A couple weeks ago a friend posed a question: I love the leather trend but how do I wear it for work?  I battled with the same question which caused me to give up on trying to make leather happen for me this season.

That is until I got this shirt from C&C California. It’s just enough leather to give any look a little edge but packaged in a traditional button-up making it more work friendly. It still may be a little much if you work in a very traditional office setting but if you’ve got a tad more freedom while still needing to look professional, I think I found the solution. Not into leopard? Here’s another way to wear it.

Leather Button-Up: c/o C&C California; Skirt: LOFT (skirt sold out, but pants here); Shoes: BCBG from DSW; Doctor’s Bag: Vintage Gucci (gift from my grandmother); Bracelets: Stella & Dot (actually a necklace) & Joe Fresh

More Leather Mix Options: Dress, Pants and Vest

 Note to self: Get this skirt hemmed or never wear with flats again!
