Carla, all of these looks are great! I agree with others that 1 and 3 are my favorites. I have never tried on a leather skirt but this beautiful eggplant one is making me want to! Is it comfortable? Is it hot? How do you launder/care for it?

These outfits are great. What a brilliant thrift store find!

@ Lynette - the skirt was in ‘like new’ condition. The leather was uncreased and supple, and when I turned it inside out, the lining was intact and unstained. For good measure I gave it a wipe down with a leather conditioner. Temps are still cool enough that I can wear it now. I might wear it in the summer - because I run cold, and we sometimes experience cool evenings since we live on the lake (northern shore of Lake Ontario.) I’ve worn pleather pants September through May for a couple of years without any discomfort. In fact the pleather joggers (Finds below) proved to be great ‘travel’ pants and were worn on the flights to-and-from a European vacation (Nov/Dec) including a 48 hour ‘day’ of travel - flight, trains, time change.

fabulous! adore the color and fit of the skirt. really super cute outfits. of course I'm partial to the leopard. #3 is lovely with the pearls. I could see it with saturated cool tones, blues/greens like your inspiration piece. or some dark tops, maybe another leopard piece/scarf/bag.

Wow, you really rock a leather skirt! I really love these outfits - they are the best kind of bombshell looks, IMO, because the color palettes are rich and harmonious, but the outfits themselves look crisp, no-nonsense and easy to wear.


The inspo photo - which I have saved on my Pinterest - is Burberry Spring 2013. There were some gorgeous color combinations, and that purple color pops up in a few places.
