So…if I look kind of awkward in these pictures it’s because there were people right behind me just standing there while we were taking these photos… It turns out when I feel awkward my crazy eyes come out and ruin photos. I had to delete a lot of the photos we took but I think I found some normal ones!
Anyway, I’ve been wanting to try out the leather and lace (or embroidery) combo. I’d just been waiting for the right pieces. And this weekend I found this faux leather skirt that I thought would be perfect!
I’ve been thinking about saving up for a real leather pencil/mini skirt since I do think leather pieces are worth it. But when I saw this skirt for $25 my cheap side took over and I thought of all the other clothes I could get for the price of one genuine leather skirt! But I do really like this one because the faux leather doesn’t look so fake. I actually think it looks like real leather!
Do you guys invest in real leather pieces or go for “faux”?

I need to get myself a leather skirt, it's a must. It looks perfect on you!
Cute! This looks like a great date-night or out with the girls outfit. Very classic!
You're so wonderful and classy, love the touch of red on your lips.

Gorgeous skirt! I always want to give the leather skirt and pants a shot but it's still so bloody hot here!
Ok this is totally sexy without being TOO sexy. I love it!
Leather and lace is one of my favorite combos—edgy and feminine!
xo honestly, b.
I always want real leather over fake. I've told myself I'm no longer allowed to buy faux leather bags, but sometimes you find something you love and it's made of plastic, and what can you do?
I do really love this combination, and I will definitely be doing it myself!

These two pieces together are so gorgeous!
I usually buy faux leather too. It's a fraction of the cost and you can often find pieces that have almost the same look/feel as real leather.

Your skirt looks great. Well your whole outfit looks amazing. Is a mix of good girl/bad girl lol. I think faux leather looks just as great.

Great fashion minds think alike! I am featuring the same top in black on the blog today. I love how pretty the pattern of the lace is and really wanted to buy the cream color too. Such a great look and for $25 – you scored!
