Black Skinnies for the weekend

Inspired by Angie's post, I decided to wear my black skinnies today. Normally I would wear these with colour, but I thought I would go with my black leather moto jacket, to be more consistent with the outfit formula.
This is more hard edge that what I would normally wear, but I enjoyed wearing it all the same. I added nude pumps and my shirt is more ivory than white, but it is pretty close the the colour scheme.

Sorry my shirt is not in Finds, it is ivory with a slight pattern on it.

Worn with my red bag for a pop of colour!

My skinnies are The Looker by Mother. Unfortunately they are not inexpensive, but incredibly comfortable. These are the best jeans I have ever had (I now have them in 3 washes they are that great as I love wearing them).

Nice looking combo! I like how he beige pumps lighten up the look for early fall.

Wonderful interpretation, your outfits always have charming elements, like your red bag. So great.

Katerina

Looks great, Bijou! The jeans are perfect. I adore your red bag!

Bijou

Anne, it is funny because I have not worn this moto with jeans before, it usually toughens up my more girly dresses. It was fun to play with the formula.

Lady painter, I wore black boots to walk the dogs, but switched in the pumps later in the day to visit my Dad.

Opaline, you have found my weakness, bags!

Katerina, I never thought I would wear black skinny jeans. In my youth it was only the wild kids that wore them.

You nailed it, sweet Bijou.

AND YOUR OLD HOLLYWOOD HAIR IS SUBLIME. Very glam, and suits you to a tee.

karen13

Hard edge is good on you! you look amazing. I love this, and the way the nude pumps bookend and soften it just enough.

kkards

FAB...and thank you for the denim recommendation.

UmmLila (Lisa)

I love this look, because your hair and the light shoes soften it a bit.

Stagiaire Fash

You look great--but I still want to see it the harder-edged way, with the boots.

cindysmith

Really well done, you look GREAT

NICELY DONE.

Mirjana

WOW, GORGEOUS outfit Bijou, you are better and better every time . This is sooooo beautiful on you I can't stop watching, YLF.

Jules

Wow stunning indeed!

Becky

Swoon-worthy!

Style Fan

Gorgeous. Mother jeans are next on my list. They look great on you.

Joy

What a great version of Angie's formula! YLF!

Angie, than you, it is fun to try your weekly formula and try something different. I am pleased I gave my hair the chop, much easier to style now and fun to try something different.

Karen13, yes I felt more like me once I changed out the shoes.

Kkards, Ihope these jeans work for you too.

UmmLila, thank you. I liked it much better with the change of shoes. It is funny now one small change can make something that felt too much of a costume feel more like me.

Fashintern, you really rock a hard edge boot, but I love it best on you with your pinks.

CindySmith, thank you, you are so kind and generous.

Stirling, thanks, much appreciated.

Mirjana, I cannot wait to see your black and white outfit as I am sure it will be a style masterclass.

Jules and Becky, thank you. I was a bit unsure of this outfit, but will have to repeat because it is very practical for my cool spring weather.

StyleFan, I hope Mother jeans work for you. In terms of $ per wear, these have been good value for me because I live in my jeans.

Joy, you have a great wardrobe, I am looking forward to your versions of the black and white formula.

Bijou, you are so sweet but it is really high level, thanks.

Oh dear! I'm not sure if you meant the pink boots or the pink I wore with other boots, but after reading your comment I set off on a long and useless run, looking at pink short boots to replace the ones I had last year (at good enough quality that they don't disintegrate when I try to use them). There’s drool all over my keyboard, lol.

There is something delightful about the dark pants and jacket with your lighter hair, top, and shoes. I noticed it made me smile.

Mainelady

Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous! The jeans are worth every penny you spent on them and I love them with the motto. Great hair and makeup, too!

Brooklyn

You do hard edge very well! I agree with UmmLila that your hair and the nude shoes adds the right balance of softness. Did it feel authentic to you?

Fashintern, I meant that I liked the juxtaposition that you often get wearing pink items with more hard edge elements. However, pink boots sound like a wonderful wildcard.

Barbara Diane, I am glad that this does not look too hard edge.

Mainelady, yes good jeans become complete workhorses for me. These get worn a lot.

Brooklyn, when I was young I almost exclusively wore black, so whilst this is not what I consider typical of my current style, it is not completely foreign, more like revisiting my former self. I did like adding the softer elements, such as the blouse and shoes.

This is SO great on you - as others have said, your hair and the nude pumps make the whole look so fresh and modern (with that throwback to the 90's of course). So nice to see a version of jeans and a leather jacket that isn't grounded in black heavy boots. Love it.

citygirldc

You look fab. I am so ready to wear a leather jacket but it's still too warm out here.

Looks great! I love the nude pumps and need to remember this when the weather cools off and I can wear jeans and pumps again. I get hung up on wearing black jeans and black footwear together.
