Leather pants have always intrigued me. They are so rocker and chic at the same time! {Think David Bowie, Mick Jagger, and the Olsen Twins.} I finally found my perfect pair of leather leggings last year – they were the right fit and right price!
leather leggings/pants :: Leith (Nordies sale)
top :: BCBG (outlet)
military jacket :: Alice and Olivia (MTYCI Consignment)
earrings :: F21
heels :: Coach (Marshalls)
bag :: Chanel
For me, the key to wearing leather leggings is to cover at least part of my bum! I chose this asymmetrical tunic to do that job and add femininity to the pants. And if you look closely at the shoe pic, then you will see that I tucked the hem of the leggings under to get the right length. Last time I scrunched the leggings, but I like the tuck better. You can do the same with jeggings/skinny jeans if you can’t or don’t want to get them hemmed!
I love the details on the jacket – the collar, the lapel, the sleeves. It has a substantial weight so it is perfect over the flowy top to keep me warm.
Have a fabulous Wednesday!!!

Great look, you pulled it off really well. Love that top!
I want a pair of faux leather leggings but I’m not brave enough to wear them. Maybe one day :)
Sam…this is my favorite outfit of yours to date! It is gorgeous, love the outdoor pictures!!! The leather pants are a knock-out and so is your military jacket, it is very stunning!
LOVE!! That blouse is amazing!
You look amazing! and I totally agree about covering the bum when wearing jeggings, leggings or tights- people hello! tights are see thru, always have been, always will be.
You are definitely rocking the rocker chic :) Love that gorgeous blouse and amazing jacket!

@Lilly – Thank you!! Lilly, I am very sure that you can pull off leather leggings!!
@BravoeRunway – Thanks Bessie! I changed my background because the lighting in my house made everything look yellow!
@Cosmetic Aficionado – Thank you Leticia! I was so glad to see at the outlet a couple of years ago!
@bklynlifestyle – Thanks Liv! Covering the bum (at least part of it) makes me feel a lot more secure! Even when I buy workout tights, I do the bend test (to make sure you can’t see my undies when I bend down)!
@SkippySays – Thanks Inna!! :o)
Sam, I am loving this look girl! How awesome is this outfit. Where do I begin? LOVE those leather pants and how they fit! They’re not tight. Love how you scrunched them. Fab! That chiffon top is gorgeous. It’s a beautiful peach, beigy, nude color and love the floral design in it. Military jackets look great on you! I think I saw you in another one. Not this one. It’s awesome. And those python heels are wicked. This is a fabulous outfit and love the background girl. WOOT! A+++ for you!!! :D
