Faux Leather Leggings: By day

Since my car officially shrunk with the arrival of baby number 2, we decided it was time to go car shopping.  We are making our definite decision this week...Yukon XL or Acadia?  We are leaning towards the XL...it is huge, but will fit all of our needs for years to come. Will keep you posted:)  After the tedious task of test driving, the hubby and I decided we would do dinner (kids with my parents) so I wanted a "day" appropriate outfit that would also take me into "evening" with just a change of shoes/handbag.  My new faux leather leggings totally did the trick and I loved wearing them.  Took outfit inspiration from my own Polyvore set here. How are you wearing your leather leggings?

The leather leggings are great! I wasn't sure if I would jump on this look, but I really like them and think they could be really versatile. Good luck with the car shopping. That is just as bad as having a tooth pulled, lol! Heather

Love the leather leggings and chambray with animal print. You look great!

It's funny, we were between the Yukon XL and Acadia too! I went with the Acadia. It's been a great vehicle, lots of space and the captain seats in the second row allow easy access to the rear bench seat.

Good luck and keep us posted on your decision!

Love those leggings!!I'm 6 months pregnant and wear a 8 in maternity pants at old Navy. I want to get these leggings, but would you recommend a size?

Carly said...

I would do the large to have more room through the tummy and they are definitely fitted through the leg...I think you would get 1 to 2 months wear out of them...It is hard to know with a pregnant body...things fit so differently but for 17 dollars its worth a shot:) Hope that helps. C

Perfect look to go from day to evening with the husband! I have been on the fence about the leather leggings, but your post has me convinced I can do them!

The leggings are fantastic. We had to do the car upgrade to although we don't have the choice that you guys have over there in cars. We ended up with a Mazda cx9 and it's been great.
