Monday Must Have 07/11/11

Hello beautts. How're we all doing today? I woke up with the crappiest headache going, tried sleeping it off (with the aid of the cat who decided a long lie-in was purrfect protocol) and it just seems to have got worse - boo! I should probably step away from the laptop screen but I'd get withdrawal within a minute.

Today we return to that Monday staple here on fashionismyh2o - Monday Must Haves. I'm quite interested in seeing your thoughts on this one as it's a little bit controversial. Not to the scale of Xfactor (omg Frankie whaaat?) but enough that it usually gets people talking. In case you're wondering what I'm going on about which is probably a theme on this blog my 'must-have' item of the day today is :

H&M £24.99
Oh yes. It's leather. And here's a few different ways of styling to show you don't have to wait for after dark debauchery to work this.

Outfit One
 Leather is one hundred percent perfect if you have a little bit of a bohemian flair. The luxury of the material makes it so beautiful contrasted with other fabrics such as this chunky suede gillet and floaty floral scarf. A range of tones and textures bring this look together in a subtle warm way and the chunky jewellery just finishes it off to perfection. Team with thick tights in the winter in any wine coloured shade.

Outfit Two
 Outfit Two definitely has the typical Autumnal colour scheme - lots of mustards, browns and plaid tones mixed together. It's also a delicious nod to the Grunge trend which I personally think was maaade for Autumn. The bag compliments the detailing on the boot perfectly and the gloves and scarf pull it all together. Then I can safely say that that plaid jacket is definitely on my Winter Wish List.

Outfit Three
 The complete opposite to the previous outfit, this set is the perfect way to showcase that actually, leather can be incredibly classy, thankyou. I adore the cream fitted jacket here - I'm getting Gossip Girl vibes from this one again. The patent flats are absolutely adorable and help to keep this look day-time friendly. Then we have the classic tote bag and ladylike gloves to top everything off.

Outfit Four
 
Lastly we have this slightly Rock chick outfit which links back to what you'd stereotypically expect from a Leather based outfit. The chunky knit cardigan is both cosy and effortlessly chic (it'd look fabulous over skinny jeans and long boots too). The bag adds just enough colour to prevent a bland appearance. The chunky cuff and keyhole ring are both quirky and add a fun edge to the look. Then those boots and that hat keep the look fresh from top to toe. Perfection.

There we are loves. Four ways to wear leather and no killer heels in sight!
