Blake Lively goes feminine with a little edge

With the holiday season comes a slew of parties and get-togethers which always leads to the inevitable question – “What am I going to wear?”  Take a cue from Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively and go for the unexpected; pair a super feminine dress with a chic leather jacket. This is such an easy look to incorporate and you’ll stand out in the endless sea of monotonous holiday cocktail dresses. Blake’s layered dress in hot pink is sexy but her leather motorcycle jacket balances out her look. If you’re not so hot about the pink, a deep teal or shocking blue is a great alternative. When it come’s to leather jackets, only the softest will do. Stay away from bulky or stiff leather, go instead for light weight, fitted leather that hugs your every curve. Check out the exclusive “Gemma” layered leather jacket below.
