When you wear a leather skirt in lilac, the leather becomes less of a Thing and the skirt becomes more wearable
In fashion as in life, there is nothing wrong with making mistakes, you just have to try not to keep making the same ones over and over again. A telltale sign that you are doing this is that you have a wardrobe full of clothes, but nothing to wear. Sound familiar?
In fashion, you pay for your errors in actual money, so boo-boos quickly add up. I have learned this the hard way, through being a leather idiot. It has taken me two decades to stop buying leather skirts and dresses that I don’t wear. That time I bought a leather jacket and realised I looked like Dennis Waterman rather than Debbie Harry was a bit of a downer, but not nearly as much as it was the time I did the same a year later.
