STYLE GURU STYLE: Leather Layers

Wow, it’s finally feeling like winter here and I can’t say that I like it. Last year around this time I was packing up to go to sunny Barcelona for a semester. Arctic temperatures call for lots of cozy layers. For this look I paired my vegan leather leggings from Free People with a soft cashmere pullover and shearling vest.

I like playing with different textures. Here, I have the furry shearling with sleek leather leggings. I tried to balance the oversized sweater and vest with a streamlined all-black lower half. I slipped into black leather over-the-knee boots, which I’ve been loving since I got them on sale last winter. Personally, I like to pair the tall boots with black leggings or skinny black jeans to make my legs look longer.

Lately, I’ve been trying something new makeup-wise. Everyone who knows me knows that I’m obsessed with Kylie lip kits. I recently scored the Holiday mini collection and could not be more excited with all of my new colors. Today, I’m wearing Kristin, a lovely red, on my lips with the Koko lip liner underneath. I normally like to wear the matching liner, but the mini collection didn’t come with them. These lipsticks seriously last! I wore this color during the day and it lasted through a hot yoga session hours later.

Since I basically only wear neutral colors these days, I like having the pop of red on my lips. You could also try red nails for a similar look. I would wear this outfit to class or to brunch with friends on the weekend. Happy holidays everyone and stay warm!
