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…

Layers, textures, I love this look! (Amazing cardi!)
It’s supposed to be very warm here today but looking at you makes me wish I lived somewhere cold enough to wear layers…I guess the grass is always greener…

The waffle cardigan looks gorgeous and snug! As does the jacket with the very strokeable sleeves :) you get it right every time Steph! I love Asos too, had to snap up a couple of scarves this morning with the 48 hour 25% student discount at Unidays (one was for my mum though!) xxx
FAIIINT says
Hehe! Thankyou! I don’t blame you, it would be rude not to with that discount! ;)
Josie says
I’m addicted to ASOS too! Your jacket is gorgeous and looks super cosy for this awful weather. Spring where are youuuu? xxx
FAIIINT says
Urgh, tell me about it! It’s depressing me now! Hopefully we’ll have a really nice Summer to make up for it?!

winnie says
That jacket is awesome! I always seem to miss the sales on ASOS, I wish I had bagged a few bargains! I can’t get over the price of it, £42 for real leather is insane!
FAIIINT says
I know! I couldn’t believe it either when I saw it, there are pretty much all sizes left in it too – I’m blaming bad styling, it is so much nicer in person than it looked on the product page!
Sonia says
Ahhhhhh how do you find these!!!! I mean I find some nifty stuff on ASOS too but damn nothing like this! That jacket is show stopper. It makes traffic stop. It makes heads spontaneously combust. OMG!
Happy Sunday lovely,

Steph, you look great and mixing textures is the perfect way to make monochrome outfits even more special! I could have not resisted to the cardigan either and, just to make you feel better, there is no sign of spring in Brussels…just snow! But next week I’m heading to sunny Italy and I cannot wait to spend some hours outside! Take care, Caterina
FAIIINT says
Ahh, I am so jealous Caterina! Hope you will be posting some photos from your trip so I can daydream about lovely warm days! Heh! :)

Speaking of ASOS, that leather backpack I featured in my last post is back in stock! Maybe one was returned..? Click: http://bit.ly/10EvwUS
All the texture you’ve got going on in this outfit is lovely.
FAIIINT says
Ahh, damn, it’s sold out again! :( I shall add it to my wishlist though & fingers crossed it will come back in stock!
Steph says
