Everything That I Need
As much as I try to vary what I wear from day to day, there is a certain comfort an appeal to having a sort of repeated uniform that works for me. I equally love dramatic one of a kind garments and so-called "staple" pieces. This post is about the latter. The perfect lightweight leather jacket, the perfect multi-functional dress (tied to be worn as a shirt), the perfect ankle boots, and newly: the perfect midweight leather paneled leggings.
I had been made aware of Audrey Cantwell's collection of clothing, "Black Market Baby" through my buddy Camille/ChildhoodFlames, and naturally lusted over her draped leathery goods. About a month ago, Audrey e-mailed me about my belts, and I proposed a little trade. And now I couldn't be happier! I opted for her Thigh High Leather Panel Leggings, and Long Jersey Skirt (for another post), and have a feeling that I won't be taking either of them off for quite a while. The great thing about the leather panel leggings is that they give the illusion of a leather leg but still allow free movement - a MUST for me.
And in honor of today's copious amount of leather, I've uploaded The Normal's "warm leatherette", a classic song that all should know & appreciate. Click HERE

I'm in love with these Chris Habana elongated spike earrings. During my adolescence I had a total of about 10 ear piercings, but let most of them close up. I got out of the habit of wearing earrings, but this pair is enough reason to being again.
