Leather pants at work?

I'm going to try to make more regular posts here. Either once or twice a week I will be writing about current trends. Today: leather pants. I was thinking to myself, after flipping through this month's InStyle, is it possible to wear leather pants to work? Here's an outfit that I think may allow you to do it.
Some guidelines for leather at work:

  • probably more appropriate for creative occupations
  • leather pants should have a skinny leg, but for bis cas, they should not be super tight
  • a general rule: party on the bottom, business on top
  • flats are a good idea 
These pants have a nice, loose fit (Alexander Wang):

A blouse on top (Boscov's):

A boyfriend blazer on top (Marc Jacobs) - the pinstripes mean business:
And for some accessories:

Necklace (Luv Aj)
Shoes (Yosi Samra):

Not sure how I feel about my choice of blazer... I was thinking about a grey boyfriend blazer to lighten it up a bit.  Let me know what you think!
