Simple chic dresses are really hot this winter a carry over from fall.  Now these dresses can be styled so many ways to make them super versatile.  That is the biggest struggle is making these super basic dresses sing.  I styled this dress 3 completely separate ways with 3 separate occasions.

This is just a classic cold weather look, you can never go wrong with riding boots and a fun dress.  Keeping it simple makes it very flattering and chic.  This is super must have as a classic.  The fitted nature of the dress with the scarf balances what could otherwise look “trashy,” it gives it a very upscale look.

For look two I went super sporty with a jean jacket and sneakers.  This dress lends itself to be both dressed up and down and this is the very fun way to dress it down.  The fitted style of the jacket gives the dress further structure and the long necklace draws the eye in a way that a v-neck cut on a top would.  Over all the fun, sporty and flirty styling gives great and unique feel to the dress.

I went for a more “Sunday brunch” look (which is when I wore this actually).  Its so cozy with the cardigan and the belt creates the most fantastic waist line.  The flat shoe keeps it really casual and comfortable but really stylish.

Its amazing how many ways you can use one dress, styling it several different ways.  I love giving a piece as many uses as possible stretching the value as far as possible.

Leather leggings were one of those items that always intimidated me and I never thought could be something I could wear well.  I put this pair on and instantly they made my legs look amazing!  This pair hugs in all of the right places, smooths and creates magic (trust me we all have cellulite and things we need smoothed and hidden).  These are an absolute dupe for the spanx one in their utility!  They are lined so they don’t have that awful sticky feeling on the inside and are super comfortable for cool days!

Now the question with leather leggings always becomes how to style them with out looking “trashy.” I went from the idea of styling a simple pair of skinny jeans.  A great boyfriend sweater takes the edge out of the leather and makes them more of an everyday legging look appropriate for anywhere.  Can we also discuss the fact that these leggings are so epic that my legs look amazing even sitting down? I decided that simplicity was the way to go to keep them as the focal point of this outfit and keep them far more girl next door than clubbing outfit.

Leather leggings can be a thing for anyone who wants to wear them and this particular pair is such a dream flattering pair. Seriously every Woman needs these to feel amazing about her legs (they do you that many favors, its like the most amazing version of your legs ever!).  The key is styling them simply like they are your favorite pair of skinny jeans, which we will go more into this month!  Lemme know, are you more confident to try leather leggings now? Leave me a comment!  I’m curious!
