I Love Leather But This Is Pleather – I Am A Blogger When…

May 21, 2014 by suzanne carillo

I used to hate the idea of faux leather. It felt like wearing a plastic bag.

I don't know if the manufacturing has gotten better or I've started to like wearing plastic bags because I kind of like pleather now. I fell in love with this little jacket at my local consignment store as soon as I saw it.

The colour would be called aubergine.

Or for those of you that aren't as fancy…

eggplant.

Yeah I'd rather be an aubergine than an eggplant any day.

It's by the brand Bebe and I think the only thing I've ever bought by that brand.

Skirt – TJ Maxx, Shoes – Vince Camuto The Bay, T-shirt – Reitmans, Belt – Anthropologie, Jacket – consignment, Sunglasses – borrowed from husband's stash, handbag – vintage

I hope to wear this outfit when I'm in BC…as long as it doesn't rain.

Which is the same as going to Hawaii hoping there is no sun.

Wouldn't this be smashing on a beach with the wind blowing it?

Sans the footware of course.

I think this should be my beach combing outfit.

I can't wait to hear what my nieces will say if I show up to go to the beach in this and ask them to take photos of me.

So finish this sentence for me…I am a personal style blogger when…

Dress – Old TJ Maxx, Shoes – Miss L Fire, Top – H&M

This is a very basic look but sometimes simple is good. I find French style to be very simple.

I can see wearing this out to a dance soon.

When I was getting a pedicure for my trip the other day the esthetician that was giving me the pedicure asked what I did to get such large calf muscles. I replied in my best Lady Gaga voice,
