Do I dare wear my beautiful leather a line skirt for work tomorrow?

I know...first world problem
I recently acquired a beautiful, butter soft oxblood leather a line skirt from mango (via ebay). I adore it, but have not worn it. Don't go out much in the evening (2 young children) and it seems a bit OTT for work.
Thoughts? I work in a non corporate environment where people dress smartly but not suit smart. I would team with a fitted sweater and grey shoe boots

I also have a beautiful black A line buttery leather skirt and I have worn it to work - wear your favourite clothes, life is too short!

Sounds gorgeous!

Gem124 · 03/12/2014 16:18

Did you wear it??

BlueEyedWonder · 03/12/2014 20:11

I have a black pleather skater style skirt from Oasis. I wore it to work the other day with opaques and a fitted grey merino sweater and black pointed flats.

I did wear it Gem! No one keeled over in shock that I was wearing a leather skirt I was clearly being very silly about it. It felt really nice and it will defo become part of my workwear repertoire!

Yay!
Well done!!

Brilliant!

RonaldMcDonald · 03/12/2014 22:59

why do we keep saying buttery to describe leather?
is it because soft skinny sounds wrong?

sleepdodger · 04/12/2014 00:10

I wear mine all the time with smart shirts and jumpers

Greengardenpixie · 04/12/2014 16:21

I think butter soft is a lovely word. Its like the softness of butter left out of the fridge. I like that description! :)

Gem124 · 04/12/2014 22:17

Yay!! Well done you. Bet you felt lovely :-) xx

ive just bought a leather look tight mini skirt and wore it to work teamed with 6 inch high heels and a white blouse and had great complements off the rest of the women and being 49 years young i felt great ,now some off the women who are of same age and older have just bought leather skirts . so wear it to work age is just a number not a barrier.

I am jealous if you all wearing nice things for work - I wear a uniforms and generally look like crap at work!

Where does one buy a lovely A line leather skirt? I really want one now!

Greengardenpixie · 09/02/2015 20:58

Well i got a lovely one from linea at house of fraser. It was a real bargain. Not sure if they have any left. I had to go up a size because leather has no give whatsoever and am still working of the christmas bulge

Greengardenpixie · 09/02/2015 20:59
