Leather is a tough look to pull off. Unless you frequent
Sturgis, are in to S&M, or hang out backstage at concerts… leather isn’t
generally something one is comfortable is wearing (of course- the classic
leather jacket can be a staple for a lot of people). I am talking leather
skirts, shorts, dresses, vests- a little outside the norm of a clean-cut
leather jacket. I am just giddy over this. Giddy, now that I think about it, is
not quite the best term used when in conjunction with excitement for leather.
I am obsessed with my zipper front leather mini skirt, and
my new leather hot shorts. The shorts I have yet to wear, I am waiting for more
of that sweltering heat and an invite to a dive bar/ fun event that they would
work perfectly for. The skirt I have worn and it has been complimented and
adored. I have paired it with an oversized, chunky sweater and heels, and also
with a button up shirt tucked in with flats.

A little tip: When wearing one of these bold, and sometimes
more “scandalous” pieces, try pairing it with something to tone it down a bit.
I wouldn’t suggest a low cut silk tank and leather hot shorts if you’re going
to a casual dinner. Throw on a leather vest with a white v-neck and cut off
jean shorts with a bright colored pair of flats… come on, this is too easy.
Effortlessly chic.
