Thrifting the Trends

Put Together: Styling a Leather Skirt

March 26, 2014 by Double Minted

We were both working with faux leather skirts here, but the same concepts still apply. Even the wonderful Mr. Tim Gunn agrees that faux is a now a passable alternative to the real thing!

But please don’t call it “pleather” or “vegan”. One dates you and the other is just annoying.

If you can’t settle for anything but the real thing, however, there are plenty of leather skirts to be found in thrift (and especially vintage) stores! (Britt found a great one one time, but it ripped, *tear*)

BRITTANY’S SKIRT: Bar III pleated faux-leather A-line from Macy’s (purchased on sale online at Macys.com)

DEVON’S SKIRT: Faux-leather pencil with zipper detail from H&M

Feminine Lace: The idea here is girl-next-door with a bit of an edge.
Crochet Blouse – Amazon.com, but this style can be found all over the place
Shoes – Report found at Ross
Necklace – H&M

Rocker Girl: A good look for a concert or a dance club.
Shirt – thrift store find, cut an tied into a new more feminine shape
Boots – Hand-me-down from a friend
Necklace – H&M
Bracelet – Gift from Dad

Cozy: Dressed for cold weather, but the leather makes it more interesting.
Sweater – cashmere mock-neck, hand-me-down from Mom
Scarf – J Crew (borrowed from husband)
Tights – Hue
Boots – Timberland
Jewelry – vintage bangles and natural turquoise ring, all hand-me-downs from Grandma

Laid Back: The blouse says “weekend” but the skirt says “I’ve got somewhere to be”
Blouse – H&M clearance
Boots – Payless Shoes
Necklace – made by Devon
