Wow, it's already December! And starting to get cold! Time to break out all my chunky sweaters. Today's look is a little bit rocker, a little bit flirty and oh so cozy! Leather and Lace is a perfect mix of masculine and feminine (am I right, Stevie Nicks?) I'll share a secret with you. My black pants look like leather but are actually what's called "coated"! So they give you that leather shine (without looking like cheap faux leather) for a price that doesn't break the bank. Definitely a good investment! Of course if you own real leather skinnies, more power to ya! :) I'm obsessed with over-sized sweaters for winter (you can easily hide any weight gained from all the yummy holiday treats! Plus they're so comfortable and a big trend right now!). This is also a great day to night look because the baggy sweater balances the dressier and tighter (faux) leather pants. The pretty lace trim is actually part of the sweater (although you could recreate this feminine look with a longer lace trim tank top underneath). I paired this outfit with heels because I love dressing up a casual style but you could definitely rock this look with flats, especially when you're at the office or home with family. Add a statement necklace or sparkly clutch to this ensemble and you're ready for a Christmas party!
For your entertainment, here's the Stevie Nicks and Don Henley song "Leather and Lace" that inspired the title of this post! :)
