In the Mood for Leather Panels

My new obsession this season is anything with leather panels. Designers have really gotten creative with the trend lately of experimenting with geometrical leather panels rather than using a print. It's nice to see a dress with a good variety of texture while still looking elegant. Granted the leather on this dress isn't remotely real, I still love calling it "vegan leather."

It's hard to get over how incredibly easy and comfortable this skirt is. Not only that but it gives me at least the illusion of height. Leave it to a thigh high slit to make your legs look longer than they actually are! However, my favorite thing about this piece is that it's simple enough for you to dress it up or down or even sweet or tough. Paired with a leather jacket, I could probably join a bicycle gang but paired with a formal top, I could fit right in at the opera in this skirt.
