A leather skirt (faux or otherwise) doesn’t fit well into my relatively conservative office life or my comfy with kids home life, but I really liked the length and style of this, especially with the tiny pin dot detail. I like to give it a casual look by pairing it with a favorite striped tee and jean jacket.

Reality Check.  I have a pretty healthy fear of heights, which gets more intense as I grow older. Sometimes I forget, and other times I’m reminded, such as when we took pictures on this walkway over the freeway.
