Pleated Leather

This Week it's All about Leather, but in a Fabulously Faux Way.

Most Often I Believe that the 'Real' Thing is Far Better than the 'Wanna Be' ; But in this Case Faux Leather Textiles have Come a Very Long Way.  Designers have Used a Light Coating of Polyurethane to Create the Imitated Texture and Shine of Real Leather.  This Makes for a Lighter Material Giving the Garment More Movement and Fitting Easy.

This Skirt Combines Two Big Trends: Pleats and (Faux) Leather.  

It Feels Luxurious (So Impressed with the Realistic Feel!) and Very Classic.  Leather has such a 'Tough' Reputation but Contrasted in this Feminine Pleated Design, it Melts Away to a Soft and Flirty Look.

I Paired it with a Structured White Button Down Embellished with Collar Beading for a Simple Clean Look.  I Plan to Style this Skirt with Sweaters, Silk Blouses as well as Tights & Boots.
