I’ve never really been interested in leather as far as clothing goes. Handbags, yes. Shoes, certainly. But skirts, pants and jackets, naaaah not really. I blame that episode of Friends when Ross wears leather pants and sweats up a storm in them, takes them off and can’t get them back on. It created a bit of a phobia for me. I’ve steered clear of leather pants, skirts even, just in case. I’m sure you understand.
I have however been looking for a decent black leather jacket but I can’t decide on a style yet {Bomber or more Blazer looking} so I keep looking. But no matter how cool leather is this season I just can’t do it. Maybe I just haven’t found the right piece. But seriously ALL I see is Ross in that darn bathroom hopping around… Awkward.
Soooooo, a nice alternative for the leather-phobes amongst us doesn’t have to be pleather. This cute skirt sent to me by Harlow Australia gives the look without the possibility of ending up going home covered in lotion and baby powder without your pants on… If you know what I mean {Ross!}.
The material is stretchy and comfortable to wear. Mine gave a little swish when I walked. The upside/downside is that Hubby wouldn’t quit touching my ass. Embarrassing really. But he’s right, of course, the feel of the skirt is really silky and supple. And I think it goes wonderfully with this chunky knit and some heels. I can also see me wearing it with my black knee-high riding boots when it gets colder. Mmmm snuggly.

Leather {even leather look}, it’s just a little bit sexy, right?

Been a while since hubby grabbed my ass. Note to self, buy these. You look great too. I wouldn’t have thought to put a sweater with it. You rock the look so well. Awesome!
Haha. Note to self indeed. Thank you Jeanie. The sweater was too cute and chunky not to.
Im in agreement with Natalie,I am just so in love with your sweater, the colour, the texture. its amazing with the skirt!
Thank you Ezmae, it’s a great score. The best part is, I only have to pay my sister second hand rates and with an IOU. Haha. I’m wearing it all the time at the moment because it’s just so cosy!
I think this might be one of my favourite outfits I’ve seen you in! The colour, the texture, it just looks amazing!!
Thank you muchly Nat. It’s jam packed full of texture and snuggly, I love that.
Love the leather skirt! Very sexy! And the jumper looks awesomely comfy 🙂
Super dooper comfy. And thank you, it’s not actually leather, it’s a stretch material but it looks SO similar and is much easier to wear. Love.
Love how you have styled up the skirt!!! The pop of Yellow against the Black is SUPERB!!
You ROCK this look! As you know this is my favourite skirt in the range, so versatile & so easy to wear!
thanks for the plug…..K xXx
Thank you muchly. I love and black and brights combo.
And I would have to agree with what you said. Easy to wear and I can imagine it dressed up or down easily.
Thanks for thinking of me. 🙂
Ooh, very sexy! And you have to love a lady who can pull off chartreuse!
Haha. Thank you Amy. Who knew!? It’s sort have become my favourite colour this season. Weird how that happens.
Gorgeous!!!! I love that skirt! I am so jealous! 🙂
Thank you. It’s a beautiful skirt.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again.
It’s sassy.
I love me a bit of leather – leather high boots or leather jacket, not both. Nobody needs to be wearing a whole cow.
I paid $550 on a leather jacket that I loved – it is good money to spend.
Cilla xx
Saaaassy. Haha. Thanks Cilla.
HA. Whole cow. I have a leather jacket in my sights at the moment as I know it’s a long term purchase and worth the big spend. I’m still hesitating buying online though, I’d rather try them on.
The neon and scuba skirt just go awesome together. It’s a texture colour party! 🙂
It absolutely is. Haha. Thanks Bek.
that is one hot skirt!!
That it is lady!
Rocking this outfit!
Thaaaaaanks Amy.
Love this outfit! Gorgeous! x
Thank you LA. xo
Fabulous look. Very cute little top pony/bun (hard to tell which from this angle. Very nice polished look. I am not keen on the leather skirt but I love this leather look stretch — looks real.
Thank you.
It’s a bit of both. A looped ponytail made into a bun. Haha.
The stretch, the quality and the general look of the skirt is what I love.
As long as looks good and feels comfortable I’m there. LOL
Same! Haha.
hahaha…yes!!! Ross has scarred me for life. I may never wear leather.
You look fab though…I’d totes rub your bum too.
Haha. I’m SO glad I’m not the only one. Love you!
Excellent, I’ll be sure to wear it next time I’m in your general vicinity. 😉
It looks terrific on you!
Thaaaaaaaanks Emma.
So in love with this look!! It’s perfect! x
Thank you Jo. 🙂
Love this skirt and the leggings. Now that you have said they are more comfortable than pleather I might just have to indulge
WAY more comfortable than pleather. WAY. Take a look, it’s a really funky skirt.
