Q&A about individual items, ensembles, and wardrobe

Leather skirts?

I've been starting to see leather skirts in quite a few places for the fall. What do you think of them? I have one that has been languishing in my closet for years now. It is dark purple in pencil cut, and I never wore it, but now I am starting to think that I was just ahead of the fashion. ;-)

Sure! The right leather skirt gets my thumbs up when it's matched with something soft. Know what I mean, jellybean?

Lets see yours!

Thank you, Angie. I know exactly what kind of blouse you are talking about. The top and skirt by Diane von Furstenberg in the link below are what reminded me that I had a leather skirt, :-)

Since the skirt is dark purple, I've been toying with the idea of breaking it up with either orange, or perhaps some pale mustard yellow, maybe even lime green. White, beige and grey are no-brainers. As soon as I have a photo, I will post.

We are on the same wavelength, Danja. Can’t wait to see the outfit!

I just got a burgundy, chestnut and mustard scarf to go with my slouchy chestnut boots. I'll blog about those items in Aug. I am excited :0)

Oooh, looking forward to August posts. :-) The scarf sounds marvelous. I love scarfs!
I will definitely post any outfits that involve the leather skirt. I am quite excited about it.

I love the idea of a leather pencil skirt! And you're right, they seem to make a great resurgence this fall. Would love to see a picture.

The more I think about the skirt, the more ideas I get. I think I may be mildly obsessed with it.
Antje, as soon as I put my ideas together, I will post the picture.
