Potential fashion faux pas...averted: Part 2

Remember the leather jeans I bought back in August, when I posted Potential fashion faux pas...averted? (now part 1)?

In case not, they are the Speedwagon Berlin Burgundy Skinny Jeans by Rock and Republic from Kohls. They're treated to be leather-like and are pretty darn convincing. I ran across them on the clearance rack for about $12 (note: the black version is on sale for only half price, so still $44!) and decided to try them on for laughs...but then really liked them!

I almost wore them to the Michael Buble concert at the beginning of September,  but opted to go with regular skinny jeans that night instead. I finally gave the Rock and Republic jeans a shot this last Saturday when I went to the matinee performance of the Blue Man Group at the Lied Center.

I tried a couple different options and decided on the MNG by Mango Floral Print Top and the Twill Cuffed Sleeved Moto Jacket from Express and really liked the combination! The print top was long enough for strategic coverage (adios, caboose!) and the jacket was the perfect choice for layering on a crisp fall day.

I took some pictures of the outfit...you can't see the pants very well, though I did my best with a couple close ups. 

Enjoy and happy fall! :)
