In the recent 25% off at ASOS I took the plunge and ordered the leather skirt i had been lusting after, with a whooping price tag of £80 (although i got it for £60) it is defiantly an expensive investment piece.
I sized up after some advice on twitter that it came up pretty small and short. But now when i wear it just under my bust, it is actually a tad big, but if i sized down, i don't think it would fit.
The leather is incredibly soft, i could sit stroking it for hours. It is fully lined and it has a side zip, which doesn't go into the waist band, that has an eye and hook fastening which i must say is a bit of a pain and difficult to get done up and undone. Also from the pictures on the website, i thought it would have more pleats in it, instead is it more skater style, emphasizing my hips a bit. On me the length is fine, but as you all know, i don't mind wearing short items.
All in all is this skirt worth £80? i don't really think so, i am still deciding if i keep it, i am not sure how much wear i would get out of it, and i'm hoping Forever 21 are about to launch their version which looks really similar.
