Jessica's Style: Leather Layers

With the weather taking a definite turn over the last week, I've been reaching further back into the wardrobe for warmer clothes. The problem with Auckland, well, not really a problem, but you do tend to need to layer at this time of year; one minute it's sunny, the next it's raining then it could be blowing a gale, then back to sunny with some humidity for good measure — all in the space of a day! Luckily, I love to layer; singlets with oversized t-shirts, with jackets then scarves. Pair with your favourite jeans and a pair of ankle boots (I just bought myself a pair of 11.) or how about those sandals (that heel is just gorgeous...)

With this weather change, I've been coveting a leather jacket. It's so hard to find the perfect one! And by perfect I mean one that isn't going to mean getting into debt or selling a vital organ to own. Here are some that I have found that would fit the bill quite nicely. A little bit 80's a dash of 50's and something that looks layered and will of course go with everything.... picky you say? Pfftt. I'll find one

Really this style post is a "today, I wish I could wear....."

Is there anything that you are wanting to add to your own wardrobe this Winter?

  1. I've been looking for a leather jacket this season too. I feel like it is an investment so when I find the perfect one, I don't mind shelling out for it. Better to find the perfect one that a not so perfect one.

    I have quite the collection of leather boots now but I've never owned a leather jacket.

    Smoove/Grot Shop in Little High Street have a selection of reasonably priced leather jackets in lots of different colours. Even red!

    1. Totally agree; definitely not something that should be bought cheaply! So hard to find something though that isn't (what I feel) over priced when it's $900 and up *sniff* I must check those places out! Thanks for the suggestion :)

  2. Ohh, that crocheted top is gorgeous. Wish I had those eyelashes in picture #7! Sigh, stumpy lashes for life.

    1. So beautiful! And a reasonable price too.... Aww, at least there are false lashes which I'm pretty sure those are ;) xx
