If you’ve been following In Spades for a while, you know I have an affinity for action and sci-fi films. I draw a ton of inspiration from gritty, edgier flicks. Those that explore a bit of a dark side and aren’t afraid to be what they are. One such film is Terminator 2. Everything about it is pretty much perfection – the story, the characters, the cinematography – it’s unsurprising to me that it won four Oscars. Perhaps my favorite element in the film is Linda Hamilton. In an era when strong female protagonists were practically non-existent, she blew the lid off everyone’s expectations and set a completely new bar. Today’s #OOTD is inspired by her unapologetic strength.
If I were to pinpoint my uniform, good denim, a basic tee and a voluminous or structured jacket would win. Most days you’ll find me in some variation of the above. It’s versatile and makes me feel stylish and strong, a la Linda. I picked up this leather jacket with cobalt lining on sale at Bloomie’s. It’s the perfect summer weight and pulls an outfit together seamlessly. I think Linda would approve.
I love the pop of color on this jacket! This whole outfit is just perfect.
Aw, thank you so much Krystal!
I love all of this! Getting the jeans in blue for back to school!
Aw thanks Sarah! Love them in blue – they'll look great on you!
