A genuine suede moto jacket for under $200? Yes please!

I love wearing a leather or suede moto jacket over a sheath dress for a slightly edgy office look. This jacket features an oversized notch collar, zipped cuffs, and an asymmetrical front zipper. The cropped cut works equally well with dresses and higher-waisted pants. It will go from desk, to dinner, and straight into the weekend.

Blank NYC’s Suede Moto Jacket is $197.95 at Zappos. It’s available in sizes XS–L and comes in eight colors. Chocolate truffle is even on sale for $111.80 (lucky sizes only)!

If genuine suede is not your thing, there are lots of great faux options, including this one from Levi’s (it’s even water repellent!) for $88 at Nordstrom (sizes 1X–3X) and $79.99 at Zappos (XS–XL).

How much do you pay for kid shoes — and how many pairs do your kids wear at a time? Kind of scandalized at the prices for the teeny shoes that need replacing every 6 months…
