WIW 11/1 Pinterest inspiration, leather on leather

A little while ago I pinned this leather on leather look.
http://www.pinterest.com/pin/371758144211540283/
I wasn't sure if I could pull it off, but several forum members said I could, so here goes. I'm going to dueling piano bar show tonight, where the players take audience suggestions.
Wearing my Carven caramel leather jacket, Aubin and Wills big cream cabled sweater, Elizabeth and James leather moto skinnies, and Plomo snakeskin tasseled laceless oxfords.
I tried a couple of places for better lighting. If I look tired probably because I am, I had a late night call last night then some couple decided to have an screaming argument on the street outside my bedroom in the wee hours.
How did I do?

    How did you do? HOW DID YOU DO???? You bloody well NAILED IT Anna!!! This look is absolutely fantastic on you - love the soft color palette, how the cable knit plays against the smooth leather and peeks out from underneath that gorgeous jacket making perfect proportions and how the light cream in the shoes bookend the cream sweater. Stupendous :)

    I think this is the perfect way to do leather with leather. Two different colors, and the sweater adds a nice contrast in texture and a cozy element to lessen what could otherwise be a slightly intimidating effect of so much leather. Have a great time!

    You look gorgeous from head to toe, Anna!
    When I read the title "leather on leather" I was afraid it might be too much, but it's not. The different colors and textures really make it work.
    Love it!

    Oh Anna!  So cool!  Tired?  I don't think so!  You have the incandescent glow of the fashion forward!

  • RoseandJoan replied 10 years ago

    Anna, this is up there as one of your best looks ever. What will be your song request?

  • Amy replied 10 years ago

    You nailed it.

  • carambola replied 10 years ago

    Love this so much. Those shoes are to die for.

  • Tanya replied 10 years ago

    There are no words to adequately describe how much I love this.  Stunning.

  • Scarlet replied 10 years ago

    I think it works. I think that sweater and jacket and shoe combo on you would look fabulous with almost any bottom! I was actually checking some of your old posts today to check how you wear your Dicker boots and it got me to thinking how the softer hair and soft colors on you are just so right.

    Cute!

    Won't your ankles get cold?

  • Diana replied 10 years ago

    This is absolutely amazing, Anna.  I love all the different leather textures and colors, and the sweater is the perfect way to add a little softness.

    Hope you have fun tonight.

  • Marmee replied 10 years ago

    Wow!  YLF!  I love the light on top/dark on the bottom.  The white sweater really makes the outfit work.

  • Thistle replied 10 years ago

    What Janet said.  The different colors, textures, it all looks terrific together. I hope you had fun!

  • Angie replied 10 years ago

    I prefer your version to the pinned one. Richer and more cuddly. The light cognac is gorgeous with your hair and the cream backdrop. 11 out of 10. Enjoy the piano show.

  • kkards replied 10 years ago

    OMG! this is fab! i love the mixture of textures, and those shoes!

  • AviaMariah replied 10 years ago

    Love, love, love!  This is what I want to do in my living room, mix leathers.  Not that I'm comparing you to a couch!!  I've been to a dueling piano bar a few times in Seattle and had a great time.

  • AJ replied 10 years ago

    You make it look so easy! The pinned look can't hold a candle to yours. Luv it! Once again you found amazing shoes. YLF.

    LOVE, you look gorgeous.

  • rachylou replied 10 years ago

    Going strong! I like your version much better.

  • CocoLion replied 10 years ago

    You look great and each piece is so detailed and beautiful.  One of these days I'm going shopping with you.

  • Debra replied 10 years ago

    This look is totally yours. You have outdone the pin by a million percent.
    You look gorgeous, warm, comfy, stylish, cool.
    Perfect :)

  • MsMary replied 10 years ago

    This is fantastic -- I very much prefer your version to the original! The cozy sweater and fab shoes really take it to the next level!

  • Isis replied 10 years ago

    perfection!

  • gryffin replied 10 years ago

    Anna you look amazing.  I absolutely love this outfit on you.  Each piece in it's own right is gorgeous but you have balance them so perfectly that they not only don't compete for attention but they become an organic part of you.  The color of the jacket and sweater just make your coloring glow.  Plus the shoes TDF!!  Marvelous outfit and I hope you felt awesome in it!!

  • catgirl replied 10 years ago

    You totally can.  I can not wait to wear my leather leggings.  Gorgeous!

  • Nicole D replied 10 years ago

    Your version is better.  The shoes...just...no words.  Great outfit!

  • rae replied 10 years ago

    Looks perfect to me! The added textures of the shoes and sweater break up the leathers nicely.

  • Suz replied 10 years ago

    Nice! I love how this works with your hair and colouring. 

  • shemarie replied 10 years ago

    That caramely-camel color over the ivory is stunning on you! And those shoes. Are. Awesome. Seriously.  (And what a fun evening!)  Enjoy...you look amazing!

  • rebekahphoto replied 10 years ago

    Excellent! the caramel jacket is gorgeous! It is one of those colors I love to see, especially in the fall it seems so buttery & delish. But anytime I try to wear it it doesn't feel right. maybe should try again.

  • cheryle (Dianthus) replied 10 years ago

    You don't need any more positive feedback to know this is great but I wanted to say it anyway.  Wow Anna, you totally got it right.  I hope you had a nice time out.

  • KeepTheKey replied 10 years ago

    This is one of my favorite outfits from you! It's soft, edgy and a little sexy. I give it an 11 :-)

  • DonnaF replied 10 years ago

    Faints.  Not only is the outfit an 11 out of 10, but it is completely stunning on YOU and your coloring and hair, etc.  That's why I can't tell that you're tired.  I lust after those shoes.  Sigh.
