If you’re a city chick, spring doesn’t mean just flowers and rainbows and bunny rabbits. It means flowers and rainbows and bunny rabbits and—goddammit, it’s f-ing raining again! So why not hedge your flowery ambitions with a little city attitude by pairing spring’s acid-bright florals with a good ol’-fashioned tough-girl biker jacket. If anyone says you look cute, you can always tell them to eat your dust.
You can even get this spring look and still have enough cash left over for that pesky little thing called rent. With this bright yellow halter dress from
One Clothing ($48) topped off with the
Xhilaration Biker Jacket ($20.99 on sale) from Target, you’re getting your daily dose of bold floral and sexy biker babe for well under $100.
Bebe’s Leather Bomber ($149) is all sex appeal with a tight tailored look perfect for throwing on over
Tibi’s Orchid Peasant Dress ($288). Strip off your jacket after a ride and this mod mini can be worn on or off the shoulder. You may even have a little pocket change left over for a bright pair of heels to bring out the blooming pattern on the front.
Well worth the splurge, this combo of a flower-patterned
Nanette Lepore dress ($325) and
Theory leather jacket ($615) might have you scouring the couch cushions for loose change. But a sexy silk dress and an ultra chic biker jacket are timeless, and together or apart they’ll never go out of style. So this is what they mean by investing your money wisely…
