THURSDAY: HOW TO WEAR A MOM JEAN

I'll spare you the poetics here and get straight to the point: this outfit is really cool. I never thought in a katrillion years that I'd be praising acid wash Mom jeans but this look works. Wear it to an FKA Twigs concert or test-drive it at work (only if you work in a non-stuffy job where coworkers understand why Tom Ford's days at Gucci were a pivotal moment in fashion). Add a leopard-y bag and quirky pilgrim shoes (both Miu Miu!) with an effortless tie-dye t-shirt and you've got a effortless but eye-catching look. Throw on this peach faux-fur jacket from Topshop to shield you against chilly temps and you've got a good look on your hands.

Grey & Leopard

Wiz Khalifa had it wrong. It's not black and yellow. If you wore these two colors simultaneously, you would look like a ratchet bumblee on an acid trip. Grey and leopard on the other hand can do no wrong (repeat grey and leopard, grey and leopard, grey and leopard, grey and leopard!). This fall, rock one of the muted shades of the season - dove grey - in the most classically minimalist and wonderfully-executed coat shapes from ISSA. Pair with bright white jeans - white after Labor Day is A-okay - and Charlotte Olympia's standout shoe in a loud leopard print with mint-satin punches. When pairing grey and leopard, make sure your leopard print looks less Real Housewives of New Jersey and more Real Housewives of New York City. Catch ma' drift?!
