styling them: leather pants

 

 
i saw the trend of leather pants emerging as we entered into fall. while i always loved them when i saw them on models or other bloggers, i wasn't sure how i'd like them on me. as i began to see more and more pictures of my favorite bloggers styling them, i fell in love. then one day while i was scrolling through targets clearance, i came across the kirna zabete for target collection which obviously didn't sell too well because their was a ton of the collection on clearance in stock in all sizes, but i'm not sure why. there was alot of cute things, including... leather pants. all through the  november they were in my mind but i never ordered them. then come december, i was itching for them so i pulled up the page and clicked on the leather pants. they were on clearance for ten dollars! ten! that sold the deal for me and i'm absolutely in love with them. this is the first time i've worn them but you can expect to see them again! enough about how i inquired the pants, but if you like them, go snatch them up now- there's only a few sizes left!

i paired my pants with this MASH baseball tee i got from old navy back around september. this is the first time ive worn it because i was never sure how to style it. i love baseball tees and i also love how this one is sort of dipping your toes into the waters that are the military trend without going full out camo. so we have our military and our leather, why not cheetah? i've had theese cheetah flats for a few years and had forgotten about them but i think they look really nice with this outfit. then i french braided my hair to the side since it was like third day hair. so from here i wanted to add girliness and color. i popped in this super cute bow at the bottom of my braid. i got it at claire's a few weeks ago while shopping for a christmas present for my little sister. they actually have some cute hair accessories for around five dollars. this ones like pink and red and yellow and.. cow print? then i opted out of necklaces rings and earrings, and just piled on the bracelets. on one hand i have my gold michael kors watch and on the other i have a skinny BCBG affirmation bracelet that i got from my sweet friend for christmas. i have a gold chain bracelet wrapped with black ribbon i got from charolette russe for two or three dollars last soring. next comes a pink bow bracelet and a yellow studded wrap bracelet, both from forveer21. lastly a beaded white black and gold bracelet that i wear every time i wear jewelry. i tried to balance neutral bracelets with colored ones that complemented the colors in the bow. i finished the look with simple makeup that you can find here!
