OOTD: Leather and Polka Dots and Coffee!

OOTD: Leather and Polka Dots and Coffee!

Leather (or faux-leather) is obviously a huge trend this season…and you–being the fabulous and stylish minx that you are–bought some leather pieces to spice up your wardrobe. But now what? I faced this same dilemma after I bought this amazing faux-leather panel pencil skirt from Eloquii. I fell instantly, madly in love with it when I tried it on…but then I started wondering if it was too sexy to wear to the office… Now, you can totally rock the darker, sexier side of this skirt for a night out…but I wanted to debut it in the light of day. So, I came up with an office-appropriate outfit featuring the leather panel skirt from Eloquii. I just downplayed the tough-girl factor a bit by pairing it with something light and playful–polka dots!

The graphic, bold polka dots on this simple boatneck sweater lighten the “mood” created by the leather skirt. But, I didn’t want to lose all of my shape and look casual, so I cinched the waist with a belt, added opaque tights and platform wedges.

I met my friend Wendy at LaVazza Cafe on our lunch break and had a decadent treat while snapping these pics. Can you say Nutella Espresso?????

  
I have no idea why my hair looks so red in these pictures! It must be the lighting.
 

After that amazingly potent coffee, I just had to indulge in a little Mary Tyler Moore moment. lol

Outfit details: Faux Leather Pencil Skirt: Eloquii, Polka dot sweater: Old Navy, Sparkle belt: Lane Bryant; Red wool coat: Lane Bryant, Black suede ankle-strap wedges: Sam Edelman via
Nordstrom Rack.

See?? You CAN wear leather to the office!
