Leather Skirts and Bucket Bags

I’m not a big fan of pencil skirts and leather bottoms. I reserve the former for mature engagements and the latter for, well, the bedroom. But when I saw what Agyness Deyn wore at the New York premier of Inglorious Basterds, I had a sudden change of heart. I didn’t think you could wear a pencil cut, body-con, leather skirt with a grunge T-shirt and look awfully stunning. Dress dangerously and bring out the rebel in you a la Agyness Deyn or break free from fashion norms and experiment with other items in your closet. Try pairing it with an ultra feminine top for that subtle rockstar look.

Bucket bags with long twisted metal straps are a closet staple this Fall. Babies of the eighties, rummage through your closet and get set to mix and match this B-bag with just about anything. For the 20-somethings, go vintage and raid your mothers’ closet. This carryall can go from coffee dates to night outs with friends. Glamorize and make an 80's statement without going overboard.

LOVE the bucket bags! I want one with an extra long strap--perfect for partying!

Leather's not for everybody, but I'm positive you'd rock a leather skirt!
