The Friday Girl: How to Wear Leather in Your 30s

Second in the How to Wear Leather Series is the 30s!Ok, so these aren't strictly real leather but you can find some absolutely gorgeous real leather trousers on the market out there. These are a fab alternative that can also be layered over normal leggings for a thicker appearance, I normally do this with my leggings to avoid the see-throughness if they aren't thick enough! Paired with a classic chic striped top and denim jacket this is a great relaxed weekend outfit. 

Top: New Look
Denim Jacket: Topshop
Handbag: Topshop
Boots: Topshop
Leather-Look Leggings: Dorothy Perkins

Summer Skirts

So Summer has officially arrived and as the temperature rises more ladies are ditching the tights and leggings. Luckily, there are so many types of skirts to accommodate everyone's needs.

Here are a range of skirts from the high street. Which do you prefer?
