Trends you should never try!


Faux leather leggings...........are just not cute. Sometimes called liquid leggings, these pleather looking contraptions look more like wet suit bottoms then pants to wear in public. A good rule of thumb is that you should never wear leather that looks more like rubber than it does a natural fabric. Trade these troublesome trousers for a metallic dark skinny jean or a double knit dark legging, like the one shown below. Tory Burch and J-Crew both have a great pair out this season!

Always looking out for you!
