Hi all,

Fall officially starts this week and that means putting away summer clothes and bringing out the sweaters! Today, we're talking about two great pieces that are super affordable and should be added to your closet ASAP for Fall! Let's take a closer look at this black leather skirt and great basic grey long sleeve tee- Both from Lord & Taylor's new Highline collective line.

Black Leather Skirt & Gray Cut-Out Sweater

What I love most about this leather skirt is the detailing. Quick tip: When shopping for any piece, pay attention to the detailing because you want to make sure you look like you're wearing quality pieces that appear more expensive than what you actually paid for. This skirt has great zippers throughout and really gives off the appearance that you paid much more than you actually did. With regards to the top, I was instantly attracted to the cut outs and if you followed along on my insta-stories you saw that cut outs were a favorite among designers during New York Fashion Week. So look for these to stay for a bit, making this purchase a great one to be on trend.

The outfit together works because both are neutral colors that work perfectly together to form a great fall outfit. Here, I added a great black purse and booties and a gray hat to complete the look. For this outfit, all pieces remained in the same color family, but you could try adding a pop of color as well!

So you want to purchase these pieces but you're not sure how else to style them? Let's take a look below:

How To Style

A black leather skirt is a great addition to any wardrobe, and this one is a great value buy. Black skirts are perfect for fall too, because they add some texture, but still letting your legs go free, bare or with tights or stockings for the colder months. Together with the stockings, add an oversized leather jacket and you've got a perfect winter look as well.

If the booties aren't your thing, switch out my shoes for over-the-knee boots. If you're wearing this at night, lose the hat and add a fish tail braid for some added fun.

Of course, these pieces can also be worn separately! Swap out the cut-out top and add in your favorite great chunky sweater. Or if you don't feel liek showing legs with the skirt, add your favorite denim instead, tuck in the shirt and add a belt and you're good to go.

As always, thanks for reading!
