HOW TO WEAR FAUX LEATHER LEGGINGS WHEN YOU ARE OVER 40

I bet you are glad to see Friday roll around. I know that you are always happy to see Friday, but this time it means the end of the faux leather legging series. Some of you have probably loved the series and seeing how you can take one item and wear it in several different ways. But, some of you probably hated the leggings, and those ladies are ready to move on to something different. So, bear with me for one more day, and then we will move on to something else.
I have made it to Nashville, and you will hear all about my fun meeting everyone next week. It is too busy and hectic to write a lot right now, but stay tuned next week to hear how it all went. I admit that I might have stressed when packing my clothing. I have never been to one of these things, so I don’t know what to expect when we go to the classes. Will people be dressed to the nines, or will they be relaxed and comfortable? Since these are all bloggers, it could go either way. I ended up deciding to be casual and relaxed, and I hope that I don’t look out of place. Here my insecurities talking? I can’t help it; when you are meeting the people that you most admire in your profession, you tend to second guess yourself. UGH! I am going to give myself a pep talk, say a few affirmations, and strike a power pose. Maybe that will do the trick and get my mindset in a better place. #iamasgoodasanyoneelse
I wore this beautiful Papillon scarf back in November of 2015. That is almost four years to the day since I wore it last. I called it a thneed because it is such a versatile piece of clothing. Scene Weaver manufactures this, and they have this scarf in multiple colors and patterns. Here is the link where I wore it in 2015, and you can see the instruction photo there. The instruction sheet shows you multiple ways that this scarf can be worn. I am wearing it today in a simple style with the buttons in the back.

I have on a pair of black statement earrings. These are very lightweight black tassels that I think was in a fab fit fun box about a year ago. I am always on the lookout for statement earrings, they are inexpensive, and they make a difference in your outfit. This pair from Baublebar is almost identical to the pair that I am wearing. The black crystal Essie bracelet looks great with the earrings, and it is a simple bracelet to throw on as you head out the door.
Here is a pair of Marc Fisher ankle boots that have more of an edgy look to them. I have had this pair for over a year, so I am sure that this exact pair is not available. I’ll link to some similar, but if you are out shopping in a store, then look for unique details like the faux zipper and buckles on the side. That makes your boot not look like everyone else who is walking down the street.

I am wearing a pair of faux leather Spanx leggings. I am wearing a size large, and I love how they hold me in so that no dimples show. Believe me, I have lots of dimples, but you don’t need to see them. I am also wearing the same white button-up that I wore in this post. (here)
