Ladylike Hard Edge Meets Boho Glam

— by Inge

on April 6, 2015

A new outfit from Janise Burrafato of Mama in Heels, who we introduced to YLF in December 2014.

Janise built this fab look around a pair of tailored leather ankle pants and a fluid fit denim shirt. Pairing the black pants with Rockstud-esque pointy toe pumps creates ladylike polished hard edge. Combining the leather with a texture-rich ’70s inspired faux fur vest brings the look into Boho Chic territory. Janise glams things up with big sparkly chandelier earrings, sleek long locks, bright red lipstick and nail polish. Modern outfit juxtaposition at its best.

What a fun look. Full of unexpected elements and fab textures that work really well together. Love that fur vest!

Nice look. Love the texture of that vest, especially combined with the denim shirt & the posh shoes.

Such a fun look, lots of strong elements but they all play well together. Love the shoes, swoon.

Woo hoo! Nice pick, Inge!

And the best part of the outfit is (drumroll please) … Janise wore this outfit to Home Depot. HOME DEPOT. (I went over to her original blog post and saw that gem or a detail there). Go Janise!! I wish my Home Depot had one iota of your style quotient! (p.s. I am right there with Janise, having worn sequins to a Saturday morning soccer game on more than one occasion).

Nice look! I’d love to find a denim shirt that’s different from the usual plain button front cut. Hers looks like it has roomier sleeves and more volume in general, which would be fun right about now.

WOOOHOOO, Home Depot never looked so stylish.

What a beautiful, fun, happy and elegant juxtaposition.

I finally succumbed and purchased a pair of leather pants for myself. I have no idea if they will fit though, so they might have to go back. Anyway this post is timely as I’m looking for ideas how to style leather pants. Janise looks amazing, she has the best smile and wears a red lip like a Chanel model.

Janise is one pretty mama and she’s giving me great inspiration on how to wear both of my leather pants (a black pair and a very dark brown pair). So, this is a boho look, Inge, and is it the faux fur vest that makes it so? Whatever it’s called, Janise makes it playfully elegant.

Laura – I know right, loved that too!-) And I full support sequins for a soccer game. Big thumbs up from me:-)
Lisap – I love the silhouette of the denim shirt too.
CocoLion – I’m holding thumbs that your new pants will work out. And I can’t wait to see how you are going to style them.
Vicki – Fab that you found new inspiration for your leather trousers. I wouldn’t call this “full-on” Boho Chic, Vicki, more “Boho-lite”, because it’s mixed with hard-edged pieces and glam touches.
Mac – *smile*
Rachylou – I’m sure that’s not true:-))

What makes this outfit sing for me is the beautiful blue of the shirt. A black shirt just would not be as fab. I keep seeing faux fur vests and jackets on The Rack clearance, including one that looked much like the piece in this outfit. Maybe next time.

This outfit looks fabulous on Janise. So modern and feminine, with the sort of edge and sense of luxury that I love. My idea of a cool day look that can carry through well in to evening…..
