| Last winter was a whirlwind and I never really went shopping. Loved the leather tops and dresses - but are they now passe'? |

| I've been seeing lots of them in the stores, like Banana Republic and Ann Taylor, specifically. |

Lots of leather in the spring fashion shows. From WaPo:
Designers Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez focused on the unlikeliest of spring materials — leather — and wove it into shirts, skirts and even dresses, which were gradually deconstructed until their hemlines were little more than fringe. The delicate tops that looked as though they were knit from some version of cotton or linen, in an airy, open-weave mesh, had actually been constructed of fine nappa leather. And by the time the leather garments were mixed together with dresses that had been crocheted from viscose and metal, you’d lost faith in your eyes to tell truth from tricks of technology and sure-handed technique. |

| A lot of the pieces just have touches of leather like trims and details at the shoulders. I love this look. |

| It's still in. I'd stick with it being an accent. |

| A black leather pencil skirt is pretty classic. |

Not divulging age. Probably won't go with a dress, but like some of the tops I've seen. Thinking blue denim if a black top or black jeans if leather is different color. Or could do skirt depending on top. |

LOL - not a SoA fan, so had to look up reference. DH watches so I know the story line. |
