A Day In Leather Leggings!

Even if I had tried stalking the sun slash weather report and I could not have asked for a warmer day such as today. Sun shining. Birds singing. Everyone smiling. Colors looking brighter. City noise sounding like music. Okay, I may be slightly loosing it, but hell don’t take me off my unicorn just yet. My fantasy world is bound to crumble soon. It is winter still and the working week just kicked off, so no worries on stress crawling its way into our lives come tomorrow.

Before the weekend I was telling you (and showing you here) about some great stuff I got from Persunmall, among which a pair of leather leggings. I was a bit worried on how I’d style them, and whether or not it’s a look we could pull off at the office, and you know what? (being optimistic and shit. Yeah feel free to hate me right now, it is still Monday – illegal day to be all bubbly and smiling), I think we can! Say what? (well it does depend a bit on our working domain, but if you can pull off casual-meets-personal-style at the office, then why not). Persunmall Leather Leggings. One word. Okay two. LOVE them! If leggings with an oomph & edge is your thing these are amazing. And a bit cheeky. They’re normal leather leggings up to the knees, and from the thighs up. In between they’ve got a dark lace/stocking texture, a bit sheer as if to mock leather socks over the knees. Simply brilliant and wicked.

I did wear them with a pair of black stockings underneath cause they’re not very long for me, so I had to tuck them in my boots every now and then. (and it was a bit of a too-risque look for daytime). But wearing black stockings underneath masked this slight inconvenience. In spring, though they’d look fab with sandals, so they can come up to my knees if they feel like it, I would not mind their length. And sans le stockings… dayum! So hot! Think night out.

The fabric feels great, the size fits perfectly and they are the best & easiest item to spice up a look. Any plain long top paired with these is perfect for going out or for a party. A blazer on top and you can take them anywhere actually. Great quality and wow factor. Seriously. For a day out, packed with meetings and running a few work related errands I balanced off their cheekiness with a white shirt and a classic office blazer. I wore heeled ankle boots, but really any type of shoe works. Especially biker boots

Thank God my brother forgot his scarf at my place, cause I took the liberty to wear it and I loved it.

So yeah I was a bit scared of these leather leggings, of how too sexy, too vulgar, too inappropriate they might look, with the ever sounding question in my mind “Where the hell am I gonna wear them?”. But I’m extremely happy I got them, cause they just might be the best thing ever. You know how we all need that one item in our closet, that’s got a bit of TOO MUCH, of that wild razzmatazz, or takes us out of our comfort zone, or saves our asses on those occasions we wanna look smart but still have a bit of edge and not blend in. These are my fave thing right now. I can’t wait to style them with just about everything I can think of, and see how many looks and wears I can get out of them. They’re cool, easy to wear, edgy & sophisticated.

Plus, they’ve got tons of other great stuff, so if these are not your thing, don’t worry, plenty of fish in the sea in their store. Not to mention loads of great tops to pair them with.
