This week's cooler, blustery weather has definitely had me defaulting to my workhorse formula for dressing --leather jacket, hat, jeans and boots.

Yesterday I went pretty full-on RATE. It was Friday, it had been a long (but productive!) week at work and I was tired.

So leather moto and beat up jeans it is. Paired with a super comfortable pair of boots (these recently acquired Zara cutout and chain ankle boots are SO comfortable, especially with a cushy innersole in them --even worn without socks, which is rare for my fussy feet.

Went for the black with reddish brown/burgundy color scheme. The more subtle add is that all of yesterday's jewelry was vintage sterling snake jewelry. However, all of the pieces are pretty dainty --so you actually have to look twice IRL to even notice the snake theme going on.

Knit beanie worn as snood: Urban Outfitters
Burgundy/Brown and black leopard sweatshirt: Lush (via Nordstrom Rack in Seattle)
Ombre dyed leather motorcycle jacket: Muubaa in the color "Redwood" (via ASOS)
BF Jeans: Aeropostale (these are the ones I bought in both 00 and 0 when they were on sale for $16 --so I'd have the option of bigger/baggier or slightly less slouchy. These are the 00 and I like that they are loose but not overly baggy with the looser sweatshirt.
Boots: Zara
Bag: Vintage 80s (via a NYC consignment store)

Sunglasses: Rayban Aviators in gunmetal (via Zappos)

Silver and leather snake necklace: Vintage 70's by designer Ilana Goor (via a private sale when I was in the biz)

Sterling cobra snake earrings: vintage --love that these are two parts so they look like he's crawling through your ear. So fun! (via ebay)
Sterling hand grasping angry snake ring: vintage (via Long beach flea market a couple of weeks ago for a whopping $15. I loved the really unusual design and really loved that it was so small it actually fits my tiny ring finger without having to have it resized. Woot!
