5 ways to style a leather skirt!

I've always loved leather when it comes to fashion. My leather jacket is and has been my best friend, for several years now. I probably wear it in 95% of my outfits. Recently I invested in a good leather skirt and I am completely in love with it! Leather is so in fashion this fall, and I wanted to be prepared so I put together some outfits to find out how I wanted to style it, and I thought I would take some pictures to show you!




Crop Top: H&M
Leather Skirt: Pieces
Stockings:H&M
Sneakers: Converse

The first outfit I wanted to be sporty and simple. Since the skirt is high wasted, it's perfect to pair with a crop top, like this one.




Bralette: Cubus
Crochet crop top: Unknown
Leather skirt: Pieces
Stockings: H&M
Wedges: Unknown

This outfit I also wanted to be fitting for summer, but a little more on the girly side. Sticking to the crop tops, I chose a crochet one and paired it with this super cute black, lace bralette.






Blouse: Unknown
Bralette: Cubus
Leather Skirt: Pieces
Stockings: H&M
Pumps: Din Sko

In this outfit I paired the skirt with a sheer blouse. Just like the last outfit it's a bit revealing so I put on the same bralette underneath. I wanted this outfit to be a bit dressier so I added some red lipstick and a pair of tall pumps.






Top: Springfield
Leather Skirt: Pieces
Stockings: Cubus
Boots: Din Sko

This outfit is perfect for when the weather gets a little bit chilly. I really love the combination of these to pieces. The stripes kind of distracts you from the kind of edgy material of the skirt, and the result is a very soft look.


Top: Only
Knit Sweater: Only
Leather Skirt: Pieces
Stockings: H&M
Boots: Din Sko

This is kind of the same outfit as the previous one, but with a chunkier, knit sweater. I love the combo of leather and knit material. This look is perfect for fall/winter days, and if it gets really cold (like here in Norway) you can always put on a long-sleeved sweater and leggings underneath.

I tried to keep all these looks really simple and with few accessories, so it will be easy for anyone to style these outfits in their own way.

This summer…

I found an amazing bathroom, so I obviously had to take a selfie in the mirror...

I went to the best festival ever!

I hung out with friends and got to feel like a child again...

I saw some beautiful sunsets...

I spent time with my family (aaaand my dog)...

I ate a lot of amazing food.

Wow… I just realized how few photographs I have taken this summer. But I guess that's a good thing - it shows that I've had a good time and not worried about showing everybody how much fun I've had. There are some more pictures on my instagram, though, so if anyone wants to see more pictures from this summer (or my everyday life) you can check it out here.

I go back to school on monday… It's really insane to think about… This summer has passed by so quickly.

- How was your summer? What have you been up to?
