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.

Saw It On Social: Rooted

A few months ago, my husband killed two of my plants. I was out of town for several weeks, and while I was away, he apparently forgot that plants need water to live. So when I returned, my snake plant and my Calamondin tree were both dead, while his braided money tree continued to thrive. […]

The Find: A Versatile Sweater Jacket

It’s allegedly spring. However, for every minute of sunshine, there seems to be an hour of rain and gloom. So while I’d love to wear lighter spring pieces, it’s time to bring on the layers.

Business Casual Outfit: Linen Closet

And just like that, it’s April. Summer is almost upon us, and the retailers are filled with linen wares. Now, you know that I am usually unwilling to wear linen to work due to the wrinkles. But in this post-pandemic world, perhaps my mind can change.
