Spring Trends Part III: Leather

TGIF everyone!

For week three of the Spring Trend challenge we are tackling leather. Yeah, I know what you’re thinking, “Leather for Spring?!” but since Winter is still hanging on, wearing it doesn’t seem so crazy. I don’t own real leather pieces like a jacket or skirt so I had to make do with my faux leather peplum shirt. Honestly I don’t feel very Spring like in this outfit. I tried to incorporate it into a Spring outfit but it just didn’t work. So instead of driving myself crazy I decided to recycle the outfit I wore in this post. The only change I made was switching out the ankle pant for a full length trouser.

Although this trend didn’t work for me, don’t be discouraged to try it. You never know, it might just work for you!

Have a great weekend!

Casual Friday/The Olivia Pope Edition

TGIF all!

Its been a long time since I’ve been excited about a television show. “Scandal” (Thursdays, 10pm on ABC) instantly sucked me into the world of Olivia Pope (played by the wonderful Kerry Washington) and her “gladiators in suits”. On Thursday nights you’ll find me glued to the television (and Twitter! LOL) watching the twists and turns unfold on this great show. I’m thrilled to see a strong, flawed and intelligent African-American woman being portrayed on prime time television. Her character isn’t some stereotypical depiction of a women of color. The show allows Olivia Pope to be a human being with all its complexities.

Aside from Olivia Pope’s personal attributes, her style is FIERCE! Everything from her crisp white trench down to her stilettos is always on point.

Olivia Pope’s sleek professional style inspired my outfit today. I’ve been searching for a colored suit for a minute so when I stumbled upon these Calvin Klein separates I scooped them up. Red is a powerful, vibrant color so wearing it was the perfect way to pay tribute to her.

If you get an opportunity, check out “Scandal” on Hulu, Netflix or at ABC.com for full episodes.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Casual Friday/Rainbow Bright

TGIF everyone!

This morning I woke up to a cloudy, dreary day. To add further insult to injury, the weather reports are predicting that Hurricane Sandy will make landfall early next week! UGH! A cranky Georgette is not a good Georgette (LOL!) so wearing this vibrant outfit was just what I needed to lift my spirits. As you probably have noticed, I love color. There is something about putting on a brilliant hue that instantly makes me feel better. Instead of having a scowl on my face this morning, I was smiling. Sure I got a few “what the hell is she wearing ” kind of stares on the train platform but I didn’t care. All I know is that I felt good and in the end that’s all that matters!

What are some of the ways you improve your mood?

Have a wonderful evening!

Tough as Leather

Happy Wednesday everyone!

Leather has always been a Fall/Winter staple but this year it’s everywhere from panels in trench coats to skirts. Here are a few pieces that you can easily incorporate into your wardrobe. Leather jackets are great because you can wear it with pants or dresses. If leather jackets are not your speed, why not a leather skirt with a pretty blouse? Leather is a good way to add polish and edge to your outfit. Give it a try to see how you feel, you might just like how you look!

What leather styles are you willing to try?

Have a great day!
