Leather Tees for Fall

Nov 2, 2011

Black: Pied-a-Terre Leather Tee ($190) Navy: Raoul Graphic Leather Tee ($335) Green: J.Crew Leather and Merino top ($495)  Tan: TopShop Patched Panel Sweatshirt ($56)

Last week, I had lunch with a friend on the Senate side.  She was wearing the coolest outfit: wide leg black trousers, black heels, a snow leopard print, silk button up and a black leather tee over the top.  All of this was accessorized with some long gold chains and two big, cocktail rings.  Paired with a french twist, it was the perfect pairing of rocker chic and professional attire.

Her outfit got me thinking: Could I pull off a leather tee? 

Honestly, I’m not sure that I could, and at these prices, I’m not sure I would even try.  After all, spending four bones on a single shirt is a bit steep for me.  But on the other hand, I’d love to try a leather tee with a long chiffon skirt or a colored, ankle trouser. 

Perhaps, I’ll bookmark a few leather tees in case they go on sale.  This long sleeved one in particular.

    I'm digging the Raoul and J Crew shirts, but do not have $300+. Your friends outfit sounds great!

    The long sleeved one blows the other ones you posted out of the water!

    What about a pleather option, Belle? There are some decent looking fauxs for the vegans and budget-conscious.

Beauty Review: Bondi Boost

As I age, I notice many changes in my body. Most are fine. Some are frustrating. Like many women, I lost a lot of hair in my postpartum phase. Being anemic for more than a year after, it didn’t grow back in to its former glory. So I’ve tried any number of shampoos, pills and […]

The Find: Shirts That Don’t Gape

I remember when Rochelle Behrens launched The Shirt — a button-down blouse with anti-gape technology (a patented internal button that keeps the look smooth). The idea seemed brilliant, but at the time, my bust didn’t require an extra button. One baby later, I understand the need for some extra security.

The Mondays: March 18, 2024

This weekend was a tricky one. The warm weather and bright sunshine of last weekend disappeared in a flurry of wet snow trapping our very active 18-month-old in the house with us. Plus, our babysitter cancelled, so neither of us feels ready for the week ahead. But in between making mac-and-cheese and watching Aristocats for […]
