10th Commandment: September 3

Limited Faux-Leather Skirt ($70 + 50%-off with code WRAPUP)

Leather and leather-look skirts are hot for fall.  I’ve tried this one on, and I think it’s one of the best available.  I did size up because leather-like fabrics are not as forgiving as wool or cotton.

If it’s a pencil that you’re after, Banana Republic has a lovely one in perforated leather (also in petite).  (I’ve also tried this one on, and I liked it a lot.)  Ann Taylor has a black faux-leather pencil in misses, petite and tall.  Prefer another color?  Ralph Lauren has dark brown, and Bailey 44 has graphite grey.

Want a fuller shape?  French Connection has a fuller black skirt, while Piperlime has a midi-length, full skirt in navy or black.

Plus-size: DKNY Faux Leather Pencil Skirt ($79) and Calvin Klein Pleated Midi Skirt ($89)

    The full-style leather & fake leather skirts look like what Sandy would wear if, at the end of Grease, she couldn’t decide if she liked her “makeover” or not.

    But as a plus-size, I appreciate the options. Thank you!!

  2. Katie says:

    I love the skirt from The Limited, but I couldn’t get the promo code to work. Does it require a minimum purchase?

  3. KC says:

    I’d love to see this styled several ways for work.

      • NWC says:

        Same here! I feel like leather is so heavy that I would want to wear it in colder weather, and I am wary of putting leather on leather (which I’d be doing, if I were wearing my trusty winter office boots). I got a gorgeous leather-and-ponte skirt from Classiques during the Nordstrom sale and I’m eager to figure out how to wear it!

  4. DRI says:

    Ditto to KC’s comment…I work in municipal government management and hope there’s a way to make this work for my conservative, all boys club working environment.

  5. Bunny says:

    Has anyone seen any skirts with leather trim?

  6. cck says:

    Code was for yesterday only! (Tuesday 9/2) I missed it too! I called to see why it wouldn’t work and they told me it ended at midnight.
    Saw a skirt wit leather piping at Ann Taylor today.

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.

The Range: Spring Blouses for Work (or Zoom)

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.
