I’ve found them—the perfect bottoms for wearing in or out of the house: faux leather leggings. The high rise and the faux leather pattern makes them so much more chic—and winter-worthy—than traditional cotton leggings or yoga pants. These leggings are my favorite for days when I don’t want to wear denim but still want to feel put together. They are a chic alternative to active wear and honestly so easy to style once you get an outfit formula in your head. For me, it’s usually a base layer, with Read More
