Knit & Leather

florida, orlando blogger styles knit crop and leather skater skirt from forever 21 with charlotte russe lace up heels for a date night fall outfit
TGIF!!! Another week has come and gone and I am beyond ready for the weekend! So a little trick that helps me cope with Florida’s non-existent Fall, is to wear Fall textiles in a Summer like way, and today’s look is the perfect example. When you think of knit and leather, Fall immediately comes to mind, but by having your knit be a crop and your leather be a mini you can still keep cool while still saying Fall! When I spotted this adorable blush knit crop top I knew it would be perfect for Florida’s Fall! I wanted to give this look a flirty feel so I paired with cute leather skater skirt. I accessorized with some lace up heels and my Bound necklace to give this look a girly edge. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! <3

    I love the top! That is a great way to feel a little fall. It’s been warm here this week too. I’m not sure where you live in Florida, but I’ll be coming to Tampa for work this month. If you’re close, I’d love to meet for dinner!

    Love how you made these fall textures appropriate for Florida’s weather! I live in Southern California and having the same issue of transitioning into fall with autumn-like colors and textures without giving myself a heat stroke! LOL! Great look!

    You’re totally right about how making the clothes you wear work with the weather you’re in – I love the leather mini and you know how you rock those crop tops!! Another perfect look! Hope you have a wonderful weekend!!

    Ok FABULOUS necklace. I had to keep looking to see if it was fastened to the sweater or if it was a necklace. I am not a necklace person but I love them on others. Great fashion forward post, Sharon! Looking forward to seeing more! ♥, Renae

    Ps. Yes, and for joining us at Fashion ITEM Friday!!

    I can’t see anyone in UK wearing this in Autumn! You look fantastic, your leather skater skirt is stunning with the crop knitted top.

    Fall in Florida must be pretty warm. I come from a tropical country so pardon my ignorance. I haven’t seen knit and leather being paired this way and you look chic in this outfit. Love the shoes too! Appreciate your return visit a while back. It is always meaningful to have 2-way communication with fellow blog authors. I’m following you via GFC. Hope to stay in touch with you!
