Colorful Leather

Most of my blog posts are about the fun stuff that I like to wear in my free time or socially, but occasionally I like to do posts about creative wear-to-work outfits.  The concept of faux leather in bright colors doesn't exactly jump out at most of us as being something to wear to the office.  But, as with nearly everything in the fashion world, it's all in how you style it.

Choosing a tasteful floral top with just the hints of color and subtle ruffle detail at the shoulders gives this look a little seriousness and elegance.  As much as I wish I could take credit for this style, this was a little outfit that came together all on its own.  These to pieces were displayed next to each other in Shein's new spring items and they seemed the perfect mates, so I bought them both.

Now, if at this point, you're drooling over this outfit and want to wear it to your workplace, I have some bad news.  I bought both of these pieces so early in the spring and waited too long for the perfect backdrop to present itself before I took photos that they are now both sold out.  But, I do have good news.

I do want you to be able to try out something new like wearing colorful leather and I know the frustration of not being able to find those coveted wardrobe must-haves, and since I am nothing if not eager to help out my fellow fashion lovers, I have searched Shein and found a couple of replacement items that I hope will at least inspire you if not get you started on a new office look.

So, never one to leave my readers hanging, I have fully assembled a similar outfit with links below.  I recommend classic and understated jewelry like pearl earrings and perhaps a necklace or bangle, but keep it simple on the jewelry for work.  A cardigan or blazer would also look amazing with this outfit, and if the grass weren't so high you could also see my shoes for this outfit.  Just know that they were black patent leather peep toes and that I've found you something equally fab and posted it below.
