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:

JacketAsos Black by Markus Lupfer printed leather jacket
Earrings: Prouds gold and silver spiral drop earrings
Necklace: personalised gold children's names charm necklace
TeeAtmos&Here rolled sleeve oversized tee in wine
Skirt: thrifted Crossroads black ruffle hem maxi skirt
Shoesthrifted Adidas Superstar sneakers
BagChloe 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.

BagChloe 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.

  2. Too bad the shirt and jacket don't photograph well. It's more important that you enjoy wearing them, though.

    1. Definitely! How you feel in an outfit is always more important than how it looks :)

    1. It was such a fun day out! And this tee is my favourite even if it looks more crumpled than relaxed in photos, haha!

  5. A retro arcade?! Oh my gosh, that sounds like so much fun. What a great way to treat the whole family to something special. I can definitely understand why you didn't tell anyone until the day of. It would be hard to keep something like that a secret! I love what you wore. That purse is so beautiful. That light blue scarf is gorgeous as well <3
    the creation of beauty is art.

    1. Just looks a bit messy and crumpled in the photos, although it's the softest most comfortable tee to wear in person, I love it!

  12. I like both of these outfits so much! Father's day sounds like so much fun. We used to visit an arcade in Disney that was like that and it was awesome. I'd much rather pay upfront and get to play all day than pay by game.

    1. Yes it was a lot of fun playing that way, especially with the boys being so little - took them a while to figure out some games!
