Luxe Leather Pencil Skirt

As you know, I’m not really a Rock n Roll sort of chic. A head to toe, Angelina Jolie  leather look,  isn’t my cup of tea. But I gladly made an exception for this luxe rich brown leather skirt from Ralph Lauren. Leather doesn’t always have to be moto jackets and rocker trousers. Give leather a ladylike spin in a pencil skirt.

It’s such a versatile, classic item that you can dress up or down. Mine will serve me many years as an autumn / winter workhorse.

Above: Brown and pink is one of my favourite colour combos (think Hummingbird Bakery). For a more casual look, I paired the pencil skirt with a pink cashmere jumper.

This girl can do no wrong: Alexa Chung pairs a luxe leather pencil skirt with a chunky knit jumper.

I’m wearing:  Leather Pencil skirt from Ralph Lauren at TK Maxx, pink cashmere jumper from tfc, hand bag from Antoni & Alison. If you are unsure of leather, go for a  colour other than black for a a less severe look.

When we talk about leather, we can’t leave Ange out:  She glams her leather pencil skirt up with a silk blouse.
