Pencil skirts are back with a bang for fall 2018! We're seeing them in leopard, fun textures and of course, the ever classic leather. Aside from a good Moto jacket everyone needs a leather item for their closet. For me, I like to buy mine vintage because well, it's cheaper in most cases and it's a little more sustainable. This particular skirt set me back $10 at Savers. We're already fully aware that I'm an avid Savers shopper. I LOVE searching for the buried treasure in stores and you really can't beat the prices (most items are under $7!). It also doesn't hurt being part of the Super Savers club which scores me coupons and discounts just about every trip, so definitely check that out!
That being said, I'll tell you right now: Savers is 100% the place to find all of your leather and suede goods for the season (remember this suede coat?) for under $25. The quality is always amazing and I'm pretty sure I've never spent more than $20 on a single item, including a few pairs of like-new suede and leather boots I picked up on my latest haul (coming soon). I'll admit, I occasionally find a musty leather piece but after tossing in a garbage bag with some baking soda for a few days you're good to go and can skip the hefty dry cleaning bill! So don't let that throw you off - it's easily remedied.
As for this particular skirt, it was a huge win if you ask me. I spotted it on the racks but didn't have time to try it on, so I threw into my cart and bought it with the rest of my finds. I got home, tried it on and it fit like a glove. YAS! For $10 and nearly perfect condition it felt like fate! I also scored a pair of low-rise purple leather pants that feel very Britney & X-tina from the early 00's but I need a minute to figure out how I'm going to style them...
Now, that you heard about how I snagged my skirt, let's talk about how to style it for now while it's still a little on the warmer side and for later when the temperatures call for a little more layering.
For Now:
I'm all about a graphic tee, classic heel and pop of color from another recent Savers find, this red leather bag with a tortoise shell handle ($12). I added the B&W scarf and extra pop of print & texture. Too much leather on leather can start to feel a little biker chic and I'm not quite going for that...
For Later:
A mock turtleneck, fitted coat and suede boots always do the trick. It's classic, easily put together and looks great. I opted for a suede boot to break up the textures...
