What I'm Wearing: Weekend Wear | The New Classics!
6:00 PM
While following street style trends, I for the colder months I always see pea coats, leather leggings and booties paired together. And it's the perfect uniform for fall and winter.
I'm calling leather legging a "new classic" because they're not going anywhere anytime soon. They've become a wardrobe staple. And they're actually pants whereas lycra legging are not.
"LOVE"
And they look great with pea coats. I'm quite partial to my pea coat. I think it's one of the greatest things I've made. And everytime I wear it, I always receive compliments. And I'm beaming with pride as people gag when I tell them that I made it! It goes without saying that I LOVE this coat!
I've been contemplating making another one this year in a bright color. Maybe after the first of the year.
Wearing: pea coat: Vogue 2873 (OOP); blouse: McCall's 6651; leather leggings: McCall's 6404; booties: Just Fab.com 'Leander'.
