    Excellent ideas, and I suddenly have a craving for a chocolate brown leather skirt……

    I've got a black leather pencil skirt and it sits in my closet calling me…now I can see some good options; the sweater option is marvelous. V, can you also provide some hosiery advice? This seems tricky: when to wear nothing or nude/invisible or sheer black or opaque? How to make the decision?

    Wow, each one of those outfits is stunning. The accessories are wonderful.

    Is a leather skirt appropriate for the (business casual) office?

    I don't think I have the confidence or body to wear one of these…but I like it. xxBliss

    I would think a leather skirt which wasn't too short, too tight, or worn with inappropriate shoes/top would be fine in a business casual office; I know I would have worn one to an advertising agency in a heartbeat if I were inclined toward a leather skirt!
    thanks for being here,

    I was thinking of brown hosiery for these examples – more opaque tights with heavier shoe options, and sheerer with heels. When buying brown tights, you HAVE to take your garment with you, because shades of brown vary a lot, and mis-matching them is easy to do.

    Exquisite!. I was with you right up to the last vignette. That was outside of my comfort zone – but that is the fun of it. Different strokes for … If only I was at my ideal weight. I would so make a splurge. It is going on my wish list.
