My mom's birthday was last November 1st and as always our family decided to do a mini photoshoot. I decided to wear my recently thrifted dress. I ended up coming up with two different looks for it. I ultimately ended up going out with the first one (leather jacket outfit) since it's more "me" per say. 

This outfit just yells Sharmaine in my opinion. It's girly but not too girly with a hint of punkiness. I remember having this punk phase in 8th grade before I even had a clue as to what that means. I would wear black and gold gloves everyday as if I'd go cruising on my motorcycle. 

Knitted Cardigan - Love Story | Dress - Thrifted | Tights - JC Penney | Booties - Windsor

Living in Southern California means warm autumn and this knitted cardigan is my favorite replacement for the leather jacket if it's sunny but chilly at the same time.

Which one is better in your opinion? How do you feel about tights?

Now let's show them off with some flash ;-;
