This post is possibly a little redundant now, as summer seems to be OVAH and we’re freewheeling into autumn. Although I’m still clinging on to the promise of a heatwave, so maybe there’s relevance to be found here yet.
The thing is, leather is a fabric I associate with cold weather. Knee-high boots, motorcycle jackets, slinky pencil skirts in rich autumn hues – these things were made for chilly days. But earlier this year, when I packed away my cold weather clothing for the months of sunshine ahead (LOL), I hung on to my leather mini skirt. I felt that it could go so much further than tights and chunky knits, and I was right.

Despite being a heavy, warm-weather-unfriendly fabric, this skirt is surprisingly easy to wear when the sun shines. Paired with an all-black ensemble and my new favourite lace-up flats, it’s a simple approach to summer dressing.
(My general approach to summer dressing – all black everything. It’s foolproof.)
Your flat shoes remind me of what I’ve learned during history classes, the roman soldiers had sandals, let’s say similar to your shoes.
Sure, gladiator sandals. They’re a thing.
You are rocking this look!
Great outfit!! Adore your shoes…

Great look!
You girl remind me of an interesting way to rock my leather skirt in summer days. I often wear this item in winter with boots. Thanks for a stylish outfit. You’re very stylish in this look.

Leather is a very versatile piece of clothing, you can wear it in the winter, or rock in it during summer days. Like you have here, lookin’ great!
