Frugal buy: Next faux leather skirt

Fashion - By Alexandra Stedman
Sunglasses: Valentino. Top: H+M. Skirt: £38, Next. Sandals: reduced to £49, Kurt Geiger

So midis are here to stay. And so is leather. When I saw this skirt at the press day, I couldn’t actually believe they were selling leather for under £40. I found out it was faux and I was even more astonished: it looks and feels perfect.

Skirt, £38, Next

Too hot to wear now? Just add sliders until it’s cold enough to pair with heeled boots. My KG ones are in the sale for £49 (someone asked me if they were Prada last week):

‘Nickel’ sandal, £49, KG Kurt Geiger

This would make the perfect workwear skirt, too – just pair with a Boden cashmere or a Gap crisp shirt:

Leather sandals, £60, Office

    Fabulous find, the skirt hangs beautifully loving the idea of it in the winter with high boots (would look so gorgeously 70s) it looks great on you x think I may need one in my life x

    Lovely I wish I had known about this! I just bought a leather one off Asos but at least it was in the sale!

    Such a great price and I love the shape – a leather skirt is high on my list for A/W

    Just discovered your blog – love it! a great browse when i'm procrastinating, erm I mean having a 'thinking' break. You're woman of impeccable taste. The Next skirt looks great – how does it fit? true to size on the waist? or is it better sized up and sitting on the hips?

    It does not feel like faux leather at all, and hangs really well (not clingy – the dream)

    And Asos is always a good price, too 😉

    I am wearing a size up here, as I prefer it hanging lower and gliding over the tummy rather than clinging! Thank you for your lovely comments x

    It's such a good buy (and price!) x

    Weirdly, i bought them a while back but they weren't my favourite pair but they are quickly becoming my go-tos!

    SORRY 😉
