Rag & Bone Metallic Sweater

The leather on these J Brand leather pants is so nice and thin that they feel like a pair of leggings.

J Brand Leather Pants

 

I am wearing yet another pair of leather pants.  This pair by J Brand is at the top of my list in terms of comfort.  They are thin and conform to your body without adding too much extra bulk.  I paired them with a sheer gold metallic sweater for a night out on the town as well as Giuseppe Zanotti peep-toe booties.  Gold tassel earrings completed the ensemble.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

Giuseppe Zanotti Thigh High Boots

It was then that I came across the warmest fleece leggings that were still thin enough to layer under high boots.

Thigh High Boots

 

Sometimes on crisp fall days only leggings and thigh high boots will do the trick.  This look is the epitome of casual luxury and it is simple enough to be re-created with pieces you might already have in your own closet.  Thigh high boots are the item I worked around and I consider them to be a basic because they can take the place of leather or suede pants in the warmth department.  You can subscribe to my YouTube channel to see all my videos.

My boyfriend and I went out for movie night on Wednesday and had a blast.  We went to Landmark Theatres where you can get VIP seating and services for a little extra money.  Imagine free flowing buttery movie theater style popcorn and soda brought to your seat all throughout the movie.  The only downside was my bladder.  I missed a few parts in the movie due to some bathroom pit stops.  Too much soda can do that, but you need some with the buttery, salty popcorn. 

I think I was the most dressed up one at the movie theater, but that's okay.  I wanted to look good for our date night, yet still be comfy for the long movie.  I decided to break out an American Apparel dress as that is somewhat of a fashion blogger must, right?  It seems like everyone owns one and it is a perfect little dress.  I have it in black too, but I wanted to wear it in gray for a change.  I absolutely love this Elizabeth and James blazer.  I think the color and fit is gorgeous.  The only downside was all the time I spent steaming it when it arrived from Gilt.  You never realize how much of a workout steaming can be until you try to steam a wool blazer.  My arms were pretty sore since I am quite the perfectionist in getting every wrinkle and crease out. 

The shoes are my favorite part of the outfit.  Look at the tread and traction on the soles of these beauties.  I could have walked painlessly for miles and looked chic at the same time.  I love Camilla's shoes and this particular pair is great when there is some moisture on the ground.  That rubber sole works wonders.  These earrings were a cute addition to really top off the outfit.  I really like the color of them and the gold tassel.  This beret is extra soft and comfy and added some extra warmth from the cool air.

Teddi decided to join in on some photos so I hope you don't mind.  She was inspecting my outfit for the night, but wasn't too happy with it since (as you can see) she prefers the "au naturel" look.  She always gets nervous when she knows I am leaving the house and going out for the night.  She prefers me to stay at home and play with her and all her favorite toys.
