Pleated Leather Shorts

August 10th, 2011

360 Sweater, Martin + Osa Necklace, Club Monaco Shorts, Revlon ‘Orange Flip’ Lipstick, Mulberry Bag, Pencey Booties

Leather shorts have been on my wish list for quite some time (here and here) and I finally found a pair this past week. They’re high-waisted, but slouchy, and the pleats make them feel pulled together, yet in a slightly undone way. I picked up this light sweater during one of my few free moments in New York and it’s proven to be the ideal transitional piece for cool evenings.

    Love how you’ve teamed it with the casual sweater. Leather shorts can look sooo bad, but they look great here!

    Ah I love this look!

    Those leather shorts are absolutely divine. What a great find! I bet they will look great with SO much this winter! You can pair them with tons of things. I have been on the hunt for some leather shorts as well. It’s so difficult to find ones that are the right length, fit your body, look good, etc.

    Love the way you paired it with a simply sweater. It looks so chic!
