Casual Monday:: Faux Leather Leggings...

Hello and happy Monday!

I hope you had a nice weekend. I was feeling a little tired after a busy weekend, so I kept things a bit simpler by using a favorite piece, faux leather leggings, to dress up a graphic tank and striped blazer. I typically discourage wearing leggings as pants unless its paired with a tunic or a longer tee (like I chose). My main reasoning for this is obvious; leggings are made with thin fabric and sometimes (most of the time) very sheer. Also they fit closely and can be very unforgiving. Faux leather leggings are made with a much thicker fabric. Though the sheer factor is not an issue with these leggings, they still fit closely -which is why I choose to almost always pair them with longer tops or tunics.

I really appreciate the simplicity and effortless look of this outfit. It is a great go-to look for any occasion. The leggings elevate the look from just so-so to edgy and confident. The blazer ties everything together perfectly.

I absolutely adore this delicately layered necklace from Lotus Boutique here in Charlotte. It's barely-there design adds an extra chic without competing with the leggings.

I have some fun holiday looks coming up later this week! But you will be seeing these leggings again in the near future, I feel certain! ;)

Thanks for reading!
