You guys. I have become a total leather addict this winter. I love the edgy vibe it brings to every outfit. I live in my leather jacket these days. But, most of the leather pieces I own won’t be working with warmer weather approaching… so I employed the talents of my friend, personal stylist, and Le Curate co-founder, Sara Pollan DiMedio, to help a girl out.
By incorporating pastels and a lighter leather layer we put together a look that totally transitions into Spring and adds some really chic pieces to the wardrobe.
I’m not about to give up on my t-shirt and jeans for my everyday go-to, but that doesn’t mean I can’t kick it up a notch. Sara topped this leather bustier over a pale pink tee that worked perfectly for a rocker vibe. I don’t know that I would have ever guessed leather on leather could work like this, but the leather button-up she pulled topped things off perfectly!

Who says you have to ditch the leather jacket at all for spring? Sometimes, it’s all about the accessories – and a hit of color.

Sandals and fedoras are definitely spring-worthy accessories, but nobody says they have to be colorful or white. Studded suede, a clutch that lets them know who’s boss, and a woven hat – in black of course – are all a nod to warmer weather.
And we can’t forget the dresses…

I love this dress that’s leather in the front and stretch in the back. Not something I would normally think of an any-season piece, but topped with a lighter patterned top, it’s given a fun twist! And with the spring weather in Seattle, layers like this are always welcome.
The expertise of my friend Sara and co-founder Allison are now available for all of you to enjoy thanks to the launch of their site Le Curate today!
