Friend or Faux

This outfit is the first official look of 2014. Finally, I know! All previous looks posted on the blog this year were from 2013; I’ve been playing catch up for the last couple of weeks and I’m finally ringing in the New Year with a new look.

These faux leather leggings were a gift from my mother-in-law for Christmas. I know, didn’t she knock it out of the park! When she ordered them she had mentioned to me that only the sample size was available – SMALL. I didn’t think they’d fit but figured I might as well try them. Let me first share that I’ve been hesitant to try the faux leather leggings/pants trend for some time now. I absolutely love how they look on everyone else, but I didn’t think I could pull them off. Have I mentioned how much I hate my thighs? And faux leather is only going to accentuate that hatred, ya know?! So imagine my surprise when these leggings slipped on without any trouble and looked fantastic. I’m pretty sure I heard angles from heaven singing hallelujah!
