Leather Jackets and Maxi Skirts

Just like in Monday's post, I took advantage of the cooler temperatures to wear another winter piece, my leather jackets, before it's too far into spring to enjoy them! Wearing both of my black leather jackets with some comfortable maxi skirts, and Chloe bags.

What I wore:

Jacket: Asos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Earrings: Prouds gold and silver spiral drop earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
Tee: Atmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoes: thrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
Bag: Chloe Marcie medium shoulder bag in nut

Why I wore it:

Wore this for Father's day and I absolutely loved this outfit! Not too impressed with the photos, this slouchy tee always looks so rumpled in the pics, but it is super soft and the deep purple/burgundy shade was nice with the black leather jacket and the black maxi skirt. I thought pairing the black leather jacket with the black skirt would bring out the print on the jacket a little more, but it's still as subtle as ever!

This was the perfect outfit for a bit of an overcast day. Luckily our plans for the day weren't derailed by the rain - I took hubby and the kids to Australia's biggest retro arcade for Father's Day. It was a surprise for the kids too as I knew if I'd told them where we were going they would have been too excited to not tell their Dad! 😂 All the machines were free play, so we just had to pay an entry fee and then unlimited games. We ended up spending so much time there, definitely good value for money!

Took my Chloe Marcie bag so I could have some snacks for the kids and our water bottles, it's such a big bag for that.

Last worn: printed leather jacket, spiral earrings, burgundy tee, gold charm necklace, black maxi skirt, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag, Adidas Superstar sneakers.

Other ways to wear: black printed leather jacket worn 30 ways, burgundy tee over a dress, black maxi skirt and denim jacket, Chloe Marcie shoulder bag and pink dress, Adidas Superstar sneakers and jeans.

What I wore:

Jacket: Jeanswest black leather moto jacket
Scarf: Alexander McQueen skull scarf in light blue
Tee: Cotton On deep v tee in washed desert rose
Skirt: thrifted pinstripe maxi skirt
Shoes: Converse Chuck Taylor All Star low in black
Bag: Chloe periwinkle small Paraty

Why I wore it:

This day was a bit colder and a lot less fun than the weekend at the arcade above! Wore a plain black leather jacket this time, with the grey pinstripe maxi skirt that I felt hadn't been worn in a while and was due another wear. I like pink and grey together so this pink tee was an obvious choice, although I did cover most of it up with the blue Alexander McQueen scarf! I thought the scarf was a nice compliment with the periwinkle Chloe Paraty bag though, even if the shades don't match exactly.

After the school drop off I had an appointment in the morning, working from home, then picking the kids up and taking them to an appointment for my son in the afternoon. Busy day!

How You Can Wear It:

Maxi skirts are great for cooler days as they keep your legs covered up. They are so easy to layer too, with leggings underneath on really cold winter days, and a leather jacket and maybe even a scarf on top to stay cosy.
