I would absolutely go for it. It's a classic, you can wear it all winter, it works for many occasions (Moderate: worn with opaque tights, loafers, tee and long cardigan; Out and about: with non black knee high boots and chunky sweaters; Party: with pumps and knit top or loose blouse...).

The skirt you chose looks fantastic.

yes, yes, yes - last year I debated about a leather skirt - not mini an a-line knee length.
I wasn't sure about it also asked the board for help because I also don't have what I would define as a rocker or hard edge style. They told me go for it.
When I bought it I commited to wearing it for 6 weeks in a row differently.
That skirt has become a huge workhorse in my closet and I am now on the lookout to add a pencil skirt if I can find the right one.

The skirt you ordered looks cute. I'm always hesitant to wear an a-line because I'm not sure how it will look on me, so I'm very curious to see the final outfit on you!

Glad to hear you ordered it, Maneera. I think it will be great on you! So many styling options, too. I'm also interested in your experience with A line. I had a leather pencil years ago and it quickly bagged out in the bum after too much sitting, something I don't think will happen with A line.

Chiming in late, but YES! Can't wait to see the skirt on you. (I picked up a pair of faux leather leggings last year that I was on the fence about and ended up wearing them to death and loving them.)

Also chiming in late, but a "yes" vote from me too!

I love a classic leather skirt! I prefer leather mixed with more traditional pieces. Leather is edgy and a little sexy so to pair a leather skirt with a slightly over-sized sweater is a cool and minimal way to rock the look. http://files.mom.me/photos/201.....848218.jpg

I wear two pairs of stockings to deal with cold weather and skirts...

Haha Rachy! Well, I'm going to soon find out how many pairs of stockings I'll need!

Leather minis can be a great staple for a closet, no matter what you age.

I prefer classic style, which will not go out of fashion.

I have a friend who is 66 and wears them.

Or, you can always eat better:-))))))))).

Ditto to what Rachy said. Two pairs of tights can be surprisingly warm, especially if you have a really long coat. Mine is ankle length

Love leather minskirts and I'm 46 but wear it for the weekends with opaque black tights and flat boots! When wearing minis I avoid heels
