Recently, the author had a fashion inspiration for a mini skirt and a big leather jacket combination. However, the weather foiled the plan. But this morning, they put their inspiration to good use and wore the sporty little Alo Grand Slam Tennis Skirt (wearing XS) paired with the vintage leather bomber jacket. To complete the look, they donned Adidas Samba Sneakers, a Washable Canvas Tote, and accessorized with the James Avery Foxtail Chain Necklace (wearing 18in), Madewell Sculptural Droplet Statement Earrings (also available in gold), and a Museum of Peace & Quiet Icon Socks.
