Red leather pants

I'm not sure if I can or ever will be able to get away with double leather, but I'm gonna do it anyway.  There's still a lot of haters out there of double denim, and I never shyed away from trying that, sooo...?
As is the rule when wearing double denim: two different shades are essential.  So I must be close to getting away with the leather version if I'm not only wearing two different shades, but two completely different colours?  Had I worn a matching leather jacket then, yes, you'd have every right to wonder what the hell I was doing.

Both the pants and the top are new (as was at least one item in all of my recent posts - I really should do a haul).  I didn't have to put any second thought into buying either of them.  The red leather pants are something which I've wanted ever since I can remember, and in this exact very-nearly-too-bright-for-the-camera shade, so I felt very lucky when I found them.  Oh, and I feel like I'm missing out a vital piece of information... Ah yes, I got them in the sale.  For fifteen pounds.  Oh fashion gods you do treat me well.
I'm not much a tank top wearer, I wore enough of them to make up for a lifetime when I was about thirteen, but the fit of this one is perfection.  It falls in all the right places meaning all my tats are on show (and I didn't hesistate to show that fact...).  I think the grey colour tones down the bright pants really well.  What do you think of the trousers, would you even go there?
Today I tattooed fruit.  It was fun.  And I only got a tiny squirt in the eye once.  I also got my tattoo started on yesterday, so watch this space to see that...

I've always said I can't fit my style into one category and that I would adopt completely different style personalities each day, however, after all these years, I think I'm finally learning what I like.  I'm not saying if you asked me to describe my style I could give you a three-worded answer, but I'm realising that there's certain looks which I am swayed towards more than others.  Maybe you've noticed as well if you've been a reader of my blog for a while?  I like grungy, I like sporty casual, and I like androgyous.  Well... at least I've narrowed it down? 
Don't get me wrong, I love a dress as much as the next girl and wearing one makes me feel great, but an outfit like the one I'm wearing today is becoming my go-to.  I've also been on quite the shopping spree over the last week or so, and I've bought much more out-there, statement pieces than I usually would.  This is a new start for my style y'all, so watch this space!

This top is one of my newest purchases, if you haven't already noticed it's the black version of the white t-shirt which I bought a couple of months ago and I happen to be a bit obsessed with.  I'm also waiting for the blue one to come into stock so I can snap that one up as well...  I'm reeeeeeally digging these flatforms which I also bought very recently, and I want them in every colour too.  Please.

Mesh t-shirt

Pompom hat & black faux fur gilét: TOPSHOP | Black mesh top: H&M | Red leather pants: RIVER ISLAND | Shoes: CONVERSE

I have had this top for a good few months now and only now am I getting round to wearing it for the first time, the tag came of yesterday.  I don't usually do this with new purchases and I tend to wear things within the first few days of buying them, but my answer is the top doesn't have a lot of fabric to it and it's been a little bit cold, hasn't it?  Not the greatest piece for winter.  I did of course already know this when I was buying, so the fact that I went ahead of bought it anyway should show how much I wanted it.
Saying that, it's still not exactly warm but I could not wait any longer.  Unfortunately I had to throw some faux fur into the look to avoid looking too insane as well as a good ol' wooly hat.  I don't usually choose to show off my, er, belly button area, but I really liked the floral, lace detail covering the breasticles so I thought that compensated for it.  Plus it makes me feel like a bit of a rockstar, just a little bit.  What added to that is these rockin' leather pants, which thanks to their colour made the black pieces a little bit more interesting.
I'll definitely be getting this t-shirt out much more frequently in the warmer seasons and will be wearing it with a pair of high-waisted denim shorts and a beanie, sorted.
I am looking forward to finishing uni tomorrow night as I have all of next week off, yaaaaaaaaay!  *mini Mexican wave* Am going to spend it taking lots of outfit photos, watching lots of rubbish, filming lots of videos for my Youtoob, putting lots of stuff on my ebay, taking lots of pictures for my Instagram, eating lots of food and spending lots of time with mummy.  Don't hate me 'cause you ain't me, guys.

Wishful Wednesday: Topshop Winter Coat

1. Topshop military faux fur coat £85 TOPSHOP | 2. Cut out cross ring £8.50 TOPSHOP | 3. Neon pink rib beanie £8 RIVER ISLAND | 4. Wax skinny trousers £39.99 ZARA | 5. Spiked headband £10 ASOS | 6. Fine cross necklace £6 ASOS | 7. Black PU pleated midi skirt £35 RIVER ISLAND | 8. Mismatch stud earrings £5 TOPSHOP

I spotted this coat in this month's issue of Company Magazine and, you know when you see something and you're pretty much certain you're gonna buy it?  Yeah, well that happened.  I assume it's not online/in stock yet as magazines usually do that really mean thing of featuring awesome clothes before they are even available, so you spend the next however many weeks of your life looking for one item.  I was actually expecting it to be from the Topshop Unique range, but to my surprise it's only £85 (well, 'only' for Topshop').
Buying a winter coat is just one of them things you have to do every year.  Am I right?  So it can't hurt to be prepared, and maybe save up a little bit... (Just a little.)  The military trend is my favourite for this coming season, so this coat is the perfect choice.  Faux leather items will be the perfect things to team it with.
