LOOK 3

Most of us have a plaid top or two or three in our closet.  I pulled out this plaid top and paired it with one of my faux fur vests another common fashion statement the past several years.  Lastly, I added my new leopard pumps that I purchased at the Grand Opening of the Stein Mart in Deerfield.  See the post HERE.

I have to admit I stole this look from on IG account I follow (@sarahtondello).  When putting together my looks, I knew I wanted to try this – pattern mixing is always a challenge for me so putting plaid with leopard is way out of my box.  I am always trying to push myself and am inspired for all those fashionistas I love to follow!

Added a statement necklace and other bling.  The only thing missing would be a purse…a leopard purse, which surprisingly I don’t own.  Sarah had one in her flat lay.  I loved the whole look so much.  As a result, I just ordered a leopard purse!

Shopped my closet for this entire look.  Snake skin print is big on trend right now.  I recalled that I had this great Michael Kors snakeskin print top with silver stud details.  My silver Asos booties and the statement necklace from the look above completed this look!  Easy to put together and on point with all the current trends.  The top is figure flattering because it’s not clingy and slightly oversized adding to the comfort!

I feel rather badass in this look!  This sweater/sweatshirt is so unbelievably soft and so comfy!  I purchased it at Glik’s when we were on our long weekend get away in Saugatuck.  The pearls, silver beads, and sleeve cuts outs made it so appealing to me…it’s always in the details!  It’s oversized and is figure flattering.  Combat boots are currently on trend although I’m not really a fan.  I could embrace these Guess Groovi Motorcycle Booties!  The straps, pearls and studs make them more interesting and much cuter than the typical combat boot.

If you follow FTF, you already know that I’m a sucker for all things glitter and sequins.  You also know that I typically am fancy, dressed up and don’t mind being over dressed at any given event.  Why not dress up your faux leather leggings!  Again, I shopped my closet for this sequined tank top, Calvin Klein jacket and sequined embellished pumps!  With the holidays right around the corner, this seemed like a great option!  Add some blinged accessories and your holiday ready!

Why not have two fancy looks?  I’ve had this one shoulder crushed velvet top in my closet with the tags still on for years…literally years!  Not sure why I’ve never worn it but if I really thought about it I think because I couldn’t figure out what to wear for pants or a skirt.  Pairing it with my faux leather leggings seemed like a good time to pull the tag off!  This would also be a great holiday look.  I switched out the jewelry from the look above but kept the same sequined pumps.  The gathering on the sides make this top figure flattering!

Camo is another hot trend that has continued on from last year!  I thought it would make a cute super casual look paired with the faux leather leggings!  The fact that this sweatshirt was cropped, gray and had black arm stripes made it different than any others I already had in my closet.  Wearing this top is a major stretch for me as I typically would wear something longer to hid my midsection, hips and upper thighs.  Since my weight loss, I’m trying to push myself into other looks that I wouldn’t have dreamed of wearing in the past!

FAUX LEATHER LEGGING

You know that feeling…they look great on others but I’m not sure they’re for me!  Will it be a waste of money?  I can’t say enough about these faux leather leggings I purchased on Amazon.  I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on them.  This particular pair is high waisted, which is great for holding you in and minimizing any muffin top issues vs a lower banded waist.  I wash them in cold water and hang them to dry. Have I sold you on them yet?  You won’t be disappointed!  Since I love this pair so much and have them on high repeat, I decided to investigate other more expensive pairs wondering if I’d find a pair I’d love even more.  No such luck!  I have yet to try on another pair that I liked as much!  It’s no secret, that I’m obsessed with my faux leather leggings!  I’d wear them every day if I could get away with it!  Everything goes with faux leather leggings…there’s not a single thing that you couldn’t figure out how to style it with faux leather leggings!
