Everyone in leather

We were in Montreal this past week-end for Ukrainian Christmas with our pals Tyson & Angie, and we brought back some goodies with us by Ursa Minor. Yes, that means the LEATHER LEGGINGS are back in stock!
If I had to make a Victoire staff uniform, it would involve one of the In God We Trust Sweet Nothing necklaces (I'm pretty sure we all have one, though all different) and then these leggings which 75% of the staff own I think.

Leather leggings, 140$ (available at both locations)

But if everyone's wearing the leggings on the bottom, what's everyone wearing on top?? Well I'm glad you asked! Cos that is where we really all show our true colours.  

Katie would wear them under her girliest vintage dress with motorcycle boots. Cutie-pie on top, rock-chick mommy on the bottom.  
Kristal would wear them with an abstract-print skirt worn as a tube-top.  
Vanessa would wear them with a long flowy silky tank, and dream-catcher earrings with the tough leather acting as a perfect natural foil to her modern hippy chic.  
Emily would wear them with one of her man's oversize plaid shirts and brown leather boots - can't hide her country roots!
Lucy would wear them with an oversized sweater and docs for sure.
Kristina would wear those leggings with one of these Ursa Minor tops. Totally. Accessorized with a smiley face ring or Garfield brooch. Minimalist with a hint of 90s nostalgia. Perfect.

Loop cardigan, 130$ (available at the West Wellington location)

Linen pocket top, 88$ (available at the Dalhousie location)

How would you wear them? (There really are no wrong answers guys. They're THAT versatile!) My go-to way to wear them is with an oversize blouse with the sleeves rolled up. Or with an oversize blazer, also with the sleeves rolled up.
