Leather Up

Cold today, warm tomorrow. NYC you confuse me with your cray weather, but I still love ya! It feels like every February NYC gets a rush of warm weather, than a blizzard the next day.  It can get tricky at times figuring out what to wear.

Since NYC was blessed with 60 degree weather the other day, I went to my favorite material: LEATHER.  It's a rad base to build any outfit.  And it's adaptable in semi warm or cold weather. Esp if you are meeting clients, running errands, or finally grabbing that long overdue drink with a friend.

 A good leather skirt, leather jacket, and a knit makes the in between weather much bearable to deal with. One of my style goals this year is to build my leather wardrobe up adding a few rad neutrals: light browns and nude pinks. Leather has def become my base of choice as I get older, no fuss, makes a sexy statement in a sophisticated way! Leather Up!

The vest has sentimental value, it was actually my sister's in the early 90s! It's super duper vintage and a gem :)

Who doesn't love a good print for spring? Evelo, you did right by me. This one is covered in a python print and I'm addicted....oh, and it's actually the perfect length for my height.  A classic white tee is my staple, along with a motorcycle leather jacket and bootie heel. With these pieces at hand, I never have to think when getting dressed. I just feel more me when don't over-accessorized.

I guess I was channeling my inner rock star with this shoot lol, nowadays I am starting to feel like one.  Rock on folks.
