I like to describe my style as “feminine with an edge.” For the most part, I tend to gravitate towards very feminine pieces, such as flowy blouses, a-line skirts, and high heels. However, to offset the girliness factor, I love mixing in an edgier piece, like this a-line faux leather midi skirt, to make the look more me!

Can I just take a moment to tell you all how much I adore this faux leather skirt? Great! What I love most about this skirt is that it is a edgier play on a classic style (the a-line skirt). The faux leather on this piece is unbelievably soft and very close to the look of real leather. I tend to be very cautious when buying faux leather due to the negative connotation “pleather” had when I was growing  up. However, faux leather is really having a moment and the updated look and feel is absolutely amazing. This skirt was one of those pieces that I liked on the hanger, but didn’t believe it would look very good on me. However, my sister insisted that I try it on and the rest is history. I paired this skirt with a very feminine button down blouse that reminds me of some of the fine china used for serving tea in England. I also added some major bling (thank you J Crew) and topped it all off with my favorite structured blazer that cost less than $20 and my cobalt pumps that really echo the color in the blouse.

Thanks for stopping by!
