WIW: skirted leggings go boho

Inspired by Angie's skirted leggings ensemble, I wore mine again today. I don't have a plaid shirt, and it's too cool for a denim jacket. So I wore a denim shirt with a big fuzzy cardigan. I thought about wearing moto boots, to bring a little edge to the outfit, but decided instead to go in a boho direction, with my cowboy boots and a beaded leather wrap bracelet. My long black coat is my nod to the western duster, though my coat is more polished looking, which suits me fine. The satchel is also a more classic touch. Does it all work? Or maybe it looks like I just put on what was at hand?

The outfit (worn for a day off): black skirted leggings (Eileen Fisher); denim shirt (Caslon); black and brown animal print fuzzy cardigan (Free People, Out of Africa); black cowboy boots with red, white, and blue inlay designs and yellow stitching; silver and brass beaded leather wrap bracelet (Lucky); silver and brass earrings (Marjorie Baer); long black coat (Gallery); black satchel (Elliott Lucca, Olvera).

Thanks for looking! I look forward to your thoughts and suggestions.

    I'm getting so excited by everyone's skirted leggings looks love this with the denim shirt. I also adore your coat I've always wanted a long coat x

    crutcher, I'm chuckling over your image of what's draped over the treadmill. he he. Glad to hear you feel the outfit looks intentional.

    Karie, thanks!

    gryffin--I love your take on the outfit. Your cardigan is gorgeous, and I really like the rich, subtle detail of your cowboy boots.

    Louise--thanks! I think a long coat is hard to find these days. This one is about 10 years old.

    I hereby crown you Queen Skirted Leggings. Aren't you playful adding those cowboy boots. Why not. You look fab. xo

    I LOVE this. I have been stalking that cardigan hoping it would show back up. Nothing yet.
    These legging have turned out to be extremely versatile for you.

    Love the outfit and will be shamelessly copying for my Sunday outfit when I finish loafing about today.

    Great look!

  • jackiec replied 9 years ago

    Hey fun!! I'd like it with the moto boots too ;). Nice change-up!

  • Deborah replied 9 years ago

    Love the styling with the cowboy boots!!  One of my fave bloggers recently added cowboy boots to her wardrobe and I was a little cynical until I saw how she was able to work them into her dark drapey aesthetic.  And you have created a nice boho look.  Clever.  BTW I am having serious skirted leggings envy lol

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

    Thanks, everyone!

    Ooh, Angie, another crown for me? He he!

    Debbie, now that you're getting the leggings, you simply must have the sweater, too. :) Seriously, you'll have plenty to go with them, I'm sure.

    Deborah, it's great to hear that cowboy boots with your blogger's "dark, drapey aesthetic"--sounds really neat. You could definitely rock some skirted leggings--my favorite looks with them are actually more Eileen Fisher-esque with drapey, asymmetrical layers than I have yet come up with. I can see them working with a lot of your clothes.

    I totally missed this... not sure how, I've been stalking the skirted legging posts :).  But just wanted to pop in to say that I love this one too!  And please keep posting them, you are really providing some great styling ideas.

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

    Thanks, Elizabeth--I'm flattered!

    This is my goto outfit - leggings with a tube mini-skirt.  So excited to find that there are leggings with a skirt attached that are not purely for exercise (of which I have many pairs...)

  • Style Fan replied 9 years ago

    My favourite outfit from you so far.  I saw that cardigan and did not buy it.  Darn.  I love everything about what you have on.  I will need to get some skirted leggings.  I have the denim shirt, cowboy boots, and I will find the sweater somewhere.

  • Firecracker (Sharan) replied 9 years ago

    Style Fan, thanks! I think it would look even better on you, with your hair and coloring!

  • Style Fan replied 9 years ago

    Thanks Firecracker!  Feel free to send it my way.  :)
