leather strapped

by Karen Blanchard
26 April 2010
Leather overalls: H&M. White dolman sleeve top: American Apparel. Blazer: Silence & Noise (Urban Outfitters). Shoes: ACNE. Scarf: Random
Typical Brit weather today; drizzly on and off rain. I can relate (of course).
I wore the leather overalls I picked up on clearance last week. Twitter followers get mini previews here of what I’ll probably post later, so they already saw the changing room pic.
The leather is matte (no shine) and has adjustable leather waist and ankle ties. Still can’t believe they were $200 (now $20). They reeeeally work too as oversized leather pants with the shoulder straps hanging down around the legs.
pps. I’m picking the winner tonight for the F21 ring giveaway and will announce the winner under Monday’s post.

    There is such power in black + white images; I shot some of myself earlier and compared to the color images, there’s just no comparison really. Excellent shoot love — though I must say a “no ma’am” to the leather overalls. I just blogged about being unable to reconcile leather shorts so overalls would just be out of the question.

    Leather overalls can go one of two ways….really really well or just wrong. Major props for making them look so effortless. The ACNE platforms were genius. Still keeps the rugged feel of the entire ensemble without losing the femininity.
