Leather Leggings Series

Ever obsess over a statement piece so much but you've already worn it and everyone has seen it posted all over your facebook, instagram and twitter? Well surprise! You don't have to throw that statement piece you adore away! I am all for no repeats but let's be real, if it aint broke, don't fix it, right?  The trick is to basically give it a face lift every time you wear it. You want that adoring statement piece to make it's debut as if it's never been seen before! That is where Brandom comes in, I am here to give you more ideas on how to wear those favorite pieces of yours again and again. Please do not be shy to comment with what favorite pieces of yours are in need of a fresh look!

Let me just say, leather leggings are one of those pieces, I just can't get over. To some leather leggings can be a little intimidating. It's a texture we are not use to seeing on pants all the time, so to create a look with them can sometimes be challenging--a fun challenge, to say the least!

Stay tuned to see how I pair my leather leggings in what I will be calling the "Leather Legging Series", these looks will be giving you ideas the whole way through Spring!

Black, red and leopard...need I really say more?
I love this look for some errands or a casual lunch date, in the city.

Here, I mixed leather in two different colors, black and brown. I combined them with a bright green cotton T, and this True Religion denim and corduroy jacket. I can't get enough of the accents of the corduroy on the pocket and on the elbow pads. I polished this outfit off with one of my other obsessions, this chunky silver necklace. I love this necklace with this outfit because this necklace is very easy to dress up but it gave this casual look just enough pop and tied all these textures together. Doesn't get much better than that! Sorry for the limited amount of pictures for this look.

What's in a Bag



I don't know about you but I have to have a big bag to literally carry my life around in, during the week. I have 10 million things going on and my purse assists in getting me through all of them.  Black is probably my favorite color to wear. I love a pop of color with some cool neutrals, so black takes the cake in color for a lot of my accessories.

Today, I paired this Havre' Benard bag that was a #fabfound from Marshell's with a pair of gray boyfriend corduroys from J. Crew and one of my favorite pairs of ankle strap booties from Nine West. To polish off my look, I added that pop color I was talking about, with a red Urban Outfitter blazer and added some sparkle with a Michael Kors, rose gold watch.

What's your BRANDOM
