Leather-esque


Old Navy Sweater. Mink Pink Blouse. gifted JBrand Jeans. Fur from Intermix (first worn here).
gifted DVF Booties. Alexander Wang Rocco Baggifted Bauble Bar Bracelet. 

I've been wearing these wax coated jeans over the past couple of weeks in lieu of denim for a dressier look. There's something about their leather-like appearance that makes even the most basic of ensembles seem put together. And while they do lack that buttery softness that comes with real leather - if you're looking for a more affordable leather-esque option this may be the route to take (I happen to be rather fond of coated clay)!

love love this outfit! You're using so many of my favorite trends, color, leather, and fur! You have such great clothes! how do you decide what to wear in the morning!

Bridgette said...

I've noticed people wearing leather pants for a day look and I like it. If you coordinate them with the right top it'll be perfect for day and not look over the top. You did a great job pulling it off!

I love the polka dots peaking out under your sweater :)

Kate said...

Alicia, this is adorable! I love the polkadot blouse paired with this sweater (speaking of which, isn't old navy just killing it lately?) and the teal color is so pretty!

Cute pants. Like the wax coating and the bold spots peeking out of the cardi

~Chelsea said...

You know what, I was contemplating a leather look or "wax-coated" jean. You make this colour look pretty good! I'd too probably go for the brown colour, agreed. I also like your cute Mink Pink blouse- I've bought 2 of their blouses this fall already!

Josie said...

I LOVE those pants! You look killer; the color is amazing and I love it mixed with the gray sweater.

I almost got those pants and now I'm seriously regretting it. I absolutely love how you styled it with the grey sweater and polka dot blouse. Such a cozy, chic and interesting outfit. Gorgeous, as usual!

Victoria said...

I just caved and bought a fur vest. Your post inspired me! I've been coveting that Alexander Wang Rocco bag for so long now. What a fab accessory!

I love your incorporation of Old Navy clothes into your outfits -I've noticed a lot of old navy sweaters, shoes and beanies popping up in your posts lately and I really appreciate how you feature clothes that "normal" girls can afford and find:) It's honestly one of the main aspects of your blog that keeps me hooked:)
