Leather is not a trend I thought that I was going to be able to get into.  It's EXTREMELY expensive and the budget brands' versions just don't hold a candle; so, I was ready to turn my back completely.  But y'all... I went into Ann Taylor today to make a return and noticed a huge variety of colors and cuts in faux leather.  I tried on several pair and loved them ALL.  I am linking them so you, too, can give this trend a try without breaking your bank.  Seriously.  I LOVED THEM.  See my pinned stories on Insta (@lanebethayart) for photos of them on me!  I am 5'5" and wear a size 0 in wide leg, and a 2 in fitted at Ann Taylor.  

Also included the two shirts I picked up while there.  A sleeveless turtleneck sweater that was absolutely perfect to pair with skirts, pants or, conveniently, faux leather anything!  And a basic, ruffled black blouse because you just can't ever have enough.
