This outfit ensures extreme comfort and flexibility as you hop from one errand to the next. We love the loose fit, charming print and flutter collar on this t-shirt by Testament.

Outfit of the Day!


Ever wanted to jump on a Harley and ride off into the sunset? Yoana Barashi's Material Girl jacket will help you fulfill your rebellious fantasies while at the same time maintain your feminine side. The zippered detailing along the collar, along the cuffs, at the shoulders and the front pockets toughen up the jacket's fitted feminine cut. We have fallen for every detail - from it's plunging collar and flared sleeves, to it's cinched waist and flared peplum. And finally, the pink lining sweetens the deal - before you know it, this jacket is yours! We have paired it with a pair of jeans, but it's incredibly versatile. Throw it on over a fitted dress or wear it with a pencil skirt. If you're feeling particularly daring wear it with leggings and knee high boots. You'll definitely want to hop on that Harley and ride away!
