WIW 11/1 Pinterest inspiration, leather on leather

A little while ago I pinned this leather on leather look.
http://www.pinterest.com/pin/371758144211540283/
I wasn't sure if I could pull it off, but several forum members said I could, so here goes. I'm going to dueling piano bar show tonight, where the players take audience suggestions.
Wearing my Carven caramel leather jacket, Aubin and Wills big cream cabled sweater, Elizabeth and James leather moto skinnies, and Plomo snakeskin tasseled laceless oxfords.
I tried a couple of places for better lighting. If I look tired probably because I am, I had a late night call last night then some couple decided to have an screaming argument on the street outside my bedroom in the wee hours.
How did I do?

How did you do? HOW DID YOU DO???? You bloody well NAILED IT Anna!!! This look is absolutely fantastic on you - love the soft color palette, how the cable knit plays against the smooth leather and peeks out from underneath that gorgeous jacket making perfect proportions and how the light cream in the shoes bookend the cream sweater. Stupendous

I think this is the perfect way to do leather with leather. Two different colors, and the sweater adds a nice contrast in texture and a cozy element to lessen what could otherwise be a slightly intimidating effect of so much leather. Have a great time!

You look gorgeous from head to toe, Anna!
When I read the title "leather on leather" I was afraid it might be too much, but it's not. The different colors and textures really make it work.
Love it!

I think it works. I think that sweater and jacket and shoe combo on you would look fabulous with almost any bottom! I was actually checking some of your old posts today to check how you wear your Dicker boots and it got me to thinking how the softer hair and soft colors on you are just so right.

This is absolutely amazing, Anna. I love all the different leather textures and colors, and the sweater is the perfect way to add a little softness.

Hope you have fun tonight.

Wow! YLF! I love the light on top/dark on the bottom. The white sweater really makes the outfit work.

I prefer your version to the pinned one. Richer and more cuddly. The light cognac is gorgeous with your hair and the cream backdrop. 11 out of 10. Enjoy the piano show.

Love, love, love! This is what I want to do in my living room, mix leathers. Not that I'm comparing you to a couch!! I've been to a dueling piano bar a few times in Seattle and had a great time.

Anna you look amazing. I absolutely love this outfit on you. Each piece in it's own right is gorgeous but you have balance them so perfectly that they not only don't compete for attention but they become an organic part of you. The color of the jacket and sweater just make your coloring glow. Plus the shoes TDF!! Marvelous outfit and I hope you felt awesome in it!!
