What to Wear with (Faux) Leather Leggings

My personal favorite from this past season: leather leggings.

Think Outside the Black and Try Patterned Leggings On for Size

Black is classic. It’s a staple go-to and something every woman needs to have in her closet.

Think outside the black and try something new with patterned leggings.

Shopping Local on a Whole Other Level - Highly Recommending Raleigh's Uptown Cheapskate

You've heard of shopping local but let’s take it to another level and shop the local’s closets. Uptown Cheapskate first opened its fabulous doors in 2009 and shopping has never been the same. The concept is consignment but this is far from hand-me-downs.  

The items shown are ones that are similar or the same as ones which I have personally purchased from the store, to give you an idea of what the type of items you'll come across.

The selection consists of clothes that look like they recently came off the retail rack and are a mixture of classic and daring items to complete your closet.  Thumbing through their well-organized assortments, you will likely come across high end brand names like Coach, Vera Wang, Michael Kors and more. Although the names may awe you- the sticker shock will take you back even more when you realize you can get these treasured garments for well under the triple digits. I've personally purchased a Vera Wang shirt for less than $20 and continued to stock up on shoes, purses and accessories without breaking $100 bucks.
