Fall Trend Alert!! Minus the leather looks

           Leather seems to show up every fall as a seasonal staple. It gives any look that extra edge to really make heads turn. Personally, it's a fall necessity that I just can't get enough of, but that can tend to be rough on the pocket book. My solution: faux leather fashion to die for! You can find minus leather looks anywhere that are equally as eye catching as the real thing and much more practical for a day to day look. Some of my favorite spots to pick up these frugal finds include Express and H&M.
          
           Not only can you find this fall fashion trend for a reasonable price, but there are so many different ways to style your favorite minus the leather items. Here are a couple of my personal favorites for this fall.

1. Black minus the leather shorts

These adorable little shorts are from Express and they are only $59.99. I am absolutely swooning for these right now (No, I don't own them.. YET!). I did try them on last week and I NEED them and I will have them. Soon. Yep. Okay. Moving on.
Pair them with a chunky off the shoulder sweater for a casual look with some leopard loafers or with an embellished glitzy top and black booties for a more glamorous look. You can even add polka dot, or printed tights to jazz your look up even more.



2. Cream colored faux leather jacket

This neutral tone minus the leather jacket is the perfect way to wear the leather trend in a soft way. It is also from Express for $118. If you feel like you wouldn't be able to rock the leather trend because it's too "edgy" this jacket is the perfect exception to the rule. I own this exact piece and it is my go to jacket for the day time in fall.
Pair this jacket with a t-shirt and jeans tucked into knee high flat boots for a casual day time look or wear it with a statement scarf, some fall colored skinnies and a nice pair of pumps for the perfect girls night out look.



3. Oxblood vegan leather peplum skirt

 This little gem is from an online website called Mickey's Girl that I found via Pinterest for only $38. This skirt is everything right now. The perfect blend of sassy and sophisticated, edgy and classy all at the same time. I just recently found this item and will be owning it very soon! Mickey's Girl often does really insane sales, so I tend to wait for them before purchasing their items.
Pair it with a neutral sweater (like the one above) but fully tucked in with a pair of booties for a contemporary look or keep it classy with a black long sleeved scoop neck top, gold chain link necklace and nude pumps for a sexy date night look.



4. Army green faux leather leggings

 Confession... I don't actually know where this picture of these leggings came from besides seeing them on Pinterest (Shhhh!.. Don't tell on me!). Seriously though, I had to put army green faux leather leggings on this post because I did just buy a pair of them at H&M last week that look almost identical, but unfortunately they do not have them listed on their website, hence why I just went out and hunted down this photo. Okay. Back to business. I bought these funky fresh leggings for $10! I tried them on and immediately became obsessed and then practically screamed out loud in excitement when I looked at the tag and didn't have to ponder over whether to buy them or not (DUH! Buy them! They are ten freaking dollars! No brainer!).
Pair these with a sheer long sleeve printed top and pumps for a fresh up to date look or with a neutral chunky knit and ballet flats for an edgy day time outfit.




5. Classic black faux leather pants

















There is a reason that black leather skinnies come back every fall as the seasons most desired wardrobe staple. In case you couldn't guess the reason, it's because they are awesome. Yep. I said it. These particular pants are BB Dakota that I found on ShopBop and they are on sale for $70 which is exciting! You can find ones just like these for half the price at H&M as well which is even more exciting :)
Pair these with ANYTHING! No seriously, these pants could be styled a million different ways. My favorite ways to style them would be with a black top, colorful blazer, statement necklace and black high heeled boots for a edgy chic date night outfit or with a loose fitting sweater, chunky scarf and some flat knee high boots for a comfortable yet classy day time look.

           
          Any minus the leather look that you choose this season will be sure to turn heads and make you feel like a seasoned fashionista! My secret to fashion success when it come to faux leather pieces is pairing them with something flirty and girly. It takes a rugged piece of fashion and allows it to be what I like to call "lady like with sass." No matter which look you choose to rock, always make sure that it is styled to fit your personality. Nothing is classier than a lady who is confident in who she is and what she is wearing so make sure to add your signature twist on this fall trend.
