BIKER GIRL

. BLACK ON BLACK .

I’m actually quite good at adding colour into my looks, I love a vibrant or pastel colour & always think they compliment my blonde hair, but every now and then I get the urge to channel an (nearly) all black outfit. There’s nothing like the simplicity that black (and white) brings to an outfit & the chic look it creates. I’ve started to wear a lot more black lately & this is 90% of the time in the form of my leather skirts and ankle boots.

As you will very well know, or have probably noticed, my typical uniform is a feminine cut leather skirt (usually pencil or mini) styled with either a simple fitted tee or a cosy oversized jumper. I can’t help but feel comfortable in this kind of outfit & I love that it’s suitable for work, evening and weekend which is really important to me. 

I wore this outfit to work last week & it was the first outing of my new French Connection jumper which I picked up in the sale a couple of weekends ago. I’d been eyeing up the French Connection sweaters for some time, but after seeing this cropped version reduced to a bargain cost of £20 I decided there was no excuses not to embrace it. The material is super soft & the greyish white sweater gives a cool sports luxe edge to my leather skirt look. I finished the look with my Zara leather moccasin’s which i’ve got SO much wear out of since I bought them, my Warehouse suede biker jacket which I picked up in the sale a couple of years ago (its one of my most cosy coats) & finally my Mulberry Holly bag which I’ve not featured on the blog in a while. I’ve you’ve followed my blog for a while you’ll know I have a rather overzealous Mulberry collection & love the brand.
