I am currently considering getting two things quite different from what I am used to wearing.

So here's the question: should I get them? Or are they too much?

1. Leather leggings

For some reason, I find these quite beautiful. I love the way they perk up an outfit, and I love the contrast of the colours and textures, especially against a white silk/chiffon shirt.

Take a look at some outfits put together with leather leggings:

What do you think? Are they too much?

I love the way they look, but I'm afraid it will be too "Look at me!" if I wear them out.

For example - I thought of one outfit I wore in the past that would definitely oomph-up with a pair of leather leggings:


Don't you think the outfit would look better with leather leggings?

2. Ruby Red Nail Polish

If you remember my Olivia Palermo nail polish swatch post, you may have noticed this one shade that really caught my eye: China Glaze's Ruby Pumps


This one isn't too loud, is it?

I think I'm pretty much set on the red nail polish (thanks to Grace, my self-professed nail polish addict law mate), but very iffy on the leather leggings. Tell me your thoughts - too loud? Not loud enough?
