If you’ve been keeping up this week, I’m sure you’ve noticed my slight addiction to one of this fall’s hottest trends: leather. Today, I thought I would wrap things up with the trend and provide you with some of my favorite steals, saves, and splurges to get you inspired and ready to shop for your new leather jacket… because I said you need one! Now! Go get it! Okay, okay, wait until you see them first… duh!

I’m sure some of you think – and I don’t blame you – that a few of these options might be on the pricier end of your budget. However, when you think about it, leather should be a splurge – it is for me at least. I didn’t exactly think four years ago when walking into Urban Outfitters that “hi, today I will be spending $200+ on an awesome brown leather jacket.” But I did, and I don’t regret it one bit because I still wear the jacket to this day and it looks pretty damn good! So I definitely think leather is one of those items in your closet – weather a handbag, shoe, or jacket – that you should allow yourself to spend a bit more money on since the good stuff lasts for a looooong time!
