It used to be that leather skirts brought to mind those ill-fitting tacky high waisted skirts that were a little too long or a little too short, a reject from the early 90's. Leather skirts are back with a vengeance, and no longer are they frumpy dominatrix wear. The new breed of leather skirts are buttery soft, come in a variety of colors not just plain old black, and have flattering shapes, from a-line to pleats.

The pretty ruffles and the electric blue color of this silk Zara top both softens the look of leather and adds a fun punch of color. I love the contrast of leather and silk. Plus, bright tones are all the rage right now, especially royal blue. I love seeing so much color in the shops. Everything from hot magenta to brilliant emerald green. I had so much fun styling and photographing Chelsey in this outfit. She has the perfect attitude to pull off this look!
