I’m so excited to be collaborating with some amazing bloggers for a fall trend series.  Each week for the next 6 weeks, we’ll be posting looks that feature a current fall trend.  This week’s theme:  leather!

I wanted to do a little experimenting with leather skirts for this week’s topic.  I won this skirt from a giveaway a couple years ago and challenged myself to create a feminine, work-appropriate look around it.  Fortunately this bow top was exactly what I was looking for!  The soft pink color gives it that feminine touch and the silky fabric adds just that touch of elegance.  Ideally, I think I would’ve preferred a longer pencil skirt that tapered more at the knee and with a flat waistband instead of this elastic one (something like this), but for now I’ll probably be holding out; I just don’t gravitate to leather skirts enough to justify the purchase.  They’re definitely a fun item to style though so maybe I’ll reconsider if it goes on sale…  😉

A few leather pencil skirts that caught my eye:

Niemans | Dillard’s | Chico’s
Zara | Calvin Klein | asos

Be sure to check out the other ladies and how they’ve styled leather for the season as well!  And thank you Christine for organizing this fun collab!
