A Frosty Day in December
BRRR! It has been so cold outside this past week! I have been loving it and I’m hoping it sticks around for a while longer. And, I wouldn’t be disappointed with a bit of snow either! The frosty weather has been so beautiful, I knew it would be the perfect backdrop for some photos. It didn’t get above freezing the day I took these and while it was cold, it was still such a gorgeous setting!
I’ve been going back and forth on the idea of leather leggings for a while now. I knew I didn’t want completely solid leather leggings, but wanted the front half to be leather and the back half to be knit. After weeks of searching I finally found [shopsense shopsense_url=”http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=433282726″ original_url=”http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/nydj-faux-leather-stretch-ponte-leggings-regular-petite/3502676?origin=category-personalizedsort&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=&resultback=4642&cm_sp=personalizedsort-_-browseresults-_-1_13_C” save_to_store=”true”]the perfect pair by NYDJ[/shopsense] however, they then sat in my closet. I would pick them up, look at them, and set them back down again, always too afraid to wear them. Then last week [shopsense shopsense_url=”none” original_url=”http://www.alixrose.com/2013/12/take-your-leather-pants-to-work-style.html” save_to_store=”true”]fellow Seattle fashion blogger Alix Rose wrote this post about wearing leather leggings to work[/shopsense] and I felt inspired to finally try mine out!
A crisp white blouse (which I promise WAS ironed, but sitting at my desk all day caused major wrinkles), a sweater with leather trim, and a festive necklace was the perfect combination for wearing my leather leggings to work! How do you wear your leather leggings?

I’m so glad you’re wearing this. I just put up a long post about how I was nervous to wear my own leather leggings a few weeks ago and that I needed a role model like yourself to help me build up confidence. Thank you, and of course, they look great.
Thank you for your kind words, Sarah! I hope that you find a way to style leather leggings that make you comfortable, please share when you do!
Great outfit. I always feared wearing leather leggings cuz I was never sure if I could pull that look off. You’ve put together a wonderful look. After “finally” wearing them once, I loved the look and feel of leather leggings and a cute pair of flats. Thanks for sharing this leather leggings post, it a confidence builder.
Brian – Thanks for taking the time to comment and leave me a picture! The leather leggings look great on you and, of course, I love that you paired them with Tory Burch flats!!
