Fall Purchases: Plain and Simple

I've been doing an unhealthy amount of shopping over the last few weeks (I'm totally blaming ASOS and their 50% off sale for pushing me over the edge), and thought I'd share a few items out of the dozens I've actually bought. Did you really expect anything more than the basics from me? I didn't think so! I've tried to fight this urge for minimalist perfection, but always succumb to the beige coloured, stripe filled, black leathery goodness of plain pieces. I've decided to stop fighting this battle and just accept that I have boring wants!

I was in desperate need of leather goods, so much so that I scoured the depths of the internet to find this beauty. To be honest, I'm thinking this site is a scam site, but my desperation left me vulnerable to taking that risk. I screamed when I found a pleated leather skirt, for under a hundred dollars, custom made to my size... I just had to take the risk. *shakes head into a faceplam* To be quite honest, everything purchased after this skirt was bought to be worn with it... Can you fall in love with an item of clothing you've never met? Lets hope I'm not left disappointed like the many times before, and if I am, I also bought this ASOS Curve Suede Drapey Skirt to cry myself to sleep with, so all will be well!

those cut out oxfords are SOOOOO incredible. If I had the money I would bite your style and buy them too.... Incredible picks and such your aesthetic. I say stick with what your comfy with and what looks good on you. It'll make you happier in the long run!!! I hope that leather cult site is the real thing, can't wait to see the results. If they are awesome you may have just drummed up business for them!! Come visit me sometime...
