How to Style: Leather and Lace
s
Awhile back, I had a conversation with a friend discussing how I would like to get a pair of leather leggings. Living in Florida, it is tough to really justify purchasing a pair since I would wear them fairly infrequently. However, I love how leather looks paired with lace, cozy sweaters and other soft pieces. She said she did not feel comfortable wearing leather because she believed it would look too edgy or super trendy and I convinced her that you can create non-intimidating fashion forward looks with all kind of leather pieces. The conversation inspired me to create these three leather and lace looks that are feminine and flattering for almost everyone.
The Leather Skirt

This black leather skirt is a classic and will last for many years. Pencil skirts are notoriously flattering and this one is no exception. This beautiful white lace top with dramatic sleeves makes this a look that will turn heads. The skirt is available at www.neimanmarcus.com and the top is available at www.nordstrom.com.

I hope this gives you some inspiration on pairing leather and lace together!
