... 11 ways. This "collage" is kind of hilarious, but hopefully serves it's purpose. I wanted to show how a simple, black leather skirt can be mixed into so many looks. This particular skirt is on sale right now at Zara for just $49.99. Yes folks, for real leather!

I must say, I did even better than that. Years ago I bought a leather mini and a leather pencil skirt, both at thrift stores for around $12 each. You might want to check a thrift store first, since I see so many there when I go.

They have remained useful in my wardrobe for the past 5 years and I will continue pulling them out. I haven't decided for sure, but it might even be my NYE look???

Leopard is definitely staying on trend, season after season. I never seem to get bored of it and how it can add to your outfit. I tend to go in small doses, like shoes, cardigan, scarf or clutch.

I will say to be careful with animal prints, some look horribly cheap. Bad leopard print is just plain bad (for example the extra-orange, fake, plastic-y, shiny types).
