Brown Leather Shorts - Mod Inspired

An outfit I wore to a dinner a couple weeks ago.

I've had these hi-waist brown leather shorts in my closet for as long as I can remember. Back when high-waist wasn't cool yet so it stayed in the "blackhole" portion of my closet with all my other discarded clothes until I discovered them again during a recent closet clean up.

From now on, they are staying up-front where I can see them! Only problem is, I don't know how to clean them? The same way you do a leather handbag? I'm sure I can't stick it in the washer.

So brown leather...brown leather is a great alternative for the "daintier/more feminine set" who want to stray away from the pastels and florals once in a while and experiment with leather. It's a wonder how color can make a whole world of difference! If these shorts were black, it would totally transform the whole look into something a lot edgier. So yeah, if you wanna try wearing leather but are a little apprehensive, getting it in a brown is a great alternative and not as loud. :)
