Fake It!

Mossimo Black Women's Faux Leather Leggings, $29.99

I had to run to Target during my lunch hour to purchase a new trapper keeper for work. I decided a 3 ring binder was a bit classier for the office. I breezed through the clothing section and saw these Mossimo leggings. This photo above is a bit whack; the leggings need to be tighter. But they look OKin person, and really affordable at $29.99.

Last year I purchased a pair of French Connection faux leather leggings and they stretched out sooo much. I like the Mossimo leggings because they have stretch fabric on the sides which will keep them fitted. Just curious how they look on.

P.S. The Tucker stuff was in stock. Really cute bohemian pieces to transition into fall. I'll have to go back when I have more time to browse.

Leather Leggings

Lauren is on vaca so we're skipping Wellness Wednesday and focusing on the fashion crisis I just solved!

I got caught up in the hype last year and purchased a pair of leather leggings. I convinced myself they would be a classic item, I'd wear them often, they are better than latex, blah, blah, blah. Well, I haven't worn them once. Mainly because I couldn't figure out what type of top I wanted to wear.  I've decided I need a top that covers my butt and one that can also be worn alone. A 2 for 1 special so to speak. I found a beautiful gray silk-jersey playsuit by Elizabeth & Jane, but it's $490. Way over my budget, but it gives me inspiration. I need to wear the leggings ASAP since it's going to be spring soon! Here's what I'm thinking....

I love the fashion and style of Olivia Palmero from The City. She wears leather leggings quite often. I need to devote an entire post to her!
