Inspired by Pinterest: Yellow + Black leather leggings!

Whenever you fall into a wardrobe slump, Pinterest is definitely the place to go to find that much needed inspiration.  Last week, I was feeling really drained and just didn't have the energy to even think about taking a photo or blogging.  But I'm always online and checking out Pinterest.  

While browsing, I repinned the above.  It's really a simple outfit and I knew I had all of the components to make it happen.
It started out really chilly today and I was prepared to go head first on this look with a knit beret and coat.  But the mercury rose so quickly that I ditched the hat and coat and was damn near ready to peel off the leggings!
So I guess you can say my look is a "modified" version!  And I added wedges instead of pumps.  I had a lot of walking to do today and I was also pushing Isabella around, so I needed more stable footwear.  
Wearing:  J. Crew sweater; bag: Urban Expressions; leggings: McCall's 6404; Steve Madden Wedges.

Sidenote:  I'm currently cutting out pieces for Spring.  When the mercury sticks, I want to be ready!

In awe that you made those leggings! Hope I will become as brave when it comes to working with all fabric types.... I follow you on Pinteret and I can always tell your pins even before I see your name! I can say "that's an Erica pin" LOL

That is so funny! Someone else said they could tell my pins too! Thanks!

Great look and also would like to know where you found the fabric for your leggings.

Thanks Sheila! See above...

Gorgeous Fabrics also has leather.

Our Hancock's doesn't have the good stuff, unfortunately. Erica, you have inspired me to try leather leggings!
