When: March 2024 // Weather: not spring yet // Real life: office
I put these photos on Instagram per usual, then thought to myself: Damn. I LOVE this outfit. Like I really love it. This should go on the blog. That way, when all the social media platforms are outlawed or implode, I can still look back on this random day in March 2024 when I felt cool.
I bought these Anine Bing leather (real leather) pants secondhand on The RealReal. They weren’t exactly cheap, but according to my girl math calculations, they were an amazing deal compared to brand new. Turns out they were such a good deal because there was a big mark on one leg. I wasn’t about to let these gorgeous, buttery soft pants go to waste, so I took them to a professional leather cleaner and voila! Good as new. What a touching secondhand story, right?!
I loved this look so much, I recreated it the following week. I kept the belt, and swapped in different stripes and different boots. The weather is finally warming up around here, so I think we’re done with leather pants season, but expect to see these beauts lots more next fall and winter.
