Hey peeps. If you follow me on Instagram, you would have known that yesterday was my birthday, yayyy. I took the day off blogging and just focused on having a good time, and I did. I had a lovely spa day, and a delicious Chinese dinner, with my favourite people. I am extremely grateful for another year and looking forward to greater things ahead.
If you remember, I featured an outfit post on leather leggings some days ago and I got mixed reviews. Many liked it, but some did not think it was something they could wear. So I decided to feature the leather leggings again, but in a completely different way, and I hope it changes the mind of those who think leather pants are not for them, because leather leggings like any other leggings is a wardrobe staple
To refresh your mind, this is how I wore my leather leggings last week:
I went for a chic casual look by pairing the black leather leggings with a blue crop top sweater, chelsea boots, sunnies and a faux fur coat.
This week I went for a more dressy look. The tall black shimmer high neck tunic top complements the leggings beautifully. I am petite but I went for ‘tall’ because I wanted it longer than my regular tops. The top hides all the bulges and bumps anyone would be concerned about, and it changes the look completely. Yea, leather leggings are versatile like that.
I hope this post inspires someone out there. That is the whole idea behind the Outfit Post series, to give you ideas on how to match pieces you already own, and what pieces you could add to your collection. Leave me a comment with your thoughts on the outfit.
WHAT I WORE
Black Shimmer Tunic Top and Cardigan- Dorothy Perkins
Black Max Mara Leather Leggings – UK Tights
Black Bag – Michael Kors
Rose Gold Watch – Fossil
Black Boots – NOSE (Spanish Brand)
I think leather leggings look awesome but you have to pair them with the perfect thing for it to look right. Once I lose a little bit of weight I want to grab myself a pair x
Yea you have to. Just like any other piece x
Absolutely love this outfit! You totally rock the leather leggings. I’ve been thinking about buying a pair recently so it’s great to get some ideas of how to style them xx

Ah happy to inspire Charlotte x
I prefer the leggings with the longer top, but with your legs you can definitely pull off both options.
Thanks Jen x
Love these ideas! My favourite look is the last one. I am always wearing leggings with long tops but haven’t braved a pair of leather-look leggings yet!!
Ah good. Long tops give it a whole new look, and cover all the bulges that need covering. Try a leather pair. You may be hooked.
This looks stunning, I like them anyway but love how glamorous this look is.
Nice. Thanks Emma x
I love the leggings, nice.
Love the styling with the longline blouse better. The lace bolero created a nice balance of mixing texture.
You look so hot in the 2nd Photo from the top.
Hope you enjoyed your birthday. Happy birthday again.
Much Love 💖 Mojisola

Thanks Moji…Yes I had an amazing time x
I love the look of these leggings! Once I lose a bit more weight I’d definitely consider buying some as they really do look fantastic. I’d prefer to wear them with a longer top as my bum is huge and I couldn’t pull off a top that doesn’t cover it.
Great stuff Daniella.
I love this look, it really is my style, I just feel at my age now too old to be able to wear it 🙁
You aree never too old to play dress up. Just give it a go x
I love how you’ve style both looks! You look fantastic!
Leather leggings are the best; fun to wear and super versatile!

Yea they are so versatile. Thanks Jackie x
I like this look a lot. You look so confident and gorgeous. I do however, think that leggings are hard to wear and haven’t ever worn them. I do like the leather pant look, and have a pair of faux leather ones. They are less bodycon and easier to style.
Oh I will look out for one of those. Do an outfit post with it so I can see x
Here is the post I did wearing my faux leather pants

The leggings look very versatile and will compliment many outfits and looks.
Yea it will. Love it now.
These look amazing on you, I really love how you’ve styled this outfit, it’s so versatile. This look is lovely for day, but I could totally see this with a pair of scrappy heels and a little leather jacket for dinner or drinks! also REALLLLLYYYYYYY love your bag. I’m such a Michael Kors addict <3
Yea it can work as an evening party look as well. I do love my Michael Kors. Building my collection slowly but surely.

I love leather leggings! I remember I bought one from H&M a year ago and they were my favourite, they looked so good and were so comfy that I almost cried when they broke and H&M doesnt sell them anymore.
I love your handbag too!
Dominika
Oh my. Check other stores for a similar one. You may get lucky x
You look great. The leather leggings really suits you with the long top. I love your hair too. My favourite is the second look

I think you look incredible in this outfit. I read your last post too and while you look fantastic, I honestly don’t think I could pull them off. However, you have inspired me to try a pair on next time I’m out and about.
Oh good. All I want to do is inspire. Thanks for reading x
That outfit really suits you. I love the outfit. I have never worn leather leggings and not sure if they would suit me!
Thanks. It should, give it a go. You never know.
