Today's outfit is full of colour, but not really much in the way of my theme for the month:
This top is new-to-me - it was $20 on consignment a few weeks ago. It's sheer, so I have to wear a camisole underneath.
And yes, those are leather pants, and yes, I wore them all day at work! They have a story (here, if you haven't seen them before).
I last wore the pants here.
If you're going to go for the leather look, don't do the fake stuff. It's stinky, it's sweaty and it looks cheap and tawdry.
The shoes were lovely and comfortable all day.
I also wore my cicadas:
Blouse (Esprit, consignment), cami (InWear), pants (Gap, thrifted), shoes (Tsubo), earrings (Erica Weiner), bracelet (faux Gucci, 80s, gift from Mom and Dad from Italy).
Ooooh, I love the colors in this. Plus sexy leather pants! Well done.
ReplyDeleteGreat outfit. I'm with you all the way...Only real leather will do. No plastic, unbreathable materials for me. I love to wear leather to the office and see the reactions!:)
ReplyDeleteGreat to see you, Chrissy! The reactions are the best part, hee!
DeleteDefinitely, bugs make awesome accessories. Love, love your shoes with those pants and top.
ReplyDeleteKraft Dinner is my favourite colour description. I love the colours in the shirt
ReplyDeleteLove the top and the leather pants combo. The orange shoes is great too. Lovely!

It may not be matchy, but I can see the remix potential with the rest of your theme. I think the shape of the blouse is very flattering and a good purchase imo. I think you'll get some mileage out of remixing it.
ReplyDeleteAlso I am crushing hard on those leather pants. Leather is an awesome material. It's a toss up between leather and wool for my favorite material. Faux-leather on the other hand. No. I deeply regret wasting money on a faux-pair when I couldn't find a pair in my price point. Sweaty and gross.
The shoes are an amazing color. In my thrifting, I've passed up some many pair of leather pants, but I think after seeing you in these that I had better try on a pair. DH will want a bike as a result though.
ReplyDeleteI love the print on this top. Also so jealous of those fab pants!
ReplyDeleteLove this! The colours all go so well togehter :)
ReplyDeleteI love those pants so hard. They look so soft - not stiff like the leather pants I've seen before. What an interesting past life they had! (and I say "cat fud" too. Yes, I know you're surprised.)
ReplyDeleteLeather pants also remind me of when Ross on Friends wore a pair on a date and after using the bathroom he couldn't pull them back up over his legs. His must have been Pleather!
Megan, they *are* soft, and they get softer the more I wear them.
DeleteTotally not surprised that you say "cat fud."
Ha, yes, I remember that episode - no way leather would have been that hard to get on.
Kraft Dinner color FTW!!! LOLOLOL
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of this outfit--which looks awesome on you!
Sexy pants! ;)
