Leather isn't hot and sticky in the summer, and in fact, I think it looks pretty cool with white pants or jeans and some interesting jewellery. &nbsp;I like that it's a nice change from &nbsp;a constant diet of soft, loose summer tops. &nbsp;And in winter, under a jacket, it's a perfect shell.</p> <p>I say try it. Never know until you do &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/imaginary-lifestyle-rears-its-yearning-head#post-1515109 Sat, 04 Jul 2015 20:29:08 +0000 unfrumped 1515109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, from time to time I try on leather items including tops or vests. For awhile T- style tops were not uncommon( including faux) , and I thought I might actually wear something likd that IRL. But nothing clicked. </p> <p>Recently came across a sleeveless black leather top at WHBM that is just dreamy. NoFind yet because phone Finds doesn't seem to work and online its in light blue, no black photo. </p> <p> Princess seaming, back zip, ponte side panels, buttery leather , and a tailored sort of peplum, not poofy, all click to<br /> make great fit. The qualities of the leather material make it less dark black, if that makes sense.<br /> So I'm there channeling my inner Brunhilda (except maybe need another icon, after reading sbout her!) , because at heart I love me some fitted seamed tops ( which to me are quite different from tight stretchy fits).<br /> But-- sleeveless leather is seasonally confused, right? and I don't usually wear sleeveless, though there are times I think, Go Sleeveless Boldly or Go Home. Why limit to ladylike wedding shower dresses. And one reviewer described wearing it with a bold cardigan. Could I do that , I wonder? I'm not sure I could parlay it into a vest as well, which would extend wear, as it may be too tailored for that. </p> <p>So, it might not pass the home mirror test even for Fantasy Island- it might be too trim for my pear proportions, or too short. But I've thought about bringing it home and trying it out. </p> <p>Meanwhile, Anna shows those great hiking photos and I know my more realistic style fantasy should involve travel and more exercise.<br /> Or maybe both?<br /> Please chime in with any anecdotes and wisdom re: fantasy vs. serendipitous wildcard items.<br /> Pass the barbecue, please. </p>
