INPUT ARTICLE: Article: If you own a pair of black leggings, one of the simplest styling options is to pair with a black top for instant elegance. The key to this look is to find a black top in a contrasting material, like a soft sweater or thin cotton tunic, that will complement your leather leggings.  Since the rest of your outfit is monochromatic, spice things up with your shoes. Consider throwing in a pair of printed loafers or brightly colored heels. This is a great look to start with, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by styling your leggings. Any drapey black top will work, as long as it extends past your hips. Try pairing your leggings with a long button-down shirt or collared blouse. Combining them with well-cut, classic pieces will help to create a more sophisticated outfit.  Throw on a structured, long-line blazer to give the look a firmer touch, or slip on a cardigan to soften it up a bit.  Depending on your office culture, this sort of outfit might even be appropriate for work. Wear them with a flat shoe instead of a heel, to keep it from getting too sexy. A loose sweater dress looks great paired with leather leggings. Using a skinny belt, belt the dress at the waistline to add some definition. This is a great look for transitional winter months, when it’s still warm enough for a dress but cold enough that you need something to cover your legs. Add a cozy sweater or tunic in a neutral color on top. Since leather leggings are usually skin-tight, it’s easy to slip a pair of over-the-knee boots on top. Suede black boots paired with black leather leggings creates a nice interplay of textures. Keep in mind that leather over-the-knee boots won’t have the same effect.

SUMMARY: Wear black on black, if you have black leather leggings. Dress up your leggings with a classic button-down shirt. Layer your leggings under a fall dress for a warmer party outfit. Throw on a pair of over-the-knee boots for a date-night look.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: You may get evicted if you get caught with a dog. If dogs are clearly against the rules in the lease, you have broken the lease by hiding your dog. Your landlord may require you to move fast.  Moving is expensive. In addition to paying for things like moving trucks and gas, you will have to pay to transfer your utilities. You will also have to put down a deposit on a new apartment, and may have to pay first month's rent upfront. Make sure you have a nest egg to front these expenses in the event you have to move fast. The potential financial fallout is one of the reasons it's risky to sneak a dog in an apartment. It's hard to judge your neighbors' attitude. Some of them may not mind you bending the rules, while others may be irritated. Some people may have specifically chosen that apartment complex because they dislike dogs.  Be polite to your neighbors at all times. Keep your dog from jumping on them, barking, or generally disturbing anyone. If you're respectful of your neighbors, they're more likely to like you. This will decrease the likelihood they'll report you to the landlord if they catch you with a dog. A pet deposit usually covers any damage caused by a pet. If your dog, say, chews up the carpet, the $300 you put down for the pet deposit will cover this. However, if you're sneaking your dog in, you won't have a pet despot as a buffer. In the event your dog damages the unit, you will have to pay any damages upfront. It's always best not to break the rules. You could get in a lot of trouble and end up spending a lot of money sneaking in a dog. You may be able to convince a landlord to make an exception to the no pets rule.  You can explain to a potential landlord that you have a dog. If there are any reasons you cannot give the dog up, let him or her know. For example, maybe your dog has special needs and would not do well with another owner. Offer to write up a contract. You could provide a legal document promising to take care of any damages done by your dog. You and your landlord could both agree on the terms of the document. If the landlord sees you're willing to take responsibility and pay potential damages, he or she may be more willing to allow you to have a dog.

SUMMARY:
Make sure you have the money to move fast. Watch out for your neighbors. Prepare to pay for damages upfront. Try to negotiate with your landlord instead.
