So, church is over! And you have a few free moments to change in something comfy before meeting your best friend downtown for brunch. The spot is your local fave and its very relaxed. You throw your hair into a messy bun, and start working on an afternoon look for less!
 
First things first: You already know that you'll be layering your choices with your leather motorcycle jacket so right now you're just thinking comfort! Not a problem! The first thing you're going to need with that dark leather jacket is a pop of color! The jacket has a snug fit so go with something opposite, like an easy or loose fit. I chose pink because its fun and funky and still super right for fall! The H&M top has a bit of  a tie-dye affect, if you will. So its very easy to match with a bottom.
 
Moving right along: You can basically choose any bottom you want with a top like this. But since its early fall and we still have a chance to bare ankles (if you'd like) why not have some fun with a cropped trouser or legging? I decided on a River Island cropped pant in a rose pink shade which absolutely brought the GLAM to this look! Have fun with your bottom. It's not as warm as before so you'll definitely want to have your legs covered, but covering can be fun! Right?
 
Finally: Shoes are always the most important part of any look (in my opinion). So when deciding on a shoe, you want to think logically and fashionably. You don't want to settle in either area. If you're already having fun with your color scheme, why not keep the fun going! The Dr. Marten boot is the perfect touch because it's comfortable enough for you to rush downtown in, yet cute enough to make this outfit Glam Guru approved!
 
*If you're going with a heel alternative, definitely break up your color palette. Don't do the same color as your top for a change. Try a mint green or nude basic pump and you'll definitely turn heads!
 
Your look is complete once you toss on a necklace, throw a cute clutch under your arm and gloss your lips! I thought it would be fun to throw in this super cute ASOS clutch because it's been a fave of mine for a while! Voila!
 
The great thing about this outfit is that its super functional, so no matter where you're having brunch, you can move at ease and still look amazingly GLAMorous. It's also made up of quality classic pieces, like the trousers and the leather jacket, which can both be used time and time again without anyone noticing the rerun. And it's also totally affordable. The entire look (including makeup and accessories) can be achieved for around $300! For looks that will last all season, that's definitely a great deal!
