As unsure as I am about how the term "stud muffin" ever came to be (which is extremely unsure...did someone put studs on a muffin and think it looked good? Was the muffin even edible anymore?), I am sure about how much we love studded jackets here, at MARCH, for the fall. The studs add flare to would-be-ordinary jackets.
The first look revolves around the ornate detailing on both the cropped jacket as well as the baroque pattern of the Cynthia Steffe Briella dress. The dress is form fitting and highlights the waist to create a flattering silhouette. The studded jacket maintains the edgy look of the dress with the red and black palette. Because of the bold character of the dress, minimal accessories are needed. Adding a simple clutch and ring are the only things you need. Arm candy is a growing trend, especially with the younger generation; however, there are certain outfits where you can eighty-six the arm party and stick with a simple bracelet. It's like saying you can never have too much of _________ (fill in the blank) but I can attest to the falsity of that idiom: I am currently eating out of an endless box of Godiva chocolates and I know that I've had too much...the only issue is that I can't stop. With accessories, though, you can over do it and when you reach that point, it begins to detract from the outfit.
The second look is much less busy print wise, and for this reason, a lot of jewelry won't take away from the outfit. A simple dark wash jean and patterned blouse always are a go-to for the fall. And this studded utility jacket from BB Dakota is the perfect jacket to keep you warm on the chillier days, especially with its soft lining. The studs add a fun element to the jacket and make it more unique than all of the other utility jackets that are trending this fall. The bag we paired with the outfit also has studs on it to keep with the theme. We added a lot of fun black and gold accessories that go with the black and white houndstooth blouse to complete the look.
