I know I’m 'bout to kill it

Before we get started: half way through taking outfit photos I heard a duck quacking in the river at the bottom of the garden, and she had ducklings!  I fed them lots of bread, not the worst distraction really.

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past week or so, then you'll know that everywhere is having a big sale at the moment, and you'll probably also be a lot financially worse off than you would have been had you been living under the rock.  Darn.  Well I can't speak for you, but I find sale items extremely hard to resist, and then if you add one thing to your basket oh well you might as well browse all the sale items to see if there's anything else you like (which there always is).  One must make the most of these things!

I don't buy many sheer tops because they're not the easiest thing to wear really, are they?  But I'm starting to embrace them recently, only thing is I want to buy a simple black triangle bra to put under them, as I think that makes them more about the top and less about the boobs, y'know?  But I tried it with this bra and it seemed to be acceptable, at least to my standards.
I used to not get all-black outfits because I thought that's the easiest way to just fade in the background, which is what I don't want to do with my fashion, but I've slowly realised if you do it right then it will create a really cool-but-subtle look.
I will say my number one rule which I'll always follow when wearing all black: RED LIPSTICK.

Red leather pants

Grey oversized tank top: ASOS | Red skinny leather pants: RIVER ISLAND | Black studded flatforms & black leather jacket: TOPSHOP

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...
