Late in Leather

If you feel like you’re having a case of Déjà vu, you probably saw this outfit on Instagram when I was in Portland a few weeks ago. I ended up wearing the exact same ensemble to work (#casualfriday) the week after I got back because I woke up SO late and didn’t have time to think, or put on makeup. Sometimes it’s nice to have those outfits on the back-burner that allow you to get dressed and get out the door within minutes!

    Oversleeping is the story of my life these days….been rocking my own go-to combo because I am too lazy and in too much of a rush to figure anything else out! I would never guess you were running late in this, though, I love the leopard shoes!

    I love this look Jessica! The leather shorts are perfect (they look buttery soft and aren’t too tight) and you paired them perfectly with an easy chambray. Totally can’t tell this is a last minute outfit.

    I now need some leather shorts to go with my chambrays…and so many other things in my closet. I don’t know why, I’ve loved them forever but I haven’t got any in my closet yet!

    I have this EXACT same outfit combination that I stick with when I am not in the mood to put together an outfit! Leather and chambray are just so effortless that you don’t need to put much thought into it, which is great. Loving your leopard wedges!

    The shorts are all sorts of perfect and I love how you paired them with the chambray. The best mix of classy and casual. Love!

    Loving those shorts! Tried on a similar pair at F21, but need to find a different fit! Something about chambray + leather + leopard just WORKS!

    Please don’t hate me for saying this, but this is not my favorite look. It makes you look straight up and down, no waist at all! Maybe its where the shorts hit you? I like the idea of it…chambray, leather, leopard…but I’ve seen you look so much cuter. I just had to be honest. Sorry doll!
