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.

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

The Find: A Striped Tee

Without question, the most worn item in my wardrobe is a black-and-white striped tee. I wear it in winter under sweaters, in spring with white jeans, in summer with black shorts. I’ve been wearing the same one for years (it’s the best). But they don’t make it anymore. So here are some options for replacement.
