T-shirt: SongDrapey cardigan: Plenty
Belt: Danier leather
Skirt: Urban Outfitters
I wanted to experiment with the idea of making something tough and edgy, soft and feminine. The item in question was this liquid mini-skirt from Urban Outfitters. It's the perfect item to wear for sex factor out and about, but in this instance I wanted to wear it somewhere during the day. To tone down the sexiness, I wore it with simple, solid colors and flats, which were not shown here. I like the contrast of the bright blue against the muted rose shade of the cardigan. The cardigan's soft draping also makes this outfit more girlish than vampish. Finally I added the black belt for subtle visual detail. If you want to wear an outfit like this, but want some accessories, I would stress to keep it simple - a cocktail ring, or a thin, single stranded necklace will do, as anything more will just overpower this outfit.
By the way, you only have 1 more day to enter my LNA zipper leggings giveaway!!

I think that leather can be made soft an demure with flowy touches. Perhaps a pale pink tank - one that is drapey. I think it would look gorgeous loosely tucked into the skirt - it would also provide a juxtaposition between good and innocent and rebellious and bad to the bone. Very fun! :)
Anything you wear looks ladylike. :) I love the draping of the cardigan against the leather. Very cozy with a slice of sexy on the side. Nice!
Lovely look! The colours are great together - good balance of dark, light and bright!
It can be a bit challenging to make some tougher/sexier items work for daytime, but I think you really nailed it here! So nice!
that Drapey cardigan really looks soft ^.^

you totally made it work for day!
very sweet - really love the idea of softening up the leather.
lovely. i like how you paired all the pieces together. : )
i love the flowy cardigan with the leather skirt :)
Nice combo. Stylish yet effortless! :)
It's getting freakin cold out isn't it!!

I love that skirt! I think I've seen it at UO and even contemplated buying it. I still have yet to own a pair of leather leggings and a leather skirt. Great pairing of the skirt with the drapey cardigan to soften up the sexy edge of the skirt. I've worn my liquid mini with a cropped tri-blend t-shirt from AA for a daytime look. I think as long as you pair it with simple things like a t-shirt and flats, it won't be too sexy for the day.
great outfit post!
just found your blog :) love it!!

very sexy :)
Great way to soften down the leather look! I think pairing it with cashmere would do the trick as well... there's something about the contrast of soft with tough and shiny that just works. Leather skirts can be a bit tricky - you did a great job!
Absolutely, darling ~ love this look!
