Local designer Candice Cuoco of CCUOCO is one of my favorite San Francisco fashion discoveries.
I wore a custom-made bustier for New Year’s Eve this year {New Year’s Eve Leather} and recently sat front & center at her first solo runway show here in SF {CCUOCO DIVERGE}.
When she asked me to style a lookbook for Spring showing the versatility and wearability of her couture leather pieces, I immediately started daydreaming and drifted off to mixing & matching heaven.
As excited as I was to put together some daytime and nighttime looks using pieces from her collection, the end result was even better than I had hoped.
I mean… How often do your expectations get completely blown out of the water?

This leather dress is a cropped version of an amazing floor-length gown from Candice’s Fall 2013 collection and I immediately fell in love with this fresh, modern take on a classic style.
So how do you wear a leather dress for daytime? With a bow blouse and my favorite vintage peep-toe booties, of course.
How would YOU style this leather dress for daytime?
I opt for leather on leather actually, the more leather the better I´d say ;=)

Your hair is so lovely! Maj hair envy happening here, girl! How would I style a leather dress for day? I’d throw a graphic tee and statement necklace over it and wear some sneakers or Birkenstocks on my feet.
I <3 your hair ! U look amazing.
Love your dress so much. You are so charming. =D

Caity, you look amazing. By far this is my favourite of all your looks. It’s your hair, the leather, everything. Great, great, styling. Just love it!
I love how it is styled here, I couldn’t get away with a leather dress unfortunately. 🙁
GIG Love x
omg that dress! I cant believe that you styled it so well! And that MK clutch is to die for!
I love this so much, definitely my favourite since I’ve been reading your posts. I don’t think I could style this as well as you for daytime. I’m not able to wear high necks or anything fussy up top so would have to wear possible a lycra body but I really think how you’ve styled it can’t be beaten. Love the booties!
oh la la la.. you look so sexy with that leather dress! i like the way you mixed it up with a blouse inside to wear it on a day time.. 🙂
