Outfit: leather pants: Rag & Bone (my post), Blouse: Equipment Diem tie-front in orchid (another colour here), Primark floral belt (cute ones here), Zara top, Bangles: COS (2 square ones), Watch: Liberty wrap watch, Earrings: Gorjana Fairytale, Clutch: Topshop, Shoes: COS heeled brogues, Leather jacket (ph. 2): Gooseberry,

It's a kind of a good-girl-gone-bad theme today but still with a hint of good girl. My inspiration came from the fantastic posts of the many talented fashionbloggers I read frequently. Actually, I was a black leather peplum top from H&M on a blog which spelled out total good-girl/bad-girl confusion. So I brought that to this post with mixing two contrasting textures, colours & clothing concepts together.

I feel leather pants brings out the melancholic in me:  Somehow I cannot imagine being a happy, cheerleader-esque person in leather pants because of the 'cool girl'  aura it has. Perhaps if leather pants would come in peach, lilac & baby blue tones? As for crop-tops, they are actually quite 'cheerleader'. I actually like this season's crop-top & bralet trends! I wore them a lot in my teens! But there comes the issue of being age-appropriate!  So I tied my Equipment blouse above the waist, but kept a darker, matching top underneath to keep it age-appropriate or not so bare.

my first leather pants

Sometimes you just have to take the plunge when buying something online of an item you never ventured upon before.

To me, that was a pair of leather pants.

Neither had I tried Rag & Bone before.

However, leather-expert Jacqueline (the same fashiongirl with the shoe-expertise I admire) branded this pair as the best leather pants you could get. She has tons of them, so she must know what she is talking about. So after lots of hesitating I bought them, even though, on sale, they still were massively expensive to my liking.

So there you go: I own my first pair of leather pants that are of the prettiest brown colour (slightly copperish) ever, fit like a excellent pair of jeans and have nothing of that slightly tacky appeal that some leather pants might have.

But they still are quite sexy, when you can find the subtle sexiness in them.

They will probably be my only pair of leather pants for a while. I do have some leather skirts, though, but normally they are more affordable ;P
