I had the pleasure of meeting Elie Tahari at one of his fashion week presentations about two years ago and have been a fan of his clothing ever since. I was so excited to see his collection at Bloomingdales, my favorite department store in NYC! I was on Bloomingdales.com doing some of my fall shopping and per usual, oversized knits and leather were at the top of my list. I came across this outfit while browsing through the latest arrivals from Elie Tahari and fell in love with both this leather skirt and merino wool sweater.

A leather skirt is a must have item in everyone’s closet because it is a timeless piece. Trust me, if you own a high-quality leather skirt such as this one, it will last you for years. A leather skirt can be paired with just about anything in your closet but I personally love the oversized sweater look. Instead of going with a classic oversized knit, I opted for this ruffled one in order to update my fall wardrobe. There is something about a ruffle that makes a sweater dressier than your average knit. Make sure to check out the latest Elie Tahari arrivals at Bloomingdales, you will not be disappointed!
