Jackie took a simple outfit, then added a black jacket and boots to turn it into the perfect class-to-happy-hour look.
Talk about a great style for the fickle weather this time of year! Jackie could easily go without the jacket if the sun was shining in the afternoon, but is nice and warm for chilly temps.

Elements of Jackie’s Outfit
1. Moto Jacket
Jackie is a self-proclaimed moto jacket fanatic, and it’s no surprise why: This versatile piece can be dressed up or down for how she’s feeling on a given day. Today, Jackie chose to keep it classy with a white turtleneck.
2. High-Waisted Jeans
Jackie is not scared of rocking high-waisted jeans. She wears them beautifully, tucking her turtleneck shirt into them to show them off.
3. Black Booties
There’s a reason why chunky-heeled black booties are so popular right now; they are extremely comfortable and go with every outfit. These go-to shoes are daily uniform material; what college girl wouldn’t want to wear them with everything?
