Atlantic-Pacific Blue/Black Layered Outfit

How, oh how, do I wish it was cold enough to be wearing this outfit right now. But no, I am stuck in sweltering hot Brisbane, steadfastly refusing to leave the one air-conditioned room in my house. Ah well, maybe If I look at pretty layered outfits like this, and keep up a steady flow of ice blocks I can trick my brain into thinking it's cold again lol.

This outifit is a super stylish way to wear a leather skirt. When choosing a skirt for this outfit it's important to get the length right. Too short, and the look won't be as put together and ladylike. The skirt I chose above is a great option, hitting the right length and bringing in the pleated detail of the original.

The coat I chose is also the appropriate length (you don't want to cover the hem of the skirt), and has a nice large stiff collar.

If you go to the Atlantic-Pacific blog, you'll see that there is a cosy, navy blue, turtleneck jumper under the coat. The one I chose is a little different, instead having a slouchy type turtleneck, but I think it'd look great with this outfit, and super warm :)

The outfit layers a pair of black over the knee socks, on top of a pair of black tights, adding to the preppy upper-east sideish vibe. Any basic variants of these options will do, but you can get great priced quality from ASOS, so I went with two options from there.

The original boots had a chunky heel, but the ones I chose are definitely in keeping, bringing in a touch of sexy to a very ladylike outfit, with the ankle height and pointed toe.

Finally add on a quilted handbag and stylish sunnies like the ones above, plus an alice headband and some red lippie, and you'll be ready to brave the chilliest of days in style :)
