A Little Warm - A Lot of Cool

Gals, it may be sweater weather most places but down here in the South we can have some down right warm Winter days which makes a sweater vest a perfect fit. I absolutely love sleeveless tops for layering and a knit adds texture and warmth.

A pretty button up/blouse underneath or jacket on top and you won't be too cold or hot.

I loved this one for it's mix of classic cable knit and modern exaggerated shoulders and shorter hem. I paired it with the most comfortable faux leather pants! These pants fit higher on the waist and have a straight cropped leg allowing for easy movement and show off a pair of sassy shoes! I also love the neutral burgundy color for something that's dark but not as harsh as black.

Sometimes you just need something else besides a pair of jeans and leather is a chic option. You don't have to dress them up with pumps, although 2020 has lit a fire to get dressed up and go out! A sneaker and denim top/jacket with a graphic tee is a very cool & casual option.

Rock 'N Roll

Gals, I love leather! I used to tease Ryan telling him that the way to my heart was in fine leather goods. There's a lot of truth in that! I meant handbags and shoes and he's certainly won me over several times.

Leather as it relates to fashion used to have such a 'bad girl' or 'motorcycle babe' reputation and primarily be used in jackets but today's designs are luxurious and chic! Incorporating leather into feminine designs is sharp. It is a texture I look forward to wearing each Winter.

This sheath dress makes quite the statement. It's sophisticated enough for the office and chic enough for a night out. Add a blazer or tweed jacket during the week and statement jewelry with a pair of high heels on the weekend.
Add some fur and you're set for Sunday church service.

Note: I do wish this dress was sleeveless for layering and movement purposes but since it is actually 'faux' leather it's soft and very easy to move in.

If your going to layer your leather pieces I encourage you to use contrasting textures like a soft sweater or silk blouse. It balances against the slick/stiff texture of the leather.

Walk on the Wild & Bright Side

Animal prints are my favorite patterns to wear and leopard is my favorite of them (oh and snake) but I'm happy to show love to their safari friend, the zebra. Pairing animal prints with neutrals is nice but take a walk on the bolder side and pair those wild spots and stripes with bright colors.

I prefer this zebra pattern design because it's in softer shades of ivory and tan as opposed to the sharp black and white found naturally.

Swap out your skinny trousers for a pair or three of wide legs crops. They're so comfortable and the length is perfect for flats or heels.

This outfit will certain brighten your day at the office but since I'm currently out of the office I can still wear this look out and about (I will NEVER understand why motherhood means you have to wear loungewear) or more likely split the pieces up. A tee with the pants and flats or the top with a pair of jeans.
