Closet Raid: How To Wear a Leather Skirt at Work

leather_skirt

When you think of office-appropriate attire, a leather skirt probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. I picked up this amazing bronze leather pencil version at a thrift store a while back and immediately saw its potential for adding some spice to my weekday wardrobe.

Below are 4 looks that can help put some oomph into your work week!

This one works for even the most conservative environments. Normally, I hate wearing suits because they often seem so stuffy. The skirt gives the look some attitude while still staying polished and professional.

I love the juxtaposition of a feminine silk chiffon blouse paired with a bossy leather skirt.  This is a great way to mix up an otherwise boring workday.

Whenever I’m having a bad case of the Mondays, adding a few luxe elements to my ensemble always help cheer me up.  This would be a great outfit to wear if you were headed out to dinner and drinks after work or to the office holiday party.

Ahhh… the perfect casual Friday outfit.  Donning a leather skirt is a great way to round out the work week when paired with a cozy knit sweater and chic ankle boots.

Closet Raid: 1 LBD Worn 5 Ways

Ahhh… the little black dress.  It’s one of those wardrobe staples that never seems to lose it’s appeal. And with good reason. It’s universally flattering, extremely versatile, and appropriate for a range of occasions.

I purchased this Kenneth Cole number for just $30 at Century 21, and thought I’d do another Closet Raid to show my favorite takes on this classic. 

NIGHT ON THE TOWN

A WALK IN THE PARK

A denim jacket and comfy kicks makes the look casual and laid-back for running errands around town.

GETTING DOWN TO BUSINESS

A classic blazer and crisp oxford shirt makes this dress ready for the boardroom. Black patent maryjanes and a matching belt help polish off this ensemble.

LADIES WHO LUNCH

{Tommy Hilfiger cardigan, Forever 21 belt, Charlotte Russe heels}

What could be sweeter than a soft pink cardigan and ladylike pearls? Perfect for afternoon tea or lunch with the girls.

TOTALLY BAD@$$

{Andrew Marc jacket, Dolce & Gabbana shades, Kenneth Cole heels}

Last, but not least, a tough leather jacket, mysterious shades and no-nonsense heels help bring out the LBD’s sassier side.  Just don’t forget the don’t-mess-with-me attitude before you walk out the door.

Oh, and by the way, it’s TUMBLR TUESDAY!  So here’s your chance to recommend me in the fashion directory!
