Catwoman

Every girl wants an excuse to dress up like Catwoman a la Halle Berry circa 2004. So when the leather legging trend came along, you know I was beyond excited. But in reality, the leather legging is a
fine line. You want them tight enough to be edgy, but you don't actually want to look like a Halloween costume. You want them to have sheen, but not be stripper shiny. And most importantly, since the leather legging trend will not be around forever, you want it at a good price. After two months of searching, I almost caved and bought a pair of grossly overpriced (albeit fabulous) BCBG leather leggings. They were amazing, but the price tag, not so much. Thankfully, I continued my search, and found them right under my nose at the Grove's F21. For $15. Serious? A gift from the fashion gods. Tone down the fierce leather look with a casual sweater and brown booties. I added a basic clutch and a killer tribal necklace I picked up at a boutique last week for $8!! Score for me and my bank account..  I'm saying it...(slight cringe)...winning. Rargh ;)

Leggings: F21, Sweater: Gibson (which I snagged at Nordstrom Rack, but here's an even better version), Boots: Target, Necklace: Kaitlyn (not featured on their website but here's a similar version), Sunnies: Ray Ban, Clutch: Stolen from mom's closet (here is another fabulous tan clutch).

Celebrities rocking their best Catwoman impressions...you go Martha.
