First of all, let me say how proud I am of this skirt! It’s real leather and I found it on sale (last one!) at H&M. I was gonna pass on it, even if I liked it so much, because it was a size L (too big for me), but I decided to try it anyway. I’m not sure if it’s a smaller cut or if I just had more weight on me when I tried it (I prefer the first option!), but it just needed a belt and a little work to fit perfectly!
I don’t wear it a lot because- I must confess that for a short person midi skirts are really difficult to pull off; that’s why I always wear it with my Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots to give me height!
I decided to give the skirt a retro style by pairing it with a polka-dot Zara blouse and vintage accessories: a clear Chanel cuff with strass, a diamante vintage necklace and gold ’70s bangles.
I also added my mum’s original Gianni Versace ’80s suede green belt (it is incredible to see the old Gianni Versace label on it)….one of my favorite vintage pieces ever!
Nice find!
