I'll admit I would never have pegged myself as a leather pants kind of girl. They seemed pretty edgy to me. Plus, every time I think of leather pants I think of the Friends episode where Ross has some major leather pant malfunctions and I end up laughing uncontrollably about Joey telling him to, "make a pair of paste pants." (I am so laughing right now!) Anyway, I tucked my Friends phobia about leather pants away and took the plunge. Forever 21 had faux leather leggings for just $13.50! The perfect price point for a fashion item that you are not 100% sure about. Well it turns out....I love them! They are ridiculously comfortable and very easy to style and wear. They still hold a bit of an edgy vibe for me and I am finding that I like it. You should totally rock this trend too!

Black on black with a touch of green. This look is casual chic. It's perfect for a date night or a ladies night. The cognac leather jacket is a great color contrast to accent the entire outfit. Check out the Black & Brown post to get more ideas for mixing these colors.

3. Graphic Hue
Love me a graphic T!! This shirt makes the outfit. I chose to pair it with the Hot Pink blazer (any color would work) and a great chunky statement necklace. Of course I had to throw on my leopard print flats to finish off the look. LOVE IT!! Our Graphic T Time post has more tips on styling a graphic T.

4. Polka Dot Dare
This look could have easily had a pop of color for a blazer or a great statement necklace, but there is something so classy about black and white. It's a timeless classic. The polka dots and leather take the outfit to a more modern 50's feel. What's not to love?

5. Layered Animal
I have to confess, I was wasn't originally thinking of animal print under the chambray, but my shirt doesn't exactly button up these days. (Thus the double time baby bump-twins!) So I was flipping through my closet and thought I'd give the animal print a try. So cute! And the layers are perfect for the fall temps. You never know what you're going to come up with until you try it on together. Keep experimenting!

6. Dress Up
If the leather seems to be a little much for you, use a dress to tone it down a little. This is an easy way to start your venture into a more conservative edgy realm... (If that even exists?) The heels and the necklace add the finishing touch needed to pull it all together. Too cute!
