PFC #12: From Night to Day

This month’s Petite Fashion Challenge is hosted by Khatu of I am Khatu:

The Challenge: Restyle a glamorous look that you would typically wear for a night-out-on-the-town into daytime casual wear. Bonus points if you can restyle it for work!

Jacket :: Guess

Skirt :: Xoxo via Macy's

Earrings :: Swapped

I've always wondered - is leather appropriate for work? So for my 1st PFC challenge I wanted to test this theory out by wearing a leather skirt that I wore on NYE to work...a simple leather-panel skirt that is.

Leather can be a little wild - but it is also a classic, and a well-fitted, leather piece could be amazing for the office, if worn appropriately. I think styling is key though - here I opt for a subtle leather-panel skirt so there is just enough of leather to elevate the outfit but with the addition of the slim-fitted blazer, button-up shirt, and shawl they soften up the look making it OK to wear in a professional work setting. I think this look may be appropriate for some work environment depending on how strict the policy is. [i.e. I didn't wear the leopard pumps to work ladies, now THAT would be a little too much, but I needed the height for the pictures]
