Celebrity Chic on the Cheap: Olivia Palermo is Sassy in Leather

By Jasmine

Even though Olivia Palermo hasn’t graced our TV screens in a while, the paparazzi is still following her around. I don’t know why, but she’s stylish and I covet many of her ensembles, so I’m cool. She’s like the American Kate Middleton, but way more visually interesting (and personally I think she has better hair).

Sweaters have a tendency to be kind of blobby and unflattering, so I really love this colorblocked one because it breaks it up and gives the illusion of structure. Combined with some leather leggings, this becomes a cozy but still fiesty ensemble. Burgundy booties are an unexpected color choice, but it’s neutral enough to work. The fur vest is a little over the top, but that’s exactly why I love it. It should be noted, though, that the ensemble would look equally as great with a trench or peacoat. A simple black tote is a perfect accessory, or a blue or white one would be fabulous too (basically any color that complements the sweater). This is a delightful day time look that is fun and functional.
