Leather! Is it the new silk?

Ok.. I may have taken it to far with the silk comparison but I'm sure you get my drift. Every season we say something is the new black per the fabric gods. It's about time they let black be itself and just fiddle with textures! This season, leather (or a matte pleather for those of us with "fashionably-late" spending money) is the accent of choice. Super cute ripped jeans and a leather top... Sexy urban chic . A flouncy, short jewel-toned skirt and leather crop top...diva! A blouse with a lace overlay and leather pants with gathered ankles...Vixen! Plain black tights  and a t-shirt is clean-the-house attire. Same outfit with the addition of a leather strip on those tights and tie/cut that shirt and you're ready to WERK!  Get some leather in ya lives.. Get Sexxay! -SP
