5 Star Barbie Toccara's Take on Wearing Leather and Pleather

In the November issue of Essence Magazine Toccara Jones, a model and contributing style editor, gives her take on wearing leather and pleather. Here's just some of what she had to say.

"Don't be afraid to go faux. These days fake leather is okay. (Real is so 2009!) The top designers even have faux in the collection."

"When you put leather on, you should be going somewhere. You don't wear it to walk around the house. Keep classic pieces, like a skirt, blazer and boots."

"Throwing On Leather Says "I'm Sexy" without trying."
