@mohawkchic, I wonder if you can give me some styling tips. A page back we spoke about my mum's leather trousers, well I have found a trove of the leather stuff at her place, not sure i should call them treasure or trash. All very soft leather so I can alter if this leather rival thing is doable undecided undecided.

She's got a really long,almost floor length black skirt, a black leather basket weave effect fitted short jacket, I Iike these just for cas wear, but how would I wear, all together with black boots (mafia stylee undecided undecided) or what. They can all be made to fit me very tightly, which is what I want.
I can post them if you need to look kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss

~Hey ML. . .Wud love to see pics. . .

~I've got a couple of suggestions & a question. . .You can dress down & Glam both items together or on their own depending on what you pair it with. . .

~BTW how wud you describe your Sense of Style? You'd forgive me if you find my suggestions SoOo-not-your-style. . . Usually all it takes regardless of one's personal style,is the right ensemble,accessories. . . .

~Having read how you feel about Midi,Knee length. . i'll suggest Calf Length High Waist A-line Pencil shape. . . that is if you are comfy in that style,i'm sure You'll Rock whatever alterations you make. . .

~You Cud Rock this look w/ White Tank top & Weave Effect fitted Jacket,Boots for Casual Chic Look. .


~Transform it w/ Quater length/Sleeveless Shirt/Top,Thin Spaggetti/"Abortion" Belt

~Not digging the Metalic Top combo. . .but giving you an idea of how you cud work the glam look w/ leather skirt


~I'm sure you'll find something that goes w/ the Jacket. . might serve a better purpose on chilly summer nights out perhaps?. . .Seein how its too cold to wear on its own. . .Will toy w/ other ideas when you post pic. . .

@mohawkchic, a BIG THANK YOU.


One thing I will say, my mother's wardrobe really taught me a lesson, buying too many clothes is NEARLY A CRIME.

I love the 1st combination,  I have loads of tanks, so that means no spending needed to do that look.GREAT.

2nd combination,I did not even think about putting shirts with leather,that means i may even use one of her slim knee high skirts with my shirts,great for work.Fantastic,will save me bucks.

I love the almost on the floor shirt,  is the length wearable now with chunky long boots? ( cas for the day)

I have also found out that the real 80s stuff fit differently from the 80s inspired clothes, but I can alter all myself (spent half my 20s doing evening classes of one sort or the other)

I have shown the jacket with a silly belt, but that was all i could find (sold off all of mine on ebay) so if  the jacket is wearable i will need to make it small at the waist.

I have shown the pants with a side on view so that you can see that the shapes more rounded on the hips, and they are not tight enough,I will alter.

I have shown the skirt with the boots i would like to wear it with,or should I wear with a more fitted style of boot (i have a few pairs )the skirts too big but I will alter.

Can I wear the leather pants inside the heavy boots or will it be too much?

Ok my style's really paired down, I am large busted and narrow on the bottom half, so I prefer the simple look to the sexy,hate looking too glam, unless I really have to. kiss kiss kiss

Re: ~ Retro 60's ~70's & 80's Trend Revival Plus All The Latest Fashion Trends ~ by spikedcylinder: 9:02am On Jan 16, 2010

@spikedcylinder, thanks smiley smiley. She's got loads more but I am at work now, I will post more if you need when I get back to her place.

I think you get the idea of the stuff, she's got floor length leather coats as well but not sure about those.

@mohawkchic, a BIG THANK YOU.



~No Woories. . . You've actually inspired me to want to try other  Leather apparels other than the Jacket! Dresses to be precise. . Now that wa son my list of "Things-I-Wont-Be-Caught-Wearing!" I've seen some really gorgeous ones while searching for pics for you. . .


madlady:

One thing I will say, my mother's wardrobe really taught me a lesson, buying too many clothes is NEARLY A CRIME.

~You can say that again!! I've had a few reflective moments. . but that's all it was "Moments". . very brief ones at that! I always say you only Live Once!!If all the top priorities are sorted & i can afford to spoil  myself silly Why Not!! At least you're able to revamped your finds. . I've got a son who wont be interested in all the junk i'm collecting!!

~Glad you found some of the  pairing ideas helpful & will be doing your own combo's at no cost on the pocket!


~I think the cut of the skirt determines if you can get away w/ wearing long boots underneath. . if it's got a flare cut then yeah you can. . however if its more A-line fit. . there's a tendency for the boot to give an almost clumpy effect where it cuts off on the knee. . .Pic of the skirt seem to only load past the hanger so i cudnt tell the cut. . .

~You get to  rummage thro your Mam's stuff & make  the clothes hip again!! Lucky You! On picking up a few nips & tucks. . .

~I Love the Jacket!!Be sure to post pics after your alterations. . .



madlady:

Can I wear the leather pants inside the heavy boots or will it be too much?


~It wud be a shame to cover up the Croc boots. . but i aint too sure if it will be much. .you ought to try it & see how it works. . only way i think you'll pull it off is if you use a hip belt on it. . w/ a shirt tucked in. . The image of Riding a horse gear suddenly pops in my head. . . .

~Aaah. . .Plus of chics who only do the Glam once in a while is it's like a totally different person compared to having to slap on the glam on a daily basic. . .
