STYLE JOURNEY: PLAID AND LEATHER

Hey curvy girls all over the world,

I’ve been doing quite a bit of fall shopping and by the looks of my closet and the additional rolling rack in the middle of my bedroom, I’m going to be wearing alot of leather and plaid. Every season, there is a certain trend that catches my eye and I wind up buying more than I should in that particular trend. I honestly thought I was going to go leopard print crazy (I kind of did) but I had to have a talk with myself about over doing it. While I may have curbed my leopard print obsession, I took on a new one, well two. Plaid and leather.

Last week, during a lunch break shopping trip, I paid Forever 21 a quick visit and wound up finding this tartan long sleeve shirt. As soon as I touched the hanger, I had an outfit vision. I said to myself that I need a leather skirt. A pencil skirt with this. Now, I have a few faux leather skirts but surprisngly, I didn’t have a pencil cut.

That evening, I had to make a return to Macy’s on 34th and of course before returning my item, I had to quicly browse the racks to see if there were any goodies. Lo and behold, I see leather like pencil skirt with two exposed zippers on the front, just chilling on the hanger. I snatched that bad boy up with the quickness and took it ot the fitting room to try it on.

It fit so well. I think I could have size down but when I tried the smaller size, I couldn’t zip it up over my amle butt and gut. I’m going to take it to my tailor to see what he can do. Nevertheless, it still gave a nice and neat fit.

I wanted to create an on trend look and add a little edge, so I slipped on my gladiator sandals, a gold choker, and my triangle earrings for a cute weekend ensemble.
