Leather Day to Night

It’s no secret leather is a must-have for fall. When you think of leather pants, you probably think of dressing for a night out on the town. Leather adds a bit of drama fitting for an evening look. But, leather can also work for the daytime too. Leather leggings are chic, yet easy weekend wear. Pair with a comfy sweater and slouchy boots, and you are good to go! I am still searching for the perfect pair to buy – I think this Paige pair might be the one! Happy weekend! So looking forward to the first weekend in September filled with college football and (hopefully) cooler temperatures! ♥L

Leather is a major trend for fall that I am just dying over.  But, leather can be a little intimidating for the workplace. Lucky for us professionals, designers have made pieces for fall with subtle hints of leather that are perfectly office-appropriate. With the addition of a leather trim, panel, or accent, you will be fiercely fashionable while remaining professional and chic.  The hint of leather adds a raw edge to these otherwise classic pieces.  Make a statement in these mixed material pieces! Happy Monday!

In the summer, you will usually find me in brights, brights, and more brights. I cannot resist hot pink, bright yellow, or neon orange, just to name a few. In fact, I have pretty much lived in my kelly green skinny jeans this summer.  But, I find intriguing the idea of being a bit daring and rockin’ a black leather dress and dark accessories this summer. A little summer edge if you will. Plus, with fall just around the corner, this look is perfectly on trend. This black leather dress is a sassy twist on the flattering fit and flare silhouette I love so much. Check out other favorites here, here, here, here, and here.  Don’t be afraid to go a little dark this summer.  Have a fabulous weekend! ♥ L
