Simply put, ladies, bomber jackets are the bomb!
Yes, my attempt at being “punny” is eye-roll worthy, but bomber jackets have been screaming “TRENDY, PICK ME” for the entirety of 2016!
This gave me all the encouragement I needed to revamp one of my old pieces and transform a bomber into a evening-wear worthy outfit. And since I am obsessed with the results, I’m going to endeavor to convince you that bomber jackets are an absolute necessity.
This silky, floral bomber is a 2-year old find from a boutique named Dotsy’s and is, of course, not available anymore, but my research (a.k.a. my Pinterest obsession) tells me that you can find your own, unique version of the jacket at places like Zara and TopShop.
The vibrant colors in the jacket are enough to last my monochromatic fashion soul a lifetime, but it doesn’t have quite enough pattern contrast, so I added a mock-neck, striped shirt which I actually bought at a thrift store, but you can find something identical at H&M.
To finish off the look, I threw some of my trusty, black neutrals, a silky, black skirt from The Loft and a pair of lace-up, suede heels from Zara.
Dress them up, dress them down-either way, you’ll look “bombtastic.”
