More (faux) leather for the office. And in RED. Uh, I think I just broke my own rule.
About rules for office wear…the only one I stick to without fail is to wear one unexpected piece, one piece that whispers nonconformist. Like a leather shirt, a spiked bracelet, or an OTK boot with a classic silhouette. It’s how I keep my mojo in Corporate America.

I wear my leather skirt to the office. It became a habit actually when I realized that no one said anything. I guess the key in wearing these “non-conformist” pieces is to select something that looks like a piece that you would normally wear, like your red leather shirt above. Fab!!!

This is the perfect work outfit. The red faux leather goes perfectly with those iconic red soles of the Louboutins!

I love the flash of red from the Louboutin’s and how they echo the shirt (though I was expecting the Valentino’s)!

You look fabulous as usual! Love your red leather shirt. I think it’s totally appropriate, especially styled with the grey work trousers.

Ahhh! Love the red, V! I also love how the shirt is echoed in the bottom of your Louboutins. Classic.
I’m like you, I love to wear unexpected pieces, and in my case it’s always my shoes. I finally got a job (yay!) and in my first 2 weeks, I’ve become known as “the shoe girl”.

I love the last shot with the flash of the red sole, that’s a really great photo.
Rules are there to be broken, your looks is perfect for the corporate environment and the flash of red on top and on the soles gives it just enough spice to stick out from the mundane.

This is a very sharp look and I LOVE that red leather tee! Wish I could get away with something like a leather tee or skirt at work but no can do

Thanks, love! Yes, I’m lucky I don’t work in an ultraconservative office. I’d die.
