collection.
