Leather Fall Fashion Trend

Hello!
So I thought I would post this before the last day of summer which happens to be tomorow. This was a great summer and hopefully it will be a great fall. I really enjoyed these weekly posts and I am considering doing some more posts like these if you would be interested .So if you are liking these just let me know below. The fifth and final post of this "series" is.........leather:

Leather is everywhere this season! Stardoll has some good options not extreme amounts but a healthy amount. I love how leather is a classic and timeless piece. It can also be mixed and matched with other items to create different feels. It can be rocker, edgy, sweet, trendy or unexpected all with the help of accesories. Leather is quite an easy piece to math- if it is in the right shape. The leggings are a little harder done but still look great with many things.

For my outfit I wanted to keep it looking a little edgy yet transform the whole "biker" feel of a pair of leather pants. To do this I went classy. The simple white shirt that is cropped makes the legs look miles longer and has a looser shillouette. Looser fits look better with leather because leather tends to be tight. It also has a "clubish" feel to it, it's sassy yet sweet. The shoes were meant to be bold and  edgy to still keep a little bit of the rocker or biker feel. I love the clutch which is gorgous, trendy and reminds me quite a bit of Betsey Johnson who I would describe as a edgier designer. The necklace was to add a statement. Basically for leather try going unexpected. Don't go with the expected cross and skulls bones deal but transform leather into something chic or classy. Also never ever go with all leather. At the most do a pair of pants and jacket, however that looks a little to bikerish for my taste (anyway)

So please let me know if you would like me to do a spring series like this when the time rolls around. Or possibly a winter one as well. Or even suggest something similar to this for me to do!
Love to hear from you,
Ciana
