A TRUE STORY: JUST A GIRL IN LEATHER

There’s nothing better than a Texas girl's love for leather…especially when the weather is below 90 degrees. It’s fall in Houston, so I enjoy the cooler nights and break out my favorite faux wide-leg leather pants. I was recently invited to the second annual Velocity Road fashion show. One of my favorite streetwear fashion designers, Brandon (Don) based in Houston, showcased his new line from his clothing brand, Lusid. Lusid is a high-end, handmade leather streetwear brand, he emphasizes bold colors, and daring, mysterious looks.

Since I knew that leather was the main feature during the show, I had to figure out how to style my pants and make them streetwear. I decided to wear a simple white T-shirt and a silver metal-plated belt that would add as my statement piece. Lately, I have been lazy with my hair, so to make things easier I threw on a baseball cap and covered it with a beautiful silk scarf so it could be the focal point of the outfit. Now for my accessories, I added my clear acrylic bangle, a chunky silver necklace, and an emerald, green acrylic clutch. Then I added my go-to Steve Madden slingback heels for the finishing touches.

I enjoyed putting this outfit together. Not only was it simple to style, but it was also paired with a few bold items. I’ve been enjoying the streetwear scene in Houston lately and look forward to the next showcase.
