Here’s Gossip Girl’s Blake Lively for you today. The blond beauty was spotted doing some shopping spree in New York last week. And you know what she wore for the session of retail therapy? Leather on leather. It may be a little hard to decipher through the layers she put on, but Blake was actually wearing a neat looking brown leather skirt from A.L.C.. And as you can see, she topped it with a floral blouse and another leather (a jacket from Carven), as well as a a bulky scarf from Stella McCartney:

What do you think of Blake’s style here? Like the look? Can you do leather on leather and carry it well?

So as not to look overdone, take a cue from Blake and use leather in different colors. You can find Blake’s A.L.C. skirt at Shopbop. Grabbing one will cost you a hefty USD693. If that doesn’t bother you, proceed with your purchase. After which, feel free to shop for the Carven Jacket as well; that one will cost you an even heftier USD1366 at FarFetch:

Together the key pieces will cost you almost USD2000. For the regular Jane, that’s definitely too much so we took the liberty of finding less expensive substitutes instead. Check out the following:
