ASOS Leather & Faux Fur Jacket / ASOS Chunky Cardigan / Full Circle Dress / StylistPick Velvet Boots * / Balenciaga City

The leather jacket & cardigan were both picked up in my huge ASOS sale haul I mentioned in the previous outfit post, have I ever mentioned how much I love ASOS? Because I do, and their sales make me go a little crazy, buying up pretty much anything black.

This jacket has got to be one of my favourite things I’ve brought so far this year, and the fact it was super cheap in the sale (£42!) makes it even better. The leather is so buttery soft, with that perfect slightly loveworn look to it, but the faux ponyhair sleeves are what drew me to it & made me have to have it. They’ve also caused numerous strangers to come up & stroke me, not that I blame them, I seem to have a thing for strokeable clothing recently!

The cardigan was another of those things, like the maxi dress, that was so me I couldn’t pass it up. It’s thick, draped & with that lovely waffle texture that makes it so snuggly. It also has amazing white geometric patterned sleeves, which I’ll show you soon, once it warms up again. Speaking of warm, can we please have Spring now already? It’s almost April & it has just started snowing again as I’m typing this… Sigh…

Barbour Waxed & Leather Jacket / By Malene Birger Leather Dress / Firetrap Leggings / Michael Kors Zipped Dress
White Leaf Rose Gold Bangle

Psyche has evolved over the last 30 years into one of the UK’s leading designer concept stores, stocking a mixture of premium designer labels & more accessible brands, meaning there is something for everyone.

I have totally fallen for the Barbour jacket, the leather collar & lapels are such a nice, subtle contrast against the waxed cotton body & the little quilted details are great touches too. I have enough biker jackets as it is, but I think the mixture of fabrics here make it different enough compared to my others to add it to my ever growing wishlist of jackets!

I’ll never tire of a good leather dress either, and this By Malene Birger one is so great with it’s super fitted shape, huge zip & slightly cropped sleeves, I’d defy anyone to not feel seriously amazing after they’d poured themselves into this! The Michael Kors one is also very tempting at it’s current sale price, I’m not usually a fan of his & I’d definitely ditch the tan belt, but I love the zip detailing & the structured shape.

I love the two tone paneling on the Firetrap leggings, I would never usually wear leggings as trousers, but these look as though they’re thick enough to do so & it would be a shame to cover up those nice zipped pockets. I’m a little obsessed with the rose gold cuff too, I think it would look beautiful worn at the top of the arm, warrior princess style!

FAIIINT Draped Cropped Leather Jacket / ASOS Maxi Dress / Rick Owens Wedges / Balenciaga City

After having just spent a small fortune on a sale haul from ASOS I really shouldn’t have spent any more, but when I saw this maxi dress I couldn’t help but make another order. You know when you see something & it is just so you, it could have been made for you? This was one of those pieces, I couldn’t say no to it. The asymmetric midi/maxi hem, the contrasting jersey/crepe panels that give it a little stiffness & that beautiful flared shape & the top half is a t-shirt too, total perfection.

My cropped leather jacket from my degree collection (are you sick of seeing this yet?!) was the perfect compliment to the long lengths, I love playing with proportions, especially when wearing maxi lengths. Everytime I wear this I remind myself I need buy some more leather & make a better (less rushed) version, but never get around to it. I’m hoping to get my machine fixed in the next few weeks though, as I plan on making some summery dresses & shirts, so hopefully I might get around to it then.

Also, on a side note, I overheard some chavvy kids call me ‘the angel of death’ whilst wearing this, I think because it billows out so much when I walk, and of course all of the black… I’m sure they meant it as an insult, but I definitely spent the rest of the day swooshing around with this in my mind!
