leather skirt: Charming Magpies, T-shirt with doggies on: River Island

I love this winter look! Leather skirt: Charming Magpies, Cable knit jumper: C&A in Germany

What do you think of leather skirts? I can't wait to wear it tucked in to something as it's high waisted! I wore the final outfit last night to the pub quiz!! Sadly it didn't help us win though!
