I’ve featured faux leather pants probably more than any other time this year on the blog. In fact, they’re the most talked about and most purchased item so far. Today on Instagram alone, I’ve been asked multiple times for new and fresh ways to style these pants. You asked, and I’m gonna deliver. Today, I’m bringing you 5 (other) outfits with leather pants you can add to your repertoire.

Good morning, ladies! The week is well underway and honestly, I can’t believe we’re this far into February. Where is the time going? How have you been spending your free time lately? I’ve been rewatching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel in anticipation of the upcoming season 4. Such a great show. And such wonderful fashion. Midge’s wardrobe is just classic. I tried to harness a little of her spirit today: I’m going to show you how to elegantly style a poncho.
Elegantly Style a Poncho
I absolutely love ponchos and have worn them for years on the blog. Today’s ruana wrap is from Banana Republic. I’ve paired it with a cable knit sweater (old Vince similar here and here), which I featured last week with a suede jacket. These faux leather trousers are from Ann Taylor and work as the perfect neutral backdrop for the poncho.
Style tip: Ponchos are all about layering—everything from sweaters to fitted (long-sleeved) tees. Ponchos work best with trousers, jeans, or leggings.

Faux leather pants
I’ve really fallen in love with leather pants this winter. I’ve featured them with everything from colorful sweaters to a Heringbone blazer. So much fun to think up new and creative ways to style these trousers.

In case you missed it
I’ve been stuck in neutral this week. From today’s white-on-black to yesterday’s black-on-plaid, I’m feeling the neutral vibes.
keeping our heads up during coronavirus is challenging. we’re hungry for positive news, and that can feel slow going. but we’ve been here for you on the blog over the past few weeks, trying to stay positive. and we’ll continue to do so. last week, we featured a tour of my home, and we put together a YouTube tutorial roundup to keep you busy while you’re stuck indoors. these were ideas that came from you, our readers, so keep suggesting content you want to see in the comments below.
and now i’m gonna let you in on a little industry secret: we’ve got a week’s worth left of OOTDs we shot before Athens issued a shelter in-place. we’re going to post them this week to give you a bit of a fashion distraction during these uncertain times. and speaking of “distractions”, sometimes it’s hard to remember that Spring is actually here. the trees are sprouting leaves and the flowers are in-bloom here in Athens. and it happened in what felt like overnight. from my window i can see Crepe Myrtles, Japanese Maples, and the blossoms from Cherry trees. what does your view look like?
keeping our heads up during coronavirus
it’s one of life’s greatest challenges not to let our circumstances dictate our attitude. it’s one thing to say, “stay positive”, but it’s quite another to feel it deep inside. it’s so easy to let doubt and fear consume us. but as soon as it does, we’ve already lost. when platitudes wear thin, remember: fear not, God is in control.

poncho positive
poncho, please? i love ponchos, and i’ve featured them for years over here on the blog. they’re one of my favorite items to wear in Spring or Fall. today, i’ve pulled in a beautiful pastel poncho from Ann Taylor and paired it with a gingham cropped pant. it’s a perfect spring outfit for those cooler transition days.
and i know many of my readers love scarves as much as i do. here’s a beautiful silk scarf, again from Ann Taylor. it pairs wonderfully with the poncho, but it would be perfect with any Spring outfit, especially those that feature a pastel palette.

spring pastels
i’ve been all about pastels this Spring. last week, i shopped my closet and pulled out a pink pastel bomber jacket. and if you missed my pink rain coat, make sure to check out the post. today is all about lavender. what’s your favorite pastel?

reaching out to others
i talked yesterday about the importance of continuing to reach out to friends and family using the technology available to us. it’s worth remembering that not everyone has a robust network of support. a kind word of encouragement can get a lot farther than we may realize.
