Look of the Day: Cowboy-ish

So, when you think of a leather+denim combo, I’m sure John Wayne comes to mind, but you might be surprised to realize you can also achieve a more sophisticated look using that exact same combo. Here I present you my results experimenting with it, and I am really happy with how the whole outfit came out.

By the way, this leather skirt is one of the items I had been dying to show you (as I had previously mentioned on this post), and finally I get a chance to do it now that the weather is allowing. I had been dreaming about owning a leather skirt for years (literally!), but usually they come in the form of pencil skirts which are not really flattering on me. Then, last year I bought a faux leather version similar to this one at H&M, but after trying it a few times, decided to return it as it had some pleats that also weren’t very flattering on me. So I was beyond ecstatic to find this gem at bebe a couple of months ago. I am completely in love with it and already have a million outfits planned for it, I’ll probably live in it this winter.

What do you think about a leather+denim combo? Would you wear it? Are you planning to wear any leather items this season? Please share!

Wishing you a lovely weekend darlings :)

The winner

I know the presidential elections here in the US are not happening for another 10 days, but my title for this post refers to a much shallower subject… The voting you guys did on the Facebook page of abril’s corner. For those of you who missed it and don’t know what I’m talking about, here’s the story: I had been searching for the perfect leopard pumps for a while, and finally found two pairs the look like good candidates, one pointy toe pair and one round toe pair; I was indecisive between the two so I figured I would ask for help from you, my beloved readers, through Facebook. I really appreciate the fact that many of you took the time to share your opinion with me. However, I still wasn’t sure which way to go when I stumbled upon a third pair, not too pointy not too round, just perfect! So I ended up going with option #3. What do you think about my choice?

The two original candidates

Now, with this decision made, I can cross one more item off my never ending wish list. The rest of the items left on it at the moment, and ones I’ll be keeping an eye out for on my following shopping excursions, are these:
