Sweet and Salty

This title is an ode to comedian Fortune Feimster’s hilarious Netflix special (a must watch), but also to the different elements in this look. I’m loving my faux leather pants, which you’ve seen me wear in two colors lately. I’m finding them to be so versatile, and I’ll definitely be using them through spring to show you various ways to use them. As always, my goal is to repurpose what I already own (which the occasional new item sprinkled in). What I’m really into with this look is the combo of strong and soft, with the powder blue sweater (Top Shop) adding some sweet feminine sparkle to the harsher look of the pant. The black heeled booties can take this outfit straight to dinner (sigh, restaurants...) or a business meeting. Since my hair is pulled back, the side detail on the sunglasses (vintage Prada) adds a fun facial pop. This look is chic and sexy without being too much in any one department. Leather pants need not be tight and constructing in order to make a statement. The right mix of sweet and salty always achieves equilibrium, in life and in fashion.
