Black and Gray Tunic and Leggings

Here’s another #tbt (Throwback Thursday) post. It’s an outfit I just wore last week, but the picture was taken last fall. Sometimes my posts-to-pictures ratio gets out of whack and I find myself with a surplus. And since this I still a look I like, I’m sharing it today.

black and gray

Top: ecoSkin
Leggings: Victoria’s Secret
Boots: DSW
Purse: Susan Nicole

I got this tunic when I was in New York last year. It’s by ecoSkin, a “green” clothing company from California that uses environmentally friendly fabrics and strives to be earth-conscious and minimize their carbon footprint. I’ve seen people wear this as a top, but I think they might have been shorter than me. For me, this is the perfect tunic, so I paired it with black leggings and tall boots.

eco-friendly outfit

My boots are half pleather and half neoprene (scuba material) so they have a nice, snug fit without being tight. I’m always on the lookout for great vegan shoes and boots–surprisingly, there are lots (just look into my shoes closet and you’ll see).

I won–yes won–this amazing Susan Nicole bag at last year’s Walk for Farm Animals. Of all the raffle items, this was my favorite and as luck would have it, I won! Susan Nicole makes an amazing line of vegan leather, eco-conscious handbags.

comfy fall look

I do love the comfort of leggings and the look of boots, even though I’m not one of the people who can’t wait for fall. I mourn the end of summer each year. But fall is a good time to start plotting a winter getaway!

  1. Great outfit. Perfect colours for Autumn. Although I don’t see too many Fall colours in the trees. I guess that’s one of the benefits of living near the coast.
    Since getting my first pair of tall riding boots I’m really digging this look.

    Thanks for sharing.

    • The leaves have just started to turn colors. However, they don’t call Washington the Evergreen State for nothing! A lot of plants (rhodies, camellia, ferns, and of course pines) stay green all year long!

      I’m glad you bought a pair of riding boots. They’re so fun!

    I love the long boots….why cant us men wear long boots and legging……you look lovely…x

    • Thanks Geoff! Such double standards. I think everybody should be able to wear riding boots. A few men do, but they have to be brave about it because it’s not “the norm.” Such a classic style. I wish more men (outside the riding circuit) would wear them.

    I wear them most days under trousers (pants)…..I live the feel of having my leg encased in leather. I see women wearing boots and am so envious…x

  4. Great outfit Jean and I was there when you bought the tunic, wish I had bought one too. You look fabulous! ❤

  5. I love the ecoskin tunic.Leggings and tunics are always a big favourite for me.

  6. That is a really nice size bag! Congrats to you for winning! I’m the same way about summer – I try to hold off on fall clothes for as long as possible!

  7. Love this outfit! That tunic is perfect with leggings and riding boots.
