Happy Monday and I hope you had a wonderful weekend!  I mentioned last week that I purchased a blazer with leather sleeves at Zara while in Las Vegas earlier this month, and here it is!  I couldn't help but stop at the Zara in Fashion Show Mall, and even though they were having a huge sale I fell in love with this regular price blazer.  That figures...but I did have a $25 myLuckyrewards cashback card that brought the price down from $89.90 to $64.90.  The fit is just perfect for me, and I know that I will have this blazer for a long time.  It is hard to tell with these indoor photos, but this blazer is a charcoal grey with black leather sleeves.  I will be so happy when the days get longer so I can take more photos outside after work!

Pairing a leather sleeve blazer with coated denim and sexy heels like I did here is great for a night out - I wore this outfit on Saturday for a friend's birthday.  I can also see styling it with a pencil skirt for the office or bright denim for a more casual look!
