Leather Meets Grandpa

Sticking with yesterday's leather trend, I thought we would take a look at some leather in a less expected place- the leather elbow patch. It's kind of grandpa-ish, kind of preppy, all fall.

Ann Taylor, Faux Leather Elbow Patch Tee, $36 $22!!!!

This stripe option is perfect for the weekend. I'd dress it up with a longer necklace. 

Piperlime, Tinley Road Leland Vegan Leather Sweater, $69

How simple and classic is this top? This is also a great layering option.

Bloomingdale's, Ralph Lauren Quilted Elbow Patch Pullover, $80

I think is my favorite option. It's comfortable and yet fitted.

Nordstrom, Kensie Knit V-Neck Cardigan, $99

Is this expensive? Yes. Is there anything better than a nubby knit boyfriend fit cardigan? Nope. This cardigan will pay for itself in one season.

The leather or faux leather elbox patch is a trendy way to dress up this old school style. I love it for sweatshirts, tops, and sweaters. More elbow patches. More happy.

You know what I love about cold weather? A lot of things. I know, I should have thought that through a bit more. Ok, one of the many things I love about cold weather: elbow patches. They're so wonderfully old man-ish and perfect for mixing in with your sweater weather standards.
