Muted Neutrals

UO Sweater, Zara Skirt, Michael Kors Watch, Vintage Bracelet, Reiss Clutch, Steve Madden Booties

I’ve been searching for a leather skirt for longer than I care to admit, so I was ecstatic when I found an affordable one last week at Zara. It’s a classic shape, but feels current with its buttery leather and simple pockets. I’ve already worn it a couple of times since then; once with a plain black shirt and red lipstick and with this camel-colored sweater, that’s equal parts polished and casual. I used to think leather was a bit too rock and roll for me, but it turns out that if the shape is right (like this and this), it can be surprisingly versatile and chic.

    I too am in the market for a leather skirt. I have a vision of a pleated version. Catholic school girl meets biker chick- We’ll see how that turns out! XO

    Love this! It’s so effortlessly chic with a little bit of edge thanks to the high heeled booties and leather skirt. I may have to go to Zara soon. I really want a leather skirt too. It seems so versatile.
