As I quickly glanced at the pictures for this post, there was one that stood out. Β I spotted a fuzzy Himalayan monster walking about the parks of Fort Worth. Β Wait, that was me looking like a leather legging wearing Yeti {aka Abominable Snowman} in the woods!

That last picture is the ONE! Β Yeti or Sam? Β Hmmm….
Anyhow, I LOVED this outfit and told Mr. S that I wanted to wear fuzzy coats and hats in all of my posts from now on. Β He said that I should start that as a new chapter for my blog. Β He may be on to something! Β ;)
Those leather leggings are the perfect complement to a furry coat, don’t you think? Β Confession time: I busted the bum out of those leggings earlier this year when putting them on. Β Think loud explosion then feeling breezy in the back. Β Thank goodness I was at home. Β I brought it to a seamstress, and she has REINFORCED the backside. Β Whew right?!
The Style Rx: Β When looking for the perfect pair of leather leggings, make sure you do the stretch test. Β Move around, dance, bend over, whatever… to make sure an “explosion” doesn’t happen to YOU! Β P.S. Β Leather is a great texture to pair with nubby knit sweaters, fuzzy jackets, denim, … you name it!
Hope you enjoyed another “Try a Trend“! Β And on a super duper happy ecstatic note… We’re turning in our adoption paperwork!!!!!!!!!! Β Enjoy the rest of your day! Β I’ll be daydreaming about babies! Β :)
